Nashville, Tennessee Birth Videography & Photography

When I film and photograph a birth, I am aiming to creatively tell the story of your birth through the perspective of the connections between you and your spouse and new baby, as well as other individuals at your birth.

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 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

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

  • Supporting you and documenting you are both sacred roles…but they are different. A doula holds your hand. I hold the lens. And to do either one well, you need full presence. I want to show up 100% for you…in the role I am meant to play. That’s how I tell your story with honesty, intention, and deep care.

  • 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.
