About Me

Learn about my story and the mission and values behind my work.

My Story

I have had a love and passion for filmmaking ever since I got ahold of my parent’s VHS camcorder back in middle school. I never would have dreamed that I would go from jumping off ladders onto exercise balls to shooting weddings, documentaries, and brand films. In 2014 I began fulltime ministry as a student pastor, while doing video projects on the side. Nearly 8 years later, I officially resigned my position at the church and decided to focus more attention on my family and going fulltime with Ziva. It has already opened up so many doors of opportunity, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me!  Here's to the journey...and wherever it leads next.

My Mission

Guided by my Christian faith, I strive to create visually compelling and authentic films that inspire, encourage, and uplift individuals, couples, and communities.

My Passions

Faith

Jesus and His Word define my life and gives me purpose. My identity is not found in Ziva, people’s opinions, or material things, but in what Jesus says about me!

Family

I am blessed with two amazing kids, Ezekiel and Iva. They are 17 months apart, and as much as I love being behind the camera, I love being with them even more! They are the inspiration behind “Ziva.”

Fitness

Working out, playing sports, taking on physical challenges (Spartan race, anyone?)—being active and physically fit is a priority for me! We won’t talk about the number of surgeries I’ve had as a result…

(Free) Travel

Experiencing different cities, countries, and cultures has made a big impact on my life. I have become skilled in “travel hacking” over the years and have gone on numerous trips practically for free (email me for info!).

My Values

  • Creativity: I use my imagination to produce unique and engaging videos.

  • Collaboration: I value teamwork and work closely with clients to ensure the best possible work.

  • Quality: I maintain high standards in every project and video that I produce.

  • Innovation: I am always evolving, looking for new and innovative ways to tell stories.

  • Transparency: I communicate openly throughout the entire production process.

  • Responsiveness: I deliver high-quality videos on time and more importantly, on budget.

  • Service: I recognize videography as a means of serving others, whether it's capturing special moments, documenting events, or creating content that ministers to and encourages individuals and communities.

My Clients

  • Wedding Couples: Ultimately, the most fulfilling wedding clients are those who appreciate and value my work, trust my skills and professional judgment, are invested in the process, and allow their genuine love story to be captured on their special day.

  • Business Partners: Each business is unique, but the ideal business partner is one that trusts my expertise, recognizes the value of video in engaging their target audience, communicates clearly and provides timely feedback throughout the production process, and one whose missions, products, or services align with my own beliefs and principles.

  • Event Managers/Video Subjects: I ask that you be efficient in planning and coordinating events, have clear communication, provide necessities to ensure a smooth workflow, and allow appropriate space and time – all of which will help ensure a smooth and well-executed videography process.
