About me

Hi, Im so glad your here!

My name is Kiley Benedetto I am a birth doula, beginner birth photographer (doulatog), and a woman of many creative passions based in Central Illinois. I’m a daughter of God, wife to my best friend, and mama to four beautiful girls who have shaped my heart and calling in powerful ways.

My greatest passion is walking alongside women during the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. I’m currently building my craft as a birth photographer and offer bundled doula + photo packages (doulatog), as well as Fresh 48 sessions, family photos, and maternity photography. As I grow in this work, I’m committed to capturing raw, real, and reverent moments with care, humility, and deep love for this season of life.

I found I had a passion for all things pregnancy and birth related when I prepared for my first physiological birth with my 2nd child back in 2016. It was such an empowering and life changing experience. My love for birth continued to grow when I was honored to attend the birth of a dear friend. I am absolutely captivated by the power of the female body. The ability to create, sustain and birth life with such beauty and grace will always leave me in awe. Women are so incredibly strong and powerful, and it is my honor to come alongside them during the sacred dance that is birth. My desire as a doula is to support, inform, and advocate for moms. I aim to be a safe place and source of strength during such a beautiful and vulnerable time.

Outside of birth work, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I am a woman of faith and a lover of ALL Gods beautiful creation. I enjoy the simple things in life like reading a good book, sipping hot coffee, soaking in quiet moments, or laughing with my girls. I’m an ambivert - a homebody at heart who also comes alive in deep, soul-nourishing conversations.  I’m a creative at heart—a jack-of-all-trades who delights in beauty, atmosphere, and intentional living. Under my Sacred Dove brand, I also offer holistic lifestyle support, interior styling, makeup artistry, and event planning. Everything I do is rooted in my faith and a desire to help women feel safe, seen, and aligned with the life God has designed for them.

I’m not a medical professional, but I am spiritually grounded and deeply educated in supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My goal is to empower families to make the decisions that best fit their specific situation & beliefs. I believe birth is sacred, motherhood is transformative, and every woman deserves support that honors her story.
