So I have been “that person” since my junior high days.
You know, the one who brought a camera everywhere and took pictures of everything. I’ve always had a passion for capturing the moment, even when I was just buying disposable cameras from the grocery store. While in college I took a course in digital photography and fell in love with the art of photography. As they say, the rest is history. With the birth of my first daughter my passion for all things photography was renewed, and now I'm so grateful to be able to use something I love to bless the lives of others.
Since the moment that video capabilities began to be available on DSLR cameras, I have been soaking up every ounce of education I can on video, including personal mentorships with some very talented filmmakers. I originally started working with video as early as 2013, and have spent the last few years honing in on creative personal filmmaking in particular.
I have a PASSION for films.
There is something magical about cinematic video set to the perfect music and edited together with an eye for storytelling. I was first drawn to working with film because I was struck with the unique ability of video to elicit an emotional response. As someone who routinely cries during commercials this was not a new insight, but as video capabilities became more regularly available, I was so excited about the idea of exploring video creatively for myself and my clients. And WOW ... it cracked open stores of passion and creativity that I didn't know were there.
I consider it such a blessing that I now get to bring this unique format for capturing memories to my clients. To see how well these films are received - the tears, the kind words, the shares and responses from family and friends alike - it fills my heart with so much joy!
Everything else you (n)ever wanted to know about me ...
I live in Dallas with my wonderful husband Ross and my precious daughters Emory and Finley, for whom I thank God every day. I’m an alumnus of J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson and Trinity University in San Antonio.
