10 perfect fingers & 10 perfect toes. Welcome to the world Emory Caitlin Klebe đź’› 8/9/2025 12:12 pm đź’› 7 lbs 4 oz 20 in đź’›
Birth and the first week of postpartum have rocked my world in ways I couldn’t see coming but I’ve meditated on this:
“I think we forget that life was never meant to be understood, life was meant to be felt. We spend so much time trying to figure everything out, trying to fix, explain, solve, control. But life is not a puzzle, it’s a wave and you were not meant to carry the wave, you were meant to let it move through you.
The joy, the fear, the heartbreak, the moments that didn’t make sense till much later. You were not broken, you were becoming.
I think the sadness comes from holding on to what was meant to pass.
We grip the moment, the person, the feeling hoping to freeze it in time but everything you have ever loved was borrowed and the beauty of it was never in the holding. It was in the being. So if you are hurting don’t rush to escape it. If you are lost don’t race to find directions.
Feel it, all of it, because this too is part of the dance and if you listen closely enough, even your pain is trying to teach you how to be alive.” -Alan Watts
half of you-half of me-and we are half baked already! @kyleklebe and I are beyond blessed to have a baby coming in august 2025!
thank you @julyfolzaye for taking these photos!
I don’t think we could have asked for a better camera department on this project. They worked magic to get a lot of set ups and complicated shots done in an incredibly short amount of time.
Wrapped a 103 page, 14 day feature film shoot at the Magic Castle last night!
It was an absolutely amazing experience….filled with thrilling victories, frustrating compromises, creative problem solving, glorious emotions, lifelong lessons, passionate collaboration, emotional roller coasters, brothers and sisters carrying each other through the trenches…making dreams come true. The experience constantly reminded me why I love being a filmmaker.
We push ourselves towards the brink because we have the burning desire to express, to connect and to share.
It is indeed magical. All of it.
thank you 🙏🏻 to my amazing team that continue to say yes to all of my crazy journeys… even after probably swearing that they’ll never do this again
