Family Lifestyle: The Bensons

This film features the Benson family: Taylor, Teigan, Beckham, and Logan.  A few words from the family:  

"Now we have these funny things he [Beck] says documented."  

"The kids watch it every day.  They really do."  

"Can I watch my movie?"  

"Beck laughs at himself and thinks he is so funny and now quotes himself."  

"This is something we will treasure."  

"It's a little glimpse of what we do everyday."  

"The scenes of Teigan and Logan in his room before nap time just captures exactly how it really is."  

I really love these lifestyle videos.  I also love the Bensons.  You probably will to after watching this! Needless to say, this was a fun project for me.  I've included a few words on this idea of lifestyle and interview videos:

LifeStyle

Preserve this moment in your families' life with a customized video that chronicles the activities of a normal day in your home. The video will showcase each family member's interests and create a "moving color memory" of your life. Let me help you create a family keepsake or unique and personal gifts for family members. Post online for a fun way to share a glimpse of simple, everyday happenings with your friends and family, or even create DVDs to give as gifts.

Interview

"What's the silliest thing your have ever done?" Do you know how your children would answer? How about grandma or Uncle Joe? Video interviews are a terrific way to capture memories and individual personalities of family members. They allow great-grandpa's wisdom to benefit family members for generations to come. Professional sound recording and editing, combined with your favorite music creates a gift families will treasure.

The first is a more condensed and precise version of a few favorite family activites, candid moments, and 4-year-old Beck's musings and interview answers.

Kelsey & John Michael

Granted I've not spent much time in Brownfield, TX, but I would have never imagined it had such a beautiful wedding venue as the one where Kelsey and John Michael were hitched.  This lovely couple, tons of family and friends, natural outdoor beauty, perfect handmade decorations, no rain and all shine made for a beautiful night.  I don't think I've met a more gracious couple than Kelsey and John Michael.  Here is a recap of their night:

Ryan Marie & Tom's Wedding Day

It is always fun for me to be so involved in one of my close friend's weddings.  I get to see it all.  My camera becomes my VIP pass to everything going on during the day, letting me experience their wedding on a whole new level.

If you watch this video, you'll notice Ryan's glitter high heels with the words "I DO" written underneath.  You will also notice the natural, rustic, simple beauty of their outdoor winery setting and in details of wedding decor.  While Ryan was getting ready to walk down that aisle and marry her sweetheart, she asked me if I'd seen her shoes and what I thought.

"They're great! They are so you."
"I know... As I was planning the wedding I noticed these differences... There is this one side of me that loves the rustic outdoorsy things in life, but... I also just love glitter."

The talented make-up and hair artists of Jordan Winn & Co. commented "So, you're a sparkly hippy!"

I felt this exchanged summarizes the ambiance of Ryan & Tom's wedding really well.

These two lovely people had a perfect start to their marriage.  Congrats, friends.

My baby is One

Mariah Evanson Photography, Lubbock, Tx

I made this little video so that we will remember what it was like with our sweet little one year old Liam.  He happened to be teething the week I filmed him, and was a little more grumpy than usual, but I still feel it's a fair representation of our day-today.  I love to do these kind of projects, and hope it is something he will enjoy having when he is older.... He sure enjoys watching it now!

Birthday Video Gift

Birthdays are fun... especially when a bunch of your family and friends pitch in to make a special suprise video for the birthday girl.  This is a compilation of photo and video (some even from her 18th birthday) to wish Teigan a happy happy birthday.
