I'm the owner and creator of Willow Film and when I'm not behind the camera, I'm probably watching Netflix with my dogs (Morty & Coco), playing with my baby girl (June), enjoying a glass of wine on the patio, or dreaming up our next vacation. As cliché as it sounds, I truly did grow Willow Film from a  lifelong hobby - I was the friend when you were a kid who made you put on ridiculous wigs and play along for the camera to even more ridiculous story lines. Thankfully, I find non-fiction to be a better medium for my films these days.

​

I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweetheart, Conner, who's the absolute best and was the ultimate supporter when I wanted to start Willow Film! (Sometimes I even let him fly the drone) You may be surprised to hear we didn't hire a Videographer for our own wedding. Today, I'll tell anyone who'll listen not to skimp on photo and video for your big day. But back then, I was so naïve I thought I could film my wedding myself. HA. I cringe thinking about it now - the stress level alone!

​

Long story short, I had tripods set up to save money, an accident happened - my newest most expensive camera was knocked over and yep....totally broke with no footage to show for it. A measure I took to save money actually ended up costing me.

​

If I could go back, I'd spend the extra money in a heartbeat. Learn from our cheap ways and splurge a bit - it's worth it.
