A few months ago, I was able to spend a morning with The Kneese Family. They had just welcomed their 3rd daughter into the world. Their new baby was also a rainbow baby. Originally, Dawn was my birth client. She had a home birth planned and we planned to do birth videography and photography during her delivery. As her due date came, things were just stalling out over and over. Long story short, she ended up with a 4 day induction at a nearby hospital. It took that long, because she didn’t want many interventions or to have the process rushed. With her doula, midwife, and husband as her support and there to fight off the doctors who wanted to rush the process, she was able to deliver her baby vaginally after 4 long days. During this time, she decided we would use the credit she had paid for her birth video to do a family film and later, a 6 month photo session.
The goal of the film is to highlight their family where they are right now. During the filming, I felt a strong sense of dreamy, dream, this is her living dream…. so the song I chose was just that. As I was editing, I came to realize that during her daughter reading to her younger sister, she is talking about dreams. I believe that Dawn having her 4th baby, 3rd daughter must feel like a dream after having a loss.
I know that God is in control and that everything works out just as it is supposed to. I am so glad for Dawn’s birth and that I was able to capture this day for them. Dawn is also a Lactation Consultant at Lavender Lactation and services Nashville and surrounding areas.
I hope you enjoy their family film. It’s very dreamy. To book your family film or newborn session, contact me here.
