⫷ BIRTH STORIES ⫸
Ten little fingers & ten little toes | We've spent the last 10 years filming weddings, but these birth stories are quickly becoming some of our favorite things to work on. We cannot wait to be there for one of the most beautiful, magical, and meaningful days of your life. We just love standing silently in your birth space and capturing all of the days events as they unfold purely. We focus on the raw emotion and detail of your day to create a one of a kind short film and/or photo album to help you relive your child's birth over and over again. This video is an investment in a priceless family heirloom that will be viewed by your children and your children's children. We feel and embrace that responsibility whole heartedly and cannot wait to film your newest little bundle of joy.

⫷ THINGS TO KNOW ⫸
How do I contact you on the day of my delivery?
So a few things on this topic...We will know when your due date is so we will have a window marked on the calendar for your possible delivery date. We are very good at responding quickly and regularly communicate with our clients through text and e-mail leading up to the delivery so we know how things are progressing as we get close to your delivery date. Call/text us when contractions are starting or when you are planning to head to the hospital. Most deliveries take several hours as things progress, so we ask that you have someone designated to keep us informed as things progress so we can respond quickly once things are getting close to delivery. Doctors and nurses see a lot of deliveries and have the best idea of how things are progressing, so keep us informed of what they are saying.
How much time do I have you for?
Our packages are all inclusive and do not have a set number of hours. We will be there once things start to pick up until about an hour after the birth of your little one.
Is a deposit required to schedule my birth story?
Yes. Our deposits are 20% of your package choice. The remainder will be billed after your delivery. If for any reason we are unable to be there to document the birth, we will issue you a refund for your deposit. Deposits can be paid easily online.
What should I do to prepare?
The most important thing is to let all parties involved (doctor, hospital, spouse, etc) know what we are there to do and make sure it is ok. Make sure to get me the hospital name, room#, etc. We also ask that you bring several of your baby’s items (outfits, shoes, etc) as we will incorporate those things in your video.
Will I get the raw footage?
Raw footage is not something we currently offer. Please do not ask us for it.
Will you leave during downtime?
Every delivery is different. We try not to leave the hospital but this issue is circumstantial. If things are progressing slowly, we may step out to eat or sleep, but will be on stanby to return quickly if things progress.
Can I choose the music for my video?
All of our songs are licensed through musicbed.com so if you would like to choose your songs, please visit their website to choose.
What are my payment options?
PayPal, Venmo, Check or Cash. Whichever is easiest for you.
When will I get my video?
Since editing turn times vary throughout the year, we can't make any promises, but what we can say is we edit non-stop and we try to be as speedy as possible. Also, we know how excited you are to introduce your new bundle of joy to the world, so a lot of times we are starting to piece together your film from our computer in the waiting room.
How do I get my video?
You will have online links to view and share the video with friends & family. As well, we will be sending a USB drive with the physical file copy of your video. Additional USB drives can be purchased for $25/ea.
