My Endeavours over the last Month

I have a confession to make, this past month I’ve been keeping a bit of a secret!  And I’m going to let you in on it or rather – show you!  Last year I came across the world of Video Storytelling and found the very talented Emily of Everyday Films.  Once I saw that she graciously teaches others the art of video, I knew I had to sign up.  And so I waited patiently (or not so patiently!) and signed up for her class earlier this winter.

It was awesome! It was a lot of work and I’m still working through reading- re-reading and watching some of the tutorials but I have learned a ton.  I have a long ways to go yet in learning more about video but I know basics – like how to use my camera for video, how to edit and put together a video!  It was  a lot of fun!

When I was younger my parents owned a video camera — I guess we were a pretty high-tech family for that time because I didn’t know any other family with a video camera at that time 🙂 .  And my dad would carry this huge contraption on his shoulder (something like the size of a toaster- just a bit skinnier!) and he would record us at family gatherings, our birthday parties and just our regular every day.  And I loved it- I love being able to see that play back of what we did that day.  Now its been a number of years since I’ve seen any of those videos but I know it would be awesome to see and hear what we were like at that time in our lives!

And that’s what drew me to the art of video story-telling.  Still frames are of course my first passion and I love freezing time and capturing that exact moment, but there is something magical about capturing a  video.  And to see it all come together at the end was the best part!

So introducing my first ever 3 minute film!!  It’s not perfect, but nothing in life is.  But its my life and these are my lovies.  This is my family.

✨👀 Watch Me Edit 👀✨

As I was shooting this gorgeous maternity session last fall, a couple of walkers passed us by in the background and yelled, “I hope we don’t photobomb you!” I knew that they would and rather than pausing, I kept on shooting.

@lightroom is simply the bomb and I literally use it for about 99% of my editing. Their AI generative feature is killer! I have used it SO MUCH since it’s been released. It helps me get rid of fly away hairs, mosquito bites, photobombers and so much more. This is one feature I’ve been again and again thankful for!

Here’s a quick fun video of me editing out those nature walkers! It’s just a basic AI fix bit still shows the power of the tool!
