I have been blessed to capture another CSIFF (Chicago Southland International Film Festival) Premiere Event. This event and capture was very special.

"Medaase (Thank You): A Ghana Public Health Brigade Story" is a documentary film filmed by Tiyen Simmons and Megan Smith that follows GovState (Governors State University) students, staff, and professors on a health and service brigade trip to Ghana. Students, staff, and professors traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to assist Ghanaian residents, particularly in the Ekumpoano region, in building biodigester units, enabling residents to access indoor toilets for the first time. Because of the lack of running water and sanitation knowledge in the region, GovState brigadiers, along with other health brigade participants, also taught Ekumpoano residents proper hygiene and health standards. The journey then became reflective as the health and service brigade visited historic Ghanaian landmarks integral to the African diaspora.

While one of the main goals of this festival was to raise money for the brigade's future service and learning opportunities, Medaase was a testimony on the impact that this health and service brigade has not just to the GovState community, but to the world.

Another CSIFF Student Showcase is in the books. Happy and privileged to capture the moments and events of this student showcase for Governors State University.

We have a lot of talented student filmmakers who, after rigorous planning, production, filming, and ex*****on, showcased their film works to the GovState and Southland Chicagoland communities. It takes a lot, but one thing is for sure: the work that our students perform doesn't go unnoticed. It only gets better from here.

"If I don't try, I've already failed. Striving to improve myself, working hard to excel".

Fantastic job, student filmmakers.

From weddings to pastoral celebrations, baby showers, and prom send-offs, I've been blessed to capture these precious moments. Often, as photographers and videographers, we tend to capture these events and move on to the next venture. However, when we are called to capture, the calling becomes transformative. We strive to provide our clients with that moment in time.

Yes, we know nowadays, you can capture moments on your cellular phone, and AI is preserving these events by way of artificial intelligence, but the eye of the photographer/videographer is still strong enough to discern the level of the moment; to know that it's not just capturing but preserving the moment to remember.

The captures below, first and foremost, are an honor and a glory to God for the gifts HE has blessed me with, to capture these precious moments. Furthermore, these moments are visuals of what we can do for you.

We know and acknowledge that we aren't the only visual and media company in the surrounding communities. Still, we aim to serve and dedicate our time to creating stunning images that capture your precious memories.
