I am a second generation videographer. My dad went to film school in the 80s, shot on film and edited with scissors and tape. None of which I have done (though shooting on film would be cool.)
But I grew up with a camera, telling stories and stirring emotions through engaging videos and animation. I earned my BA in communications from Thomas Edison State College the same day I graduated high school. This is also when I started my own videography company and directed, shot, and edited my first feature length documentary.
I was able to interview New York Times best selling authors, a Russian billionaire, an advisor to the EU, and many other influential thought leaders.
I love working with non profits because they are the stories of real people, real impact, and real life. I believe video can communicate these stories in ways which inspire viewers to action, and that is my mission.

This is the first time I ever picked up a video camera and filmed something.

Filming around the world (in this case Copenhagen, Denmark.)
Filming a short form documentary. It reached nearly 100K views in its first month online.
More recent kit. Conducting an interview with a non profit client.
I am a ballet dancer turned graphic designer/brand strategist. My passion for creativity and art began as a three year old taking my first ballet lesson.
Fast forward a couple of decades and my career saw me training and dancing around the nation and even internationally from Cincinnati, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Jackson, MI to Copenhagen, Denmark!
When I hear music, I see movement. Dance is such a beautiful and powerful way of expressing human emotion and storytelling and it is one of my greatest loves.
After retiring from the stage, I immediately plunged into brand development, graphic design, and social media management. My work in the graphic arts is inspired by the movement and storytelling I learned from the performing arts.
One of my earliest ballet recitals.
Training at the Royal Danish Ballet's summer dance intensive in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I was a trainee with Cincinnati Ballet for two years.
I finished my stage career with a local ballet company as a company artist.
Forever thankful for the amazing gift of dance, the places it took me, and the person it made me.
Though still quite active, there's something special about writing out a brand strategy in a café with a delicious latté.
We grew up together as kids. Lived 1.9 miles away from each other, went to the same church and homeschool group, and basically knew more about each other when we started dating than a lot of couples know when they get engaged.
Two years after getting married, Caleb went full time with his video production business and Hannah was full time in pre-professional ballet training.
We traveled the country and world together pursuing dance and film, always the other's biggest cheerleader and constructive coach. We collaborated on several dance video projects and discovered that not only do we love each other romantically, but we love working together professionally.
After Hannah's retirement from the stage, we plunged head long into professional design and support for non-profits as a couple. We love the mission/value focus of non-profits and the opportunity of life changing storytelling.

Married, November 2017!
Our first professional collab. Caleb filmed a movie version of the dance show Hannah's studio produced and it played in a local theater.
Every once in a while , you will find us both behind a camera.
On set with our first full rebrand non-profit client as a couple.
Ready to serve you together!
