Photography / Video Production

Specializing in creating photo and video stories that promote, educate, inspire, engage and motivate people to action, my approach is to really listen to my clients needs, and both “see” and “hear” the image(s) and message(s) that will stand alone or be combined into a story or educational video. Together we decide whether photography, video or a combination is the best visual communication tool and then proceed to create a storyline, photos and/or video to tell this story or educational tool.

Because of my own long-term health journey and background, I have been in a wide range of global, community, home, healthcare and healing settings. I find that in these often sensitive settings, I move delicately through the space to create a variety of authentic images that have emotional impact and power. I bring cultural awareness, health/wellness industry knowledge and innate sensitivity to creating a sense of trust and openness for my subjects.

When videotaping, which is often a new experience for clients, I dedicate time to prepare everyone, provide coaching along the way, and be patient and affirming to allow each individuals unique message to be communicated powerfully and authentically. We also create a plan that outlines the pre-production, production and post-production steps of the project.

Having many years experience as a consultant, coach and business owner helping 1000’s of people achieve their desired goals and next stage of learning and growth, I bring a unique skill set to educate and guide clients to their own next stage of growth, as well as crafting the key message(s), telling the most important story and making sure that all of the creative technology helps us to accomplish the desired end result. I bring creativity, vision and service oriented approach to deliver an exceptional experience and outcome for my clients.

I believe health includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects, and that it can be applied individually and collectively. I see through a lens of wholeness and interrelatedness with ourselves, each other and all of Creation. I recognize the individual, collective and ancestral trauma that exists and that has shaped societal systems and led to gross inequalities, oppression and division. I am committed to healing, and moving towards unity. I honor and celebrate diversity in all it’s forms.
