The truth is that I am struggling, and struggling means that I haven’t been consistent about making content for my own Instagram.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the work and every day life things and then feel too tired or overwhelmed to make content for social media.
But the good news is that I have the tools and skills to make my own life easier. I know that planning my videos is key. I know that batching ensures I don’t need to film something every day. I know that hiring someone to help my with a weekly plan so I can focus on executing it is something that works for me. I know that sometimes I just need to be spontaneous and make the video with wet hair right out of the shower because that’s when my adhd brain has the capacity to do it.
I also know that I can help you. If you are a small business owner struggling to stay on top of your content, reach out to me! I want to work with you to reduce the amount of time you are filming and editing your content for social media.

We spent our Sunday afternoon at @carlitos.gamecafe trying out some new games and having a cup of tea.
Friendly atmosphere, fun games, and a great way to spend an afternoon!

Look. I don’t always follow my own advice. Here I am telling you to batch your video content to save time and reduce stress, but every scheduled posting day I am rushing to make my own content.
Do as I say, not as I do! Or hire me to help you stick to the plan and batch all your videos for the month.

Every videographer’s worst nightmare. It always seem to happen during a key moment you won’t be able to recapture!
So how do we deal with this? Step one is to be prepared:
Always. Buy. Extra. Batteries.
I promise you, one single battery that ships with your camera is not going to be enough. And make sure your extra batteries are from a reputable company. Cheap knock-offs on Amazon never last long.
Bring extra chargers, cables, and battery packs!
If you forgot the above, find all the battery reducing measures you can: low power mode, reduce screen brightness, turn off unnecessary features… and only record what it is ABSOLUTELY necessary!
I once had to swap batteries in the middle of a wedding ceremony. A little planning ahead would have ensured I had enough juice to get through a full hour. When in doubt, pop in a fresh battery!
Have you ever missed a shot due to a low battery?

What makes an epic sports video? Getting the epic shots yes, but also telling the human stories and looking for the human moments.
It takes a lot of practice to shoot sports. You usually need multiple cameras, high technical expertise, a good knowledge of the sport, and the ability to think and act quickly. But it also takes story telling.
An epic sports video includes capturing the quiet moments, the emotional moments, the moments that really put you in the athletes shoes.
I have been telling sports stories since I was in broadcasting school! That’s almost a decade of experience looking for the story within the game, and every time I do another sports shoot I learn something new and appreciate athletes and their stories just a little bit more.
DM today to talk about shooting your game or match!

🎥 Every videographer loves new gear. Its just a fact! I have a wishlist of new gear as long as my arm. 💪
Of course, gear won’t make or break your shoot. Using what you have and learning foundational video skills is the most important. But new gear CAN make it easier, and certainly a lot more fun!
Did you know that you can hire me to consult on your production set up? Whether you’re making videos with your phone or looking to upgrade your video kit to make videos for your small business, I can help you get the most out of what you have AND help you decide where to priorize spending money to upgrade!

I absolutely live for capturing live dance and theatre performances!

Reel talk.
If you’re a small business, making social media videos can be exhausting. I make videos for a living and I don’t even want to make my own reels or tiktok videos.
Thankfully, you have a ton of options for the kinds of videos you can make. And theres nothing wrong with getting a little help!
Full disclosure, even I get help with reels! I have the tools and technical know-how to shoot my own, but someone helps me come up with the content! We all need a little help in our business sometimes!
You can hire a videographer like me to help plan and execute your productions, or batch your content so you are lots of videos ready to go for the whole month!
I’d love to know what your favourite and least favourite kind of reels to make are! Let me know in the comments!

I always triple check my gear list, and then inevitably forget my lunch!
That’s why I keep emergency work snacks in the car, and a granola bar in my camera bag!
What are you most likely to forget on your video shoots?

This was the last sports event I shot in Ottawa, and it was an absolute blast!
Sports videography is high energy, and great for memories and/or training purposes.
At this amateur boxing night, I had the pleasure of filming for people who were having their very first bout, and wanted to remember it forever!
