From clients…

  • "Emily is amazing! Besides being a wonderful videographer, she also provided emotional support and encouraged me during my delivery. My baby came 6 weeks early (unexpectedly) and she still was ready and got to the hospital super fast. She respected what I wanted for her to document and what not, she was never in the way of the medical staff, and she took beautiful shots. She took shots of moments that I didn't realize were happening in the room and was able to see them on the video. I'm thankful I had Emily that day to witness and document what was one of the best days of my life. If you want someone to capture the beauty of your birth, Emily sure is the perfect person to do that."

  • "I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to have Emily capture the birth of our son. It is truly something that I will cherish forever. Our daughter was born during the height of COVID and we weren't allowed to have anyone else with us. I struggle to remember that time so, having someone there to help us document this day was something that was very important to me. She needed no direction and was able to provide a beautiful and tasteful video that I could share with the ones I love, as well as look back on for the rest of my life. She was an amazing support for me the entire day, you almost didn't realize the actual reason she was there. I honestly cannot imagine having another baby without having her there with us."

  • "I've had the privilege of having Emily capture all THREE of my baby's births. Never have I had to worry if she would be there. In a moments notice she was headed our way to capture my three best memories - that I now have to cherish for the rest of my life. Emily was a bonus to have in the room. She has a great talent in knowing when to be a fly on the wall or your bff. 5 years later I still rewatch my very first birth video, and am moved to tears every single time. It is tasteful and meaningful and I love that I can look back on these videos and relive some moments I didn't get to experience first hand - like daddy seeing baby for the first time. I wouldn't have another baby without knowing I'd do the same thing and have Emily there with me to capture it all again."

  • "Coming from the labor nurse stand point, Emily has been amazing for these women! She has a true gift for this and I wish I was able to have this experience with [my first]."
