Once upon a time there was a little girl and she loved to play and dream…
So this is the start of my new intro video for my website! Last Sunday I headed to Santa Barbara for a day full of shooting with the talented Nathanael Matanick of Heschle Video Production. I had a basic idea of what I wanted and left the rest up to Nathanael. I can’t wait to see the finished products but for now I have my stills to look at and I try to imagine what it’s going to look like!
I don’t want to give away the entire concept of the video until it is done so for now I will share the first half of shooting. You might recognize Avalon… she was in a recent blog post about my skating students. Avalon also happens to love acting and her agent happens to be my best friend so it all worked out perfectly. Her mom got the day off and I took Avalon up with me. She is the most fun 7 year old I know and I had so much fun hanging out with her.
Most of the shoot Avalon had to pretend she was playing. It was a stretch for her but she did a great job! =)
Most of these were shot while Nathanael was shooting video. I stood back and let him do his thing (while snapping a few stills for me and Avalon’s mom).

Avalon loved picking the flowers and once I told her she could bit the stems, it was hard to get them away from her!

We had fun!

I love her long eyelashes… she’s such a cutie!

It’s tough being an actor but Avalon listened so well!

Love this.


It was Avalon’s idea to get the jumping shot… one of her favorites!

The sun decided to peek out for about 10 minutes at the end of the day. I’m so glad it did!
