Videography Samples

Videography is one of my biggest passions and I would love the experience of helping on larger productions with you however I can! I have been doing video for about 4 years with the last 2 years being full-time doing a combination of videography freelancing plus small business and coach/influencer marketing.

I have been the director of the Live at The Hive concert series for the last 4 years. We stream 2+ bands every Saturday night. My responsibilities include the live switching for the feed, setting up/framing the static cameras, and directing our crew for set start and stops, interviews, and calling needed shots for the feed. The Boise Hive is my favorite local non-profit for providing free mental health care and a myriad of resources to musicians and creatives. My work with them is all volunteer.

Branding and Story Video Examples

This is a brand story for a company called Grace and Kind.

This is one of a few videos a made for a man who ran for city council along with branding and headshots.

I did headshots and a short ad for Jon who is currently running for State Legislator

Event and B-Roll Examples

I created the official 2022 Sawtooth Valley Gathering recap promo video. The drone shots are not mine but i am a drone pilot currently working on getting my certification.

I worked with Fishdawg Productions on a two week production of Clickfunnels Live Stream Sessions running a C200 camera during the stream. It was intense 10+ hour days but I really enjoyed it.

I got my videography start doing a lot of EDM event recap videos and I appreciate the experience of it.

Music Video Examples

A spooky horror themed music video

Fun summertime vibes! Makes me wish I was back by the pool and not in the snow

A compilation video of the tour i joined on as their media team. It was just released Friday and includes a lot of B-roll of our adventures.

Photography Examples

I got my start doing a lot of event photography. I have covered corporate seminars, conferences, music festivals, rallies and protests, current events, and creative events. I do photography for Radio Boise events regularly. For my published work I have been focusing on the creative field though so I don’t have a place where I have event photography posted at the moment.

I have been enjoying getting more into headshots, branding shoots, and BTS for large productions and that is where I see my professional photography going.

This last year I focused on the music scene and it was a great learning experience. Between The Hive, Sawtooth Valley Gathering, Treefort, Flipside, a California tour with the band Bet on Red, and many local shows I did photography or video for over 100 bands.

You can find my best examples on my creative photography Instagram. My most recent posts were videos but if you scroll down I have a mini portfolio towards the bottom. https://www.instagram.com/sheepdogphotography208/

Radio Experience

I currently co-host a talk radio show on Radio Boise called Elementary Watson. It is a show dedicated to helping listeners their best lives. I started in more of a producer role as the host is a marketing client of mine but was asked to join on a weekly basis and I have been loving it! I have been trained on running the soundboard at Radio Boise and procedures as well.

Once a month she does a feature on a local non-profit and I think you would enjoy those with all your non-profit work as well!
