This is a video I made of my daughter's birthday.

I wanted to capture some of the emotions that took place that day.

I am eternally grateful my wife and I are blessed to have children because I know many try but can't.

Shot with my Canon 5D MarkII with a 50mm 1.4 lens.

Starring my dear wife, and making her debut, my daughter Lola.

    Thank you. The song is "May it Be" by Enya remade by Vitamin String Quartet. Isn't it awesome?

    Great job Daddy! You are so sweet to appreciate the miracle of childbirth! I know Liz does too which is an amazing perspective! My 4 favorite days are getting married and giving birth to my 3 beautiful children. I think meeting that little sweet pea that was growing inside me for 9+ months is the absolute most amazing experience. You did a great job of putting it into words because I don't think I could truly express what those moments are, mean and how immensely I FEEL it. You are so right with the thin veil analogy, so, so true! We lost our first baby at 20 weeks and we feel him here everyday but even more so when the kids were born. Give your girls big squeezes! They are precious and you seem to be the perfect dad to raise 3 girls!

    WOW!! Congrats to you Collin and LIz and Quinn and Avery!!
    I can hardly express the deep emotions I felt watching your video of sweet Lola ! I don't have children (yet) and I can only hope and pray I am one of the lucky chosen ones that get to a parent.

    What a meaningful and priceless video, you have some fabulous skills behind the camera, and great ability of catching emotions with a camera!!!!
