If there’s something I want to do more often, it’s to care less about my videos. Last year, I only posted ONE video because everything had to be perfect. The song choice, the timing of the audio with each beat to the song, ALL THAT TEDIOUS STUFF THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT. So today I sat down for two hours and put together this random compilation of clips as a way to force myself to finish a video. It’s not perfect, it’s not edited with the best transitions or even the best color grading. But it’s a reminder that I love these videos so much because I get to relive these moments, and if my footage never sees the light of day, then I don’t get to laugh and smile at all these little memories. So here’s something I threw together tonight, hopefully there will be a longer, more thought out video, but for now I love this so dang much.

Here's a video recap of my recent trip to Northern California: Lake Tahoe and San Francisco! Follow my Instagram @cearakirk for more!

A video I created for the Beta Launch of Kolu, a start-up app that connects local guides to tourists for personalized introductions and tours of cities. All shots are filmed by myself using a drone and my DSLR. All content is created and edited by myself.

In this video I show you exactly what camera settings I use when I shoot portrait photography! I go over how to choose your aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and more! Manual mode can be super overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, it will drastically improve the look and quality of your photos.
