Artful
Birth Films
The focus is you, your voice, your strength, giving birth with family & friends surrounding you.
A birth film is a glimpse into a world that few are awarded the privilege to witness, let alone participate in. The focus is you, your voice, your strength, giving birth on your terms, with your family and friends surrounding you. Zooming out, your giving birth video can contribute to changing the culture around birth as we know it.
Giving a birth video is an
act of celebration.
“The video that Wildwood made me is a work of art. It is sweet and intense and funny and perfectly captures the experience.”
The Power of Birth Videography
Birth is an intensely personal experience—uniquely yours—yet also a shared human journey. Through birth videography, you have the choice to document and share your story to educate, inspire, and build empathy within our collective human experience.
Whether you’re planning a water birth, home birth, or cesarean birth, your birth video can serve as a celebration of this profound rite of passage, capturing the awe, strength, and beauty of bringing life into the world.
Personalizing Your Birth Video
Respecting Your Space: As your birth videographer, I work discreetly to honor your birthing atmosphere—whether that means filming in low light or giving space when needed.
Tailored to Your Vision: Beforehand, we will discuss your preferences, including which moments you want captured (and which you don’t), ensuring the video aligns with your desires.
Preserving the Memory: Many birthing people recall birth as the most memorable experience of their lives—yet often find that details blur in their memory. A birth video allows you to rediscover the moments, emotions, and energy of your birth story, offering a timeless keepsake to share with your child in the future.

Your Portland Birth Videographer
Meet Vera
My soul’s work is that of a weaver of stories...
I began my life’s work as a documentarian over a decade ago, using an old handheld recorder and asking friends and strangers if I could record them. I am fascinated by voices, stories, and the spaces in between. My blog became a vlog as I documented the landscape of my visual experience, both stunning and mundane, believing them to be equally important.
When I witnessed (and filmed) my first birth several years ago, my love for storytelling reached new heights. What could be more spectacular than capturing the sensational, albeit at times complicated, process of a new human life joining us in this world? Truly, nothing. I am passionate to my core about this work and I count myself as one of the lucky ones who found what I love and I get to do it.
