Working with Foley has taken me from the vineyards of Napa to the agave fields of Mexico, glacial rivers in New Zealand, and even the cowboy capital of America: Stephenville, TX.

We’ve crafted broadcast spots and cinematic brand pieces that tell the story behind every bottle. I’ve filmed while riding ATVs behind cowboys, walked grain fields that become Highground Vodka, and trekked deep into the Awatere Valley chasing light through vineyards and riverbeds. It’s been about capturing the spirit behind the spirits, bringing Foley’s bold, global vision to life one frame at a time.

This one was a vibe! Loved crafting that warm, cozy sunlight — nothing like chasing golden hour indoors. We brought in the Fisher dolly for some buttery push-ins. The whole shoot was chill... probably because we were all sipping tea between takes. Had fun building a little chaos into the story before landing in that mellow, grounded calm.

Not gonna lie, I kinda freaked out when I got the call to shoot Aubrey Plaza for Bumble. I mean, she’s the best. And turns out, she’s even more fun in person. I spent the day following her around while she riffed hilarious answers to Bumble’s questions.

From chatting witchcraft to hanging with farm animals to climbing trees like a pro, she fully went for it. Dream shoot.

I was more than excited when Clover Sonoma’s agency, Guru, asked me to film these documentary-style stories. Got to hang with some seriously beautiful cows and the farmers who care for them like family. From tromping through mud to lying in the grass with my lens pointed skyward, while curious cows checked me out.

We captured big skies, green hills, and honest moments with the people behind the milk. Telling their stories, surrounded by those gorgeous farm views, reminded me why I love this work.

I’ve been working with Joel Gott since 2010. He’s smart, driven, funny, and totally friends with the camera. Shoots with Joel are always a good time, and they bring out the best in me creatively. He inspires that.

When we work together, I get to make fast, intuitive choices and roll with his energy. It’s a great flow. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that his wines are amazing.

Filmed one of Trader Joe’s most popular recipes on YouTube: their potsticker soup. It’s a simple, satisfying video that’s now racked up over 12 million views (and counting). It’s proof that good lighting, clean visuals, and a great recipe go a long way.

Also shot their Thanksgiving turkey video and more tasty content for the channel. Easygoing shoots, solid food, big audience, and a ton of fun.
