Take the first step towards offering birth films

Expanding from photography into birth films is a natural next step, but knowing where to start is the first hurdle to overcome

Making the transition from photography to audio-visual storytelling can be a daunting task. When you think about the teams of specialists dedicated to specific tasks in large scale productions—the thought of juggling all these roles as a solo artist can be overwhelming. Not to mention the finding time and money that is required to achieve the same level of mastery you and your clients are accustomed to with your photography.

With over three decades of experience in documentary filmmaking—as well as years of experience training and mentoring up and coming filmmakers—our instructors know what it takes to reach the end goal. And like anything establishing the correct filmmaking fundamentals right from the beginning will save you form the pain of having to learn from trail and error in the long run.

Soulful Storytelling Videography Essentials is a power-packed self-paced course focusing on the filmmaking fundamentals in storytelling, camerawork and editing—with a sensitivity to the uniques challenges of filming in the birth space—that will get you started on the right track.

If you're a birth photographer who sees the potential of audio-visuals storytelling and is keen to take the first steps towards offering emotive birth films to your clients—SSVE is the perfect kick-start your learning adventure!

our stories

I'm Canadian born with Pines and Cedars and icy cold rivers running deep in my veins. However, Australia has been my home now for over half my life. I also love Mexican food, Coffee and Anne of Green Gables.

I fell in love with photography after I received my first DSLR at 17 yrs old, but my love for storytelling goes back even further to creating stories with anything I could get my hands on: Pen and paper, cassette tapes, in camera hi-8 edits, the list goes on! I was always creating stories.

After I finished high school I joined a documentary filmmaking team where I was exposed to all the aspects of run & gun videography, but I would say my storytelling strength and passion is editing. I enjoy the challenge of creating innovative films for my clients that draws viewers into an immersive audio visual experience.

our stories

I have formal training in Graphic Design, but it was during a 15 year stint working with a documentary filmmaking team that I gained experience in the art of storytelling, and perhaps more importantly met my wife!

My role now is House Dad (aka Kid Wrangler) but I can’t help getting involved in the odd side project i.e., Soulful Storytellers! I’m a conflicted creative—torn between the convenience of technology and a yearning for a simpler life. I’m a wanna-be adventurer, but for now, sport—primarily ballin’—is my go-to happy place.

My strengths in storytelling are filming live action and critiquing / problem solving in editing. I'm excited to be involved in helping birth storytellers make the transition into videography, whether that be learning the basics, or taking their films to the next level!
