Nashville, Tennessee Birth Videography & Photography

“Jennie is so passionate and intentional in her work to make sure you

relive every moment.

Being able to do that is truly so healing and

is something I will cherish forever.“

Your Birth Matters

It's not just a birth. It's the moment everything changed.

The sound of the room going still. The weight of them, finally in your arms.

You won't remember all of it. But you'll want to.

My job is to be invisible and present at the same time … to hold your story gently while you live it. To find the light in the quiet corners, and the meaning in the small things.

Because your birth wasn't just an event. It was the beginning of something that deserves to be felt, again and again.

When I film and photograph a birth, I want to tell the story of your journey through labor and delivery, of how everyone surrounded you to help you through that journey and of you and your husband meeting your new baby.

My cinematic skills create a beautifully told story of the day you gave birth. From the connections with the people invited into your birth space, to the experience of your journey to delivery, I tell the story using my experience and education in cinematic filmmaking and photography (as well as psychology) to give you an invaluable moment one that you will relive over and over.

I want you to be able to go back to that very moment over and over for years to come.

  • "We used Jennie for our birth film and it was one of the BEST decisions we made. The photos + film that came back were incredible and will be cherished by our family forever!!!"

    -Madison

  • Jennie has a beautiful way of being a fly on the wall, yet capturing the most stunning photos and videos. She is kind, compassionate, and has such a beautiful, nostalgic style that’s unmatched."

    - Dani Huka, Doula

  • "The experience of hiring Jennie was amazing and life changing. It’s beautiful for us to go back and watch the birth and Jennie captured everything without us really even realizing she was there."

    - Daniel

  • "It was amazing to relive the birth experience via the video she delivered - her cinematic style is beautiful! Can’t believe we captured those precious and fleeting moments and get to look back on them forever. Hard to put a price on this! No one is creating the kind of content she is- don’t hesitate to book her."

    - Piyali

  • "Jennie is masterful at being present with families without interrupting their experience. Her eye is unmatched as she grasps the tenderness, the feel, the spirit of birth. Without being there, you get to witness truly the beauty within the moment. She also has a way of interacting with the extended family and birth workers that integrates her as a part of the birth team."

    - Viergeni White, Doula

  • “She is so passionate and intentional in her work to make sure you relive every moment. Being able to do that is truly so healing and something I will cherish forever. We are endlessly grateful for her!”

    - Sydney

  • "Her energy was supportive, encouraging and genuine to the point we joked by the end of the birth calling her the back up doula. There were so many moments she captured that I was like “I hope she got that!” .. because I remember her in my ear cheering me on rather than remembering a camera being in my face."

    - Sydney

There is not one moment more important than the day you give birth.

With my second son, in 2012, I had him with Vanderbilt Midwives. Lauren Drees, current owner of Haven Birth and Wellness, was my midwife. I had a videographer at his birth and the video is one of my most prized possessions. Having video of my labor and delivery and first moments together, is so invaluable to me. Having video of my husband's emotions and his love for both of us, is indescribable. Because of this experience, both in birth and having had a film done, I know what moments are going to be meaningful to my clients.

When you rewatch your film, I don’t want you to just see your birth.

I want you to feel it all over again.

I approach birth videography from a few different angles. For one, I have had my own birth filmed.

I want to make a cinematic film using my skills and expertise in sound design (using the music to enhance the story), color grading (color of the video) as well as my extensive experience in story telling.

Im not going to just take clips of your birth and slap them on with background music.

Rather, I will tell the story of your journey through labor and delivery, as well as post birth and your first moments as a family, or with siblings.

Your birth film will highlight the connections and emotions that existed through your experience.

 FAQs

  • With modern technology, we are able to capture a lot on phones. When a loved one holds a phone, they aren't fully holding space. They're managing lighting and angles, not offering a hand or a whisper of encouragement. They're outside the moment, not in it with you.

    Birth is sacred. Your partner deserves to be there, and so do you. Let a professional carry the responsibility of preserving your memories—so everyone else can simply live them.

    They cannot be fully present for you.

    It is also a lot of pressure to be responsible for capturing video of the birth, while simultaneously experiencing emotions themselves.

    When you hire a birth photographer, you delegate the photos to a professional and let your partner do what they are best at, which is support you.

  • On Call means that I am available to come to your birth at any given moment. I am on call for you from 37-42 weeks.

  • The earlier the better! Some people email me the minute they find out they are pregnant.

  • Yes, I do! I want to work within any budget and make it workable for your family.

  • I am a professional birth videographer and photographer who believes in throwing 150% of myself into each and every birth. My goal is to give you the best photos and video I can from the day of your birth. I believe in building a relationship with my clients (especially birth since it is such a sacred space!). This is why I not only meet you before we go through the booking process, but I meet you at your home. I want to see your birth space and see the vision you have for your birth. My goal is to bring you back to the very moment your baby entered the world for years to come.

  • I aim to arrive 2-3 hrs before delivery, around 6-7 cm (all a guesstimate, as we know!) and stay approximately 2 hours after birth. I am aiming to capture all of your transition phase of birth as well as immediately after birth as you have skin to skin, cut the cord, latch for the first time. I will also capture daddy holding baby for the first time, baby getting weighed and measured during their newborn assessment and then if applicable, the siblings meeting their little baby sibling.

  • Should I miss your birth (which is extremely rare) … I will give you a credit to use towards future family films and photography shoots.
