I have over a decade of experience as a videographer and photographer for a variety of businesses and non-profits. I specialize in an interview style that visually tells your story through your products and services.

 

I've worked extensively with leaders like you to create compelling product-specific photos and videos and community-supporting content. All with the goal of building your reputation and influence. At the same time you promote the lifestyle, businesses, and non-profits that make your community great; your personality and passion will make your product or service stand out to prospective clients. 

 

Instead of AI-generated posts and recycled quotes, let's create authentic meaningful content together that doesn't just say that you are better, it demonstrates that you are. If you are ready to give your marketing and social media teams something worth sharing, contact me today.

More about my background:

​

Through the 90s I was involved in one music project or another. I interned at several professional studios and clubs learning the ins and outs (literally) of audio production. I became familiar with analog as well as the emerging digital technology. I ended the 90s at a web video start-up called Atomfilms in Seattle working as a production coordinator encoding video tapes, editing audio, and writing web copy for film pages and so started my slow transition from audio-only to moving and still image work..

​

Starting in 2008,  I have produced a huge variety of corporate video, photo, and audio content for web deployment. 

 

I was employee number one of Wisetail, a web-based enterprise training platform. Part of the initial setup for new clients was a set of training, marketing, and/or 'About Us' videos. I was responsible for shooting and editing these videos. Our clients included the likes of Patagonia, PG&E, Yogaworks (Santa Monica), Samsung, Canon, and BBDO (Toronto) to name a few.

​

In 2010, I moved to Portland, OR to begin working as a contractor for Wisetail while I developed my own client list.

​

In 2015, I  began integrating drone videography into my productions and that same year started capturing video and still images for real estate listings. In 2020, I launched my real estate-specific brand, Pacific Realty Images. 

​

Now that we've emerged from Covid, I've relocated to Bellingham, WA and have resumed developing new corporate, non-profit, and Realty clients here and all the way up and down the i5 corridor as far south as Portland. My specialties include the aforementioned corporate video, headshot photography, and real estate (photography, drone, video, and 360 tours).

 

My digital videography and photography tools are Canon mirrorless R Series. I edit videos predominantly in Adobe Premiere Pro and I have advanced Final Cut Pro X skills as well. For motion graphics, I work primarily in Apple Motion with experience in after effects.  My photo editing is primarily in Lightroom Classic and photoshop cc. My audio editing and production is in Logic X. I use Izotope RX and several of Izotope's other applications for specialized audio cleaning and production tasks. I'm an FAA-certified sUAS pilot.
