The Twins

The Birth of Twins - The Birth of Parents.

This is an emotional one for me, a video I didn’t plan on making.

The last birth I attended, Bon Iver played through most of her labor. This stirred up so much that I didn’t expect to feel, and found myself in tears more often than not. Driving home, I threw on one of the songs and couldn’t stop thinking about my best friend and how she’s a mother now to two beautiful girls, on this journey with her actual soul mate. On impulse, I went back to all the secret videos I took of their journey into parenthood that I totally forgot about taking. She lives states away, I flew out to see her when she found out the sex of her babies and again for a month to wait for them to be born so I could shoot her birth. Along the way, being the sentimental person and photographer that I am I just kind of kept taking little snips here and there of watching my best friends go through this shift of being. I cried pretty much the entire time making this video, I miss every single day without them. It may not be the most professional, or well put together, but it’s dear to my heart and I had to share it with all of you. I love them all so much. I hope this pulls on your heart as much as it did with mine, and you can feel how much love just pours out of them.

For Magnolia & Eleanor 🌿
