Kim and Chris – Kansas City Wedding Film – Sneak Peek

We are wrapping this year up with some amazing weddings! Kim and Chris’ wedding was so beautiful and I was so honored to be asked to come back to film for this family. I filmed Kim’s sisters wedding a few years ago and it was so great to see them all again! This was a beautiful day and Kim and Chris took advantage of everything Kansas City has to offer. The ceremony at Redemptorist Church was stunning and the reception at Bartle Hall was just amazing. I loved the view looking out over the new Kauffman Center. This is just a tiny taste of what is to come in their short film – It is going to be hard to wait on this one!

Cade – Birth Film

This was maybe the most amazing and beautiful thing I have had the honor to film, a birth. I have only been present for my own births of my two babies and honestly, they were a little bit tricky, so this was particularly amazing as it was the first birth I have really ever witnessed. Cade’s daddy was in Afghanistan fighting the war on the day he was born, but was able to be there via skype and phone. You will hear his voice throughout the film and see the little camera on the tripod facing Elizabeth. They chose to birth this baby at home in water, and the amount of support Elizabeth had that day was simply beautiful. There are really few words that can be said for this story, you really just have to watch. Congratulations Elizabeth and Jeremy, and welcome home.

Annie and Dwayne – Wedding Film, Excelsior Springs, MO

Annie and Dwayne got married on the most beautiful fall day at the historic Elms Hotel Chapel in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. This is a special place to them and it was a pleasure to get to film here before they go through a MAJOR renovation. They had so many personal details and little spots of beauty that I just had a BLAST capturing all of it. Annie’s son was adorable and watching this new family celebrate was such a joy. I can’t wait to create your short film!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Girls on the Run – a very special promo video

So as many of you know, I do a lot of video work for my kids’ school free of charge. I do this for several reasons, I feel good about doing it for them, get to practice some fun techniques (like stop motion parking lot demonstrations) and give back to the school that is doing such a great job with my kiddos. In addition I do a big project for a non-profit every couple years. This year was really special as I was highly motivated after last years’ POSH, a retreat for women filmmakers, to do something that REALLY speaks to me. It didn’t take long to figure out what I wanted to do. My daughter has participated in a group called Girls on the Run for two seasons and has loved every minute of it. I HAD to do a film for them. This organization has an amazing curriculum helping the girls develop a positive self image, strong values, and strong bodies. They train for a 5K race at the end of their 10 week session and learn some amazing life lessons and practice these new strengths on the way. So here is my “it”. Congratulations to all the Girls on the Run, and thank you to the girls, coaches and families at Roesland and Prairie Elementary for their time, effort, words and sweat. Lace up those shoes and I’ll see you on our next run!
