Olivia first contacted me about birth videography but with increasing hospital restrictions due to Covid, we decided the best plan was a maternity video followed by a newborn session. I think it turned out to be a wonderful alternative. 

Olivia and Zander wanted a boy for so long and gave up for a while. They were pleasantly surprised when they dicsovered they were expecrting and even more so when they found out it was a boy. Their girls, Anna and Sydney, couldn’t be more excited.

Such a special gift deserves a special name. and I love how they came up with Mikelin Brae. Mikelin is a combination of their fathers’ names and Brae is each first inital of their brothers’ names. 

This was my first time doing a maternity video. I was a little nervous at first but as soon as we got to the beach, everything fell right into place. The best part was interviewing each family memeber so that they can remember how they were feeling during the aniticapation of Mikelin’s arrival.

Capturing this moment was particularly important to Olivia because she is also a photographer. She understands that documenting these memories will keep them fresh in their minds forever. You can see some of Olivia’s work on her website.
