Video production isn’t my primary focus—but it’s been a deep creative passion of mine for nearly 20 years. From music videos and short films to behind-the-scenes content, I bring a creative eye, a team-first mindset, and a whole lot of heart. Whether I’m working as Director of Photography, camera operator, or just helping hold things together on set, I love bringing visual ideas to life through thoughtful collaboration and artistic execution.
With years of project management and leadership experience, I don’t just show up—I keep things moving. As an entrepreneur and creative multi-hyphenate, I’m reliable, solution-focused, and unapologetically good at getting sh*t done. You can trust me to show up prepared, ready to adapt, and committed to making the production process as smooth as possible.
Note: I do not offer full wedding videography. However, I often capture casual, social-media-quality footage alongside my wedding photography coverage.
My role in your project:
Production support:
- Production Assistant: Logistics guru, cast wrangler, schedule keeper, and snack enforcer. I’ve got your back so the shoot runs smoothly.
- Director of Photography: I help bring the director’s vision to life through camera work, lighting, and creative input.
- Camera Operator / 1st AC: Skilled with focus pulling, basic camera maintenance, and on-set adjustments.
- Editing: I edit in Premiere Pro with attention to pacing, music, basic transitions, and colour correction. I also dabble in After Effects for light graphics or effects.
Creative add-ons
- Hair, Makeup & SFX: Experience in theatrical makeup, basic wounds/blood/special FX, light airbrushing.
- Costuming & Wardrobe: 15+ years of cosplay & theatre costuming. I can sew, style, and coordinate wardrobe based on character, era, or mood.
- Behind-the-Scenes Coverage: I naturally document as I work—perfect for sharing rehearsals, on-set action, or lighting tests for future promo content.
safety first
I’m First Aid Certified (OFA Level 2) and always advocate for a respectful, safety-conscious environment on set.
Behind the Scenes Photography
Behind every creative project is a story worth documenting—and that’s where I come in. I have a deep love for capturing the candid, in-between moments: the prep, the teamwork, the laughs, the chaos, and the quiet focus that brings a vision to life. BTS photography is often overlooked, but it’s such a valuable way to preserve the energy of a production. Whether it's for sharing, promoting, or simply remembering the journey—you can count on me to capture the real magic behind the scenes.
The Covid Film Challenge
During lockdown, I joined the Ottawa Film Makers group in a weekly video challenge. The goal? Make a 1–5 minute short film using a set theme each week. With limited time and resources, I conceptualized, wrote, shot, and edited each piece myself. These videos became not only technical exercises, but creative therapy—tackling tough topics like PTSD, domestic abuse (for men), grief, and body image. I even stepped in front of the camera, challenging myself to grow in new ways.
