What we need to talk about before we make a video!

A brief intro to what we need to talk about pre video shoot.

Why Dayna of Stella Haus Films is THE BEST

My incredible web design guru is gonna use me to make a branding video for his website and take his new headshot. Have I told you how amazing he is? He just made my new site from scratch and is some knowledgeable about all things. I just hope he will always do my website.

WANNA GET HEALTHY FOOD FAST? | The Good Kind

So I'm gonna come right out and say it. I'm biased. I love The Good Kind. I love the owner and I've known her for years casually. I've eaten her food at parties and always loved it. I Love her aesthetic. I like her business model, she's a strong woman and I love that. She kept her last name when she got married just like me and I love that.  If I was a chef I'd want to be just like her. Tim the Girl (Tim McDiarmid) is awesome.  So this is a rave review of The Good Kind cause guess what? THe food is flipping phenomenal and so is she. Its open 7am-9pm at The Historic Pearl in The Bottling Department.

Tim The Girl and Ed tied the knot.

It is with great pleasure that I can premiere the short film of Tim The Girl and Edward Xavier Diaz. These are two of San Antonio's hottest movers and shakers. I love LOVE.

Video Marketing for your Business

I made an informative video with Yusuf Chowdery of Online Business Owners. We talked about using video to help your business and some strategies to make it work for you.

It's amazing to be asked to do something fun!  Thanks to Tina Humphry of Badges and Bouquets and Diamonds and Dreams Event Consultants for asking me to do this. A few weeks ago there was this incredible bridal fair at the JW. Marriot Hotel and Spa in San Antonio, Texas. Tina produced and amazing bridal fashion show and then we did a Mannequin Challenge, my first ever. There were a few challenges that I wasn't prepared for and I discuss them in the video below the main one.
