Chris and Sarah's Wedding




I don't shoot weddings very often anymore. But sometimes I'm persuaded. This was the case with my good friends Sara and Chris. They are just awesome people and they make the work seem more like play. Aren't they just the cutest couple? I really enjoyed being a part of their wedding.

Kickstarter Success!

We did it! I really was loosing hope in the end, but I got my Christmas wish and funding for my documentary was successful! The campaign was 104% funded by 85 people! Everyone who pledged played a part in making this happen. I’m so grateful to my friends and family who helped and also to the complete strangers who contributed. Now I’m able to move forward and get this documentary finished. It’s back to the grindstone. My goal is to have this documentary finished by this summer in time for some big film festival deadlines. Thank you everyone!

Trick or Treating at the Hospital

I belong to this group of female, horror filmmakers and one of them posted a story about when her son was in the Hospital over Halloween and how bummed he was missing out on trick or treating. That night a group of actors came through in costume and handed out toys for the kids and visited with them and that just made his Halloween.

She told her story to us and challenged everyone to visit the children's hospital in their home town on Halloween. So that's what I did. It was so rewarding, the kids really loved it. I collected lots of donations from local businesses, including a local comic book shop that gave every kid two comic books. It was awesome. So the next time Halloween or another holiday rolls around in your neighborhood, don't forget about the kids stuck in the hospital.
