Professionally I am passionate about designing video, stylized photo shoots, and marketing materials to tell a compelling story. Since 2011 my production company, Moving Pictures, has worked with UsFarmGuys.com, KnowACaliforniaFarmer.com, UtahDairyCouncil.com, Snow College, and WendyVonsosen.com to help them tell their stories. For example, working with UsFarGuys.com, a nationally recognized agriculture blog, I helped promote a fundamental change in approach to marketing traditional agriculture. By producing short evocative video stories of small farmers, and using them in new forms of media, individual farmers are able to connect directly with their consumers.

Some clients prefer a formal setting using studio lighting, and others like natural light on location, and I am fortunate to have experience with both.

My motivation in applying for this position is three-fold. First, this position will allow me to combine my beauty industry background, with photography and video to help women recognize and appreciate their true potential. The catalyst for earning a cosmetology license in 2003 was an artistic streak, put to practical application helping women feel
Third- As a self motivated and fast learner the opportunity to continue broadening my skills and education is appealing. What could be more motivating than this?
While there I improved my photography skills by assisting with photo shoots, including lighting, location and postproduction work. Since then I have invested much time and many resources learning more about the technical aspects of photo, video and design through professional seminars.
beautiful. I soon realized that photography and cosmetology were a perfect complement to each other. I sought out an international award winning photographer-Pepper Nix-and persuaded her to hire me as an intern.
The second motivating factor is the ability to fully utilize my marketing education in new ways. Having taken relevant marketing courses from Sarah Petty, the Intermountain Photographers Association, Creative Live, and Sandy Puc´ I understand the basic principles necessary to help promote the Live Your Truth/Dressing Your Truth philosophy.
