Planned Home Birth and Surprise Gender

The Birth of Franklin Heath

The Birth Video

This was my 3rd time documenting this families birth, and it was this Mom’s 6th birth. She was a VBAC, 4 vaginal births after 3 C-sections. And, just like last time, this was a surprise gender.

The Mom has a history of precipitous births, meaning once she is in active labor things move very fast. Sometimes we will be with Moms longer than usual because of this, and that was the case for Katie again.

I created this film for them, and they also received a full documentary film with all the raw footage in it. Because Katie labors on the quieter side, it allowed me to make this film more cinematic and artsy.
