Brand Spotlight Videography: A Hero Video for Peach Lasers’ Home Page

Peach Lasers approached me to create their website’s hero section video, a short and fun 30-second video to welcome visitors on their home page. The goal of the top banner video is to make a strong first impression and communicate the quality service they offer.

After storyboarding some ideas and setting a shoot plan, we set a shoot date and I got to work with a model to capture this video. We wanted the video to communicate professionalism while still showcasing the welcoming and personable service that theirs customers experience. By using a custom, branded video they are able to stand out and inspire more trust in their audience (unlike stock videos).

This was a really fun project to work on. I love helping businesses showcase their unique brand and creating 30-second hero videos is an effective way of doing it.

Family Film: The Walls

If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine how much more a film is worth.

As moms, we often question ourselves, struggle with feelings of inadequacy and we easily fall into believing we aren’t doing the best for our children. Motherhood is exhausting, chaotic and stressful. However, there are so many nuggets of beauty, indescribable love and incredibly deep connection. It’s just that often, the negative worries seem to weigh heavier and it steals our confidence.

Having been through 7+ years of the “early days” with kids at home myself, I can attest that although it’s hard and it feels like you’ll never be able to swim above water, before you know it, the phase is over. You start wondering if you read them enough books, cuddled them long enough, spoke enough words of affirmation, breastfed them long enough, played on the floor with them enough, laughed with them enough. Even though you may have, often the chaos of the early years blinds you from seeing that you did well.

This is why creating Family Films is so important to me. I want parents to be able to see their relationships with their kids from an outside view, so that they can see and believe in the beautiful riches of love that they are fostering in their home.

I also want their children to have tangible memories captured for them to look back on, to hold on to, and to treasure. I want them to remember the good moments, just as much as I want to affirm the parents in those good moments.

They’re there, and they’re beautiful. It may not be a grandiose thing, but it’s the little moments that kids are nurtured through, and I want to be there to document it before that stage in the parenting journey is over.

Last week I spent a morning with the Wall family in their quaint home on a quiet street in South-East Winnipeg. Chelsea wanted to make sure we captured the moments they cherish the most: reading books in bed, cuddling her toddler with his bottle, playing outside, and capturing their children’s beautiful eyes, blond curls and curious hearts. The moments were so sweet, especially when Iver whispered a secret into his dad’s ear. (you have to watch that part!) Every time I saw that clip during the editing, my heart just melted.

They are a sweet family with big hearts and strong love. It was an absolute delight capturing the “early years” for them. I hope that this film will forever be a reminder to them of the richness they are pouring into their kids on a daily basis.

I also took a few photos throughout the film shoot so that the family would have images they can print and put up on their walls.

Family Film: The Robins

Last Thursday, while drinking my morning cappuccino, inspiration struck in an unexpected way. The idea of creating short films for families caught my attention. While finishing my coffee and browsing online, I found an online videography course which I followed over the next 2 days. By the following morning I had booked shoot dates with two families willing to be my guinea pigs for this new endeavour, and by Saturday morning I was at the Robin’s home, the first of the two families.

You may know Jenni from @jennirobins and @mykateandnorah on Instagram. I met her a few years ago through Emily Janzen, while styling one of my Spring mini photo sessions. She is the sweetest, most creative and endearing person ever. What I love most about Jenni is her deep love for her family and the amount of intention she puts into raising her two young daughters. Her home is a place of comfort and love with careful attention on growth, learning and building each other up. I didn’t know to what extent I would discover all these treasures in her family until I spent the morning there. It was so lovely.

She and her husband Chris share a beautiful dynamic and it was such a joy to create this family film for them. My goal was to capture the feelings and emotions of this time in their life so that they will forever hold these memories for themselves, but also for their girls when they grow up. To preserve these tiny details is so important and somehow they don’t quite get recorded in the same way when it’s just photos.

Enjoy the film!

Creative Couple Session – Winnipeg Video and Photography

I’ve been working on a creative video project for my photography business this summer and in the past few weeks we’ve finally started shooting for it. After many planning meetings and audio recording sessions, it’s so exciting to finally be in the shooting phase!

My amazing videographer Jeff of JAG Video Productions has been fantastic to work with and we are so excited to bring these ideas to life. Through the shooting process I’ve also been having fun taking photos, especially this past week. While looking for a location, I found one which instantly caught my eye because of its super interesting architecture and lines. I love modern architecture, especially when it’s right in the middle of a natural woodsy landscape, so using this location was a no-brainer.

A big thank you to Danielle & Joël of MÛR for modelling and to my husband for assisting on this shoot. We couldn’t have done it without them! Here’s a peek at some of the photos I took while Jeff was taking video:
