Birth Love Story

Watch as this sweet family of three becomes four.

Videographer for Birth Love Story on why capturing birth videos is important:
“The reason I find capturing birth is important I say as a client, as a mother: I married to create a family. I invested in lasting memories from my wedding day and I wanted no less from the day my babies joined our family. I wanted all the raw emotion, all the pain and tears, all the smiles and tears of joy. And I got it all. So I want all moms to have the same treasure I am lucky to have!”
