Are Your Pets on YouTube?

When Wayne bought me my new digital camera last Christmas, I knew it spelled trouble for Murphy, Mr. Meow and Tabby.

Do You Need A Wedding Videographer?

People are rolling on the ground cracking up and you’re left wondering what you missed. I feel the same way about looking at still pictures of people doubled over in the midst of a laughing fit. I’m always left wondering what was so darn funny. In my opinion, nothing captures the true experience of being at an event than having life-like moving images… and audio. These are elements that still photography simply can’t match. For instance, … Continue reading →

Surf Memories To Last A Lifetime

When I was in college word got around fast that I was from Hawaii. (Probably because I was attending school in Wisconsin.) Looking back it made total sense. After all: Michele + Winter Break = Free Place To Stay In Hawaii.

My college pals weren’t the only ones trying to document their attempts at riding Hawaii’s waves. In most cases I was the designated photographer and often bumped into other friends and family members trying … Continue reading →
