They say they’re just capturing memories, and innocently sharing their lives- but what happens when the person your entire business depends on decides they’re done performing. One More Take is a dark comedy about the blurry line between documenting your family online, and monetizing it. The priority is no longer about protecting their kids, it’s about protecting the business, status, and lifestyle they have created. 🎬 When we were expecting, we made the decision to keep our daughter off the internet. Not just to protect her privacy, but to ultimately protect her childhood and allow her to be a kid. What initially felt like a fun, creative way to share our journey as parents, (putting Jon in a bow) quickly made us feel more grounded in that choice the second we met our daughter. We work in an industry that has little to no regulation around family content creators and felt inspired to create a film that spread the message. Kids are not content.

We don’t handle rejection very well here 🙃 Jon and I have always posted skits inspired by what's going on in our lives, and that includes this one. We never thought we would be here making this 'follow-up' to our first video resigning as DINKs (Dual Income No Kids), but here we are. And that's life. Real life. There are ups and downs, and along the way, I've discovered that a little (sometimes dark) humor brings moments of relief. This post is a small part of that journey, a reminder that it's okay to give ourselves and each other permission to laugh again. We can’t thank you all enough for your continued outpouring of support. And to all the couples who had their DINK memberships renewed, did you turn your nursery into a wine cellar? We haven’t…just asking.

Life after losing your baby is a minefield of awkward interactions. You can rehearse your responses, but in reality, it never goes as planned. People will offer their condolences, of course, and some who are unaware of your loss, will congratulate you, making you both want to crawl out of your skin. You become “that couple”- the ones friends carefully tiptoe around when sharing their happy news, afraid of shattering your already shattered heart. You’ll overthink every interaction and you’ll be sensitive to how people treat you differently. Everything in this season of life is uncomfortable. When we started brainstorming ideas for our second short film, the last thing I wanted to write about was our loss. It was too fresh, too painful, and felt too close to home. And then, those became the exact reasons we needed to create it. “Shower” is for the moms who lost their babies too soon, it’s for the partners who feel like they need to be the “strong one” while navigating their own grief, and it’s for the best friend who is over the moon about becoming an auntie despite her devastating loss. We made this for us, we made this for you, and we made this for Leo. We can’t wait to share it 🤍 In the dark comedy Shower, a devoted husband navigates the delicate task of helping his grieving wife prepare for her best friend's baby shower after the loss of their own child.
