“Norma is amazing! Not only have I seen her in action during the births of others, but I have used her for my own birth as well. Her quiet presence is hardly noticed in the room and yet she captures so many moments up-close. Her work is priceless! She went above and beyond for my family in so many ways! I am forever grateful for the gifts she has given us through her work.
”
