I ran a (for now) final edit on my website the other evening, and it’s up and running! Go check it out! Share your thoughts, and let me know what you think of my videos!

PlayActive Collective offers a range of skills from event photography to narrative and documentary video projects. As a photographer and videographer they seek to showcase social value, creativity, along with that extra dose of wonder.

I want to give a shout out to my friend Michael Miller (since he doesn't have fb, I'm tagging you Michaela Miller) who through this rough quarantine and everything else of 2020, persevered with patience and helped create this logo for me.
The last 4 years I have had various complex logos that never truly felt that they could last. Michael cut it down to three simple letters PAC, and incorporated my colors.
The PAC stands for PlayActive Collective of course.
Thank you so much Michael!!

Note: I'd love some feedback, what do you all think?

This season, OARDC at dusk has become a favorite past time. A friend and I have been experimenting with the lighting. What do you think?
Hanna: How should I pose?
Me: Hannah, strike a power pose, you pull it off so naturally!
The night was cold. We weren't out for long after the sun set. These magic hours truly only last 15 minutes.

Working with Latte was a blessing, and took great patience. I always say I’ll never work with another animal in my projects, but I always do. I had initially thought that a dog would be perfect for the story, but was out of options. Then Keith N. Smith (I should have mentioned you in casting) mentioned Latte from He Brews Coffee Shreve and I was sold! Not only was Patricia Jaszczak Visocky patient with us, Latte is an incredibly relaxed and loving companion. Thanks so much to the both of you! 🤩
And we found all sorts of snacks to feed and encourage her.
I also want to take a moment and express my thanks to Makayla Smith , my main talent, for not minding getting your hands dirty! We took at least two hours to film this opening scene, and it involved a ton of peanut better. You’re amazing, thanks for working with me! ❤️
