I recently added the full photo gallery and video of the Quaint Escape in Meredith, NH to my website with a link to book with Brittany & Chase!

If you or anyone you know offer vacation rentals, let's put together content to boost your listings!

The Quaint Escape | Meredith, New Hampshire The Quaint Escape is a brand new 2024 custom build located nearby Lake Winnipesaukee. I had the opportunity to take all the photos for this listing as well as put together a video to really show off the space. We stayed for 2 nights and didn’t want to le...

You might often see me posting about developing "looks" for footage. The first image you see below is what comes directly out of camera: washed out, colorless - this sets the base for what is to come.

The second image is transformed into a more usable color space, this looks more "normal" to view on computer screens, phones, etc.

The final image is the look I've developed for this particular interview: vibrant, sharper, color corrected and graded. There will likely be small tweaks before any video is finalized for a more cohesive look but this is typically the first step in my process, even before laying out the timeline.

Thanks John Taylor for taking a few moments to talk with me about what Haulin' 4 Hunger means to you!

Perfect weather for some "last of the foliage" family shoots this past weekend. I'm ready for snow.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit a soon-to-be Airbnb rental in central New Hampshire to shoot both video and photo for the listing. Such a beautiful spot, looking forward to going back once the snow flies!

When your little brother interrupts your portrait session...

Putting your work, both personal and professional, in the hands of social media platforms is one of my biggest stressors. Short rant.

It is one of the hardest things to work on a project, put in countless hours of traveling, filming, and post-production work (not to mention discovery calls, emails, pitch decks, etc.) to release it into the wild to what can be described only as crickets...

There are people who will tell you "don't look at the numbers" but it is hard not to. It's not just about likes, it's about these platforms not even allowing your content to get into the right hands (eyes?) of your target audience. Why? Because you didn't post at the "right time?" You didn't use "trending audio" and hook to catch the 3 second attention span doom scrollers?

It is a difficult path to be the all-in-one for my business, while the creative may flourish the marketing may fall.

It is also about those who put eyes on your work but never interact, to be that is most frustrating; "ghost followers" as they can be called. This is another thing these mega platforms will take into consideration when pushing your work further or not, ultimately the latter.

"Forget the algorithm, just continue to post and you'll reach your audience."

A lot of people spewing these phrases are those who aren't in the same position as you. It can be one of the hardest things as a creator, to put work out you care so much about to then feel like you're not good enough because you don't get the feedback, good or bad, you may be looking for.

I'm a solo creator, trying to continue the passion I developed before I was a teenager, diving head first into freelancing 6 years ago, creating work that I love and care about, and never looking back.

End rant.
