It all started when my dog ran all the way down the street and met another 4 legged friend who looked just like him. I approached the other dog’s owner to apologize and got to talking. Rik told me he was a videographer in the area, so we immediately made a connection after he found out that I was photographer who owned a 5D Mark II with video capabilities. He was immediately excited about working together in the future. It was after a few projects, when this “promo” video idea came up. At first, I was really hesitant to do anything like it…its like I am pretty much putting myself on the web. I was even more hesitant when he said we should do an interview. I was like..ummn NO, thanks. I tried to explain that I have this Colombian accent,, that I make funny faces, that sometimes I open my eyes way to wide when I am trying to emphasize a point. Well, apparently, that’s very animated. So, I give in… and decide to have fun with it too!

Rik is the president of Encore, a Video company here in our beautiful Myrtle Beach. I put my complete trust in the work he was about to do. Along with him, his son Graham; who by the way, has an amazing eye. We put a plan together and voila! Of course, nothing could have been done without my beautiful models! Big thanks to Pasha who took these behind the scenes photos.

When we finished all of our “action” scenes, we moved to the studio. Lord, this was the hardest thing to do. Honestly having cameras, lights EVERYWHERE,  and opening my heart to a bunch of people made me nervous, proud, scared, happy and every other feeling out there!

Can’t forget to give my dear friend Mark Gladden a huge THANK YOU for making this amazing arrangement for this video! Your work is simply amazing!

Stay tunned…the video is coming very very soon! Comments are always encouraged! Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Love,
