Birth videography is a heartfelt journey that captures the profound moments of bringing new life into the world. Imagine the emotions that flood your heart as you hear the first cries of your baby, the whispers of encouragement from loved ones, and the overwhelming joy that envelops the room when your newborn is placed into your arms. These are the fleeting moments that can never be replicated but can be cherished forever through film. Birth videography transcends the physical acts of labor and delivery; it captures the essence of your unique birth story, filled with both monumental and subtle emotions that deserve to be remembered.

How I Create the Birth Video

Mastering my camera is just the beginning — it’s about understanding the heartbeat of your birth experience. With careful attention to detail, I seamlessly transition between capturing video and still images, ensuring that every crucial moment is documented. I weave together moving clips, authentic sounds, and carefully chosen music, creating a film that resonates deep within your heart. The laughter, the tears, the quiet moments of anticipation — I strive to encapsulate it all, preserving the beauty of your birthing story in a way that feels both intimate and timeless. There’s nothing more fulfilling than capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments during labor, delivery, and the sweet embrace of bonding in that golden hour.

Why Not Just Have Birth Photos / Is Birth Videography Necessary?

Photos freeze a moment in time, but video breathes life into those still frames. The gentle whispers of encouragement, the strength in your breath, your partner’s quiet tears of joy, and the magical first cry of your baby — all captured in motion, emotions woven together as a tapestry of love. Whether this is your first birth or your fifth, a birth film becomes a cherished treasure, a keepsake you will revisit time and again. If you take a moment to watch any of my birth films, I believe the answer to “Is Birth Videography necessary?” will resonate deeply within you.

How Long are These Birth Videos?

Do I capture every single moment over the span of 18 hours? No, but I do focus on snippets of this incredible day, weaving together the melodic sounds of your birth space, the heartfelt words of your partner, and the beautiful cries or coos of your new family member. These birth videos typically last between 5 and 10 minutes, yet they are brimming with love, raw beauty, and authentic emotion. They are not just videos; they are small pieces of art, crafted with care, that encapsulate the incredible journey of welcoming your baby into the world. Embrace the opportunity to hold onto your birth experience forever — let me help you tell this beautiful story.

These lovelies messaged me about a week before her due date. They were looking for a doula but hadn’t found one. The ones they did find were already booked. This was started months ago. Well, they changed their search criteria and boom, I popped up on Google for them. I am so glad I did!

I let them know I had another birth scheduled, but the chances of two different families having a baby on the same day at the same time were unlikely, but just in case, I worked with a backup. They didn’t mind at all. They would risk it.

I kept them very up to date ion what the other family was doing. When I got the call to go to the other birth, I let them know. This other birth went about 24 hours. Around the 23rd hour mark, I got a call that these ladies were heading to their birth center as the surges were getting very intense.

I wrapped up the first birth, went home, jumped in the shower, slapped myself around a bit and headed off to the birth center. This was at Moxie Birth in Pasadena.

It was a gorgeous sun drenched room, perfect for a peaceful birth.

Active labor wasn’t too long especially for a first time mom! Maybe about 5 hours later, transition hit and it was go time♥

If you would like to see their birth film, I encourage you to listen as well. The audio really makes it all work perfectly.
