DISCLAIMER:
1. There is about 30 second of footage in the middle of the 9 min video of actual c-section surgery… it’s quick and a big piece of the story so we kept it in but if you are at all squeamish with blood or don’t want your children to see a c-section please be aware.
2. The footage filmed in the operating room was filmed by an OB, Dr. Paul, not by Kim nor I. He did a great job but we wanted to be honest that we did not shoot that section of the video. We are SO glad he was able to take my camera in there and get what he did!
3. Alicia… why do I see you using a point and shoot camera?
4. Song choice is the HARDEST part of making a film in my opinion. Sometimes I get the song in my head as I’m shooting and then the video is a breeze. This time, I was clueless and literally spent about 6 hours over the weekend listening to and debating about song choice! It was a nightmare. Ultimately I went with some of my first gut instincts and a tip from Kim. Here are the songs… 1. So Glad I’m Here by Elizabeth Mitchell 2. Magic by Rabbit 3. Recipe for Love by Rabbit 4. Safe and Sound by Matthew West
5. Tom and Sharon did not know if it was a boy or girl going in so if you listen carefully when Mac is born you can hear Sharon say, “it’s a boy?” and then the doctor replies with, “it’s a beautiful baby boy”. That is also why everyone was so excited when Tom came out to introduce him! And one of my favorite parts is when Sharon’s mom and niece/nephew hear “it’s a boy!”… seeing Barb jump up and down makes me so happy!
6. Get Kleenex and LOTS of it if you’ve followed this family’s story at all. Trust me. You’ll need it.
Enjoy… this was a total pleasure to put together!

So much love. In it’s purest form. On the faces, in the hugs and teary-eyed smiles. Welcome, Mac, and once again, CONGRATS to you Tom and Sharon. I’m just so happy for you!
That is a great video, a great story. Mac is one beautiful baby boy. I couldn’t be happier for Sharon and Tom. I know you are enjoying all the baby cuddles and that new baby smell. Take care.
Again, bawling!! Surrounded by so many family and friends so sweet. Such a proud mama and papa. Congratulations!!
Awesome!!!
Yup, I lost it 5 seconds in when Tom kissed Sharon’s belly. Amazing video. He is so stinkin’ cute! And I’ll bet Tom still hasn’t washed off that foot print. Congratulations!
Once again, congratulations to you! He is perfect! I pray God will continue bless you and watch over your family.

Damn you Fresh Art Photography for absolutely nailing it. Amazing video, the tears are running like a waterfall. Congrats to Julie and Tom! Absolutely amazing!
So beautiful and simply sweet!!
PERFECTION! Made my night!!! I’m so happy for this family!
That was so beautiful 🙂
Beautiful! What a heart warming story…so happy for this couple!
Beautiful! Feels like I was there!! I already bought the song for my Itunes “Safe and Sound” by Matthew West. So happy for all three of you!
WOW girls!!! You out did yourselves for sure! I was good until the last song and seeing Tom sitting there watching over Mac in the nursery and Julie’s kiddos holding Mac first then I lost it ;). What an awesome video! SO happy for the Johnstons.
P.S. Jodie ~ Tom told me to make some comment about how his JVC camera’s batteries outlasted your fancy camera’s. I hope I got that right and I’m sure you know what I’m talking about :). I do have to say Dr. Paul did good getting the delivery room footage.
I have no words.. simply amazing. When sweet Mac opened his eyes…. I bawled! He is STUNNING. I LOVE that EVERY second is filled with someone smiling or laughing. Your song choices were perfect Jodie!
Oh geeze! Why do you all do this to me all the time!? I have a meeting in 20 minutes and I’m just a blubbering mess after watching that. Such a sweet thing to share with all of us! Congratulations and many prayers for Tom, Sharon & Mac!!
What a sweet video. I love dad when he is announcing his son’s name to the family, I totally bawled!!!!
what a treasure! he is so precious!!!
What a beautiful video (and Sharon you know I love videos)!! God was smiling
as Mac was born, and Mac, you are blessed to have as parents two of the finest
people I know. We’re waitng at the farm for Tom and Mac’s first fishing trip.
Much love on such a wonderful occasion!!! Thirza and Jim
I love the way Mac and Seamus’ mom smiles with her eyes. What a perfect day for them. Congrats!
Great job! Such happiness.
Just wanted to say that I ignored your tissue warning–but should have listened. Wow. What an amazing video and story. Best of luck and love to the new family as they begin this journey.
Wow, what a story this video tells. Excellent shots, music and close-ups of the beautiful baby. I think it was wonderful how you captured the joy and smiles on that new mom! It was the most touching part of the entire video. Please thank the family for sharing their special moment with us. It is greatly appreciated!
OH MY GOSH!!! I linked over here from Inspire me baby….I’m boo-hooing at work. I do not know the family’s story but the video itself is BEAUTIFUL! I am expecting my first child in March and all I can think is how much I want to have that day documented!
Good one .. i think you almost done a good job
