Capturing the Power and Raw Beauty of Birth

Birth is real, raw, and profoundly beautiful. It’s the culmination of strength, love, and the sheer power of your body bringing new life into the world. As a birth videographer, I’m here to capture those moments in a way that honors your journey through film... no matter how it unfolds.

The Birth Documentary takes a different approach. Running 10-20 minutes, this film tells the story in real time, chronologically, without music, capturing the candid and honest elements of your birth. It’s raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real. This is the film that shows every breath, every push, every tender moment of connection between you and your support team.

It’s a way to truly see yourself in the power of birthing your baby.

Portland Birth Videography

I offer two distinct types of birth films that reflect the unique story of your experience.

The Birth Story Edit is a 3-5 minute film that weaves together the most powerful moments, set to music, creating an emotional, idyllic reflection of your birth. This film is all about the feelings: the beauty, the strength, the awe. It’s perfect for sharing with loved ones or simply revisiting the magic of that day.

Whether you choose the Story Edit or the Documentary, I promise to hold space for your experience. I’ll capture the details that matter: the quiet strength, the raw emotions, the moments that feel like time stands still. Because your birth story deserves to be seen, remembered, and honored for what it truly is, a powerful and transformative journey.

I'll help preserve these moments in a way that feels authentic to you.

Your birth, your story, told with love, respect, and the artistry it deserves.

what past clients have to say

I'm blown away by the little details, all the sounds, and quiet conversations that you captured in our birth film... I can't believe this is what we looked like!

Having the sound of my baby's first cry, the words of encouragement from my husband, my amazing midwives, everything on video is something we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
