About The Baby Mini Doc Project
“We strive to show just how indescribably beautiful the totality of the parenthood journey really is – the mess, the chaos, the joy, and the wonder of it all.”
As every parent of a young child knows: time goes by way too quickly. So who has time to capture these moments (with both parents actually in the frame), much less put them together in a professional, creative way, amidst everything else that has to get done? The Baby Mini Doc Project does! Led by award winning documentary filmmaker (and mom) Melissa A. Gomez, The Baby Mini Doc Project creates cinematic mini “day in the life” documentaries capturing the magic of everyday moments and milestones with your littlest ones.
Let us take this one important item off your family’s to do list, and create a beautiful original work of art that will serve as a time capsule of these wondrous first years together, and be shared within your family for generations to come.
