Sometimes you win while sleeping (usually after sacrificing lots of sleep)

I awoke to a flight attendant tapping my shoulder and urging me to pull down my tray table. Odd, don’t they usually wake you up so you can do the opposite? Groggily, I pulled down the tray in a dreamy, Charlie pre-golden ticket state to reveal a (not gold but) yellow sticker proclaiming, “Congrats! You …

Why and When would we use a Two Camera Shoot?

I just got asked this question “I’ve noticed a lot of people using two cameras including a shot of themselves on the side when they’re actually facing the other camera, why?” Great question! And it’s one I’ve taken for granted. My answer was, “I do it because it looks cool!” But that’s not entirely accurate. …

How to add an Automatic and Consistent Description to your Youtube Videos (video)

For so long, I’ve manually typed in my description for each video, and while, as you can see now, I’m typing in something unique, I would have to re-think and re-research and re-type certain things for the video. Like my website and email etc etc. It was time consuming and not efficient. What IS efficient, …

Here’s what most people don’t see (but probabl Here’s what most people don’t see (but probably should):
 
👉 A 15-second video can take 3 hours (or more) to shoot. It’s not just point-and-shoot - it’s lighting, sound, angles, direction, intention, and getting it to feel right.

👉 Sometimes, I’ll choose message over perfection. A perfect video that says nothing won’t move people.

👉 Long-form isn’t killing attention spans. Bad storytelling is. If the story is strong, people will watch the whole thing. (K-pop Demon Hunters anyone???)

👉 I spend more time editing videos than marketing myself (thank Hanna for that 😉).

👉 I charge for value, not just my time. Because you're not just paying for a camera, you’re investing in expertise, strategy, direction, and results.

👉 And yes, I still get nervous before big shoots. Every. Single. Time. But I always show up and deliver what your story deserves.
 
This work isn’t just about creating “cool videos.” It’s about telling stories that move people, connect with your audience, and support your business with purpose.
 
If you’re ready to stop winging your content and start showing up with clarity, confidence, and scroll-stopping visuals, shoot us a DM.
 
We’ll make something that actually works for you.

We're just not buying it anymore. As a videograp We're just not buying it anymore. 

As a videographer who works with different kinds of businesses, I’ve seen the impact of intentional content, and I’ve also heard all the myths 🙄

Here’s what we’re clearing up today:

🎀 Video marketing isn't complicated, but it can be, if you go solo.
🎀 If you want a "five-minute edit", you’ll get "five-minute" results. Craft takes time.
🎀 Engagement builds community, trust, and future revenue. It’s part of the long game.
🎀 Authenticity + strategy + consistency = results for any business.
🎀 You are the algorithm. Engagement starts with you.
