Every year the West Michigan Fire Prevention Council hosts a fire prevention parade. After the parade they do demonstrations for the public to show kids how to evacuate a house on fire, cut a car up, and do a side-by-side burn demonstration to show the difference between a sprinkled and un-sprinkled fire. 

I created this video for the local CVB to promote our Venetian Festival. 

I am so spoiled by my access to this view through the Saugatuck Township Fire District...front row in the fire boat beats all others! 

Twenty years ago my mother started the Douglas Halloween Parade for Adults. October was notoriously slow in town, so she wanted to add something fun to help bring people to town. Boy did she ever! The weekend now routinely pulls anywhere from 7-10,000 people to town each year!  

I took over managing the parade in 2012 and in 2015, created a new family friendly event the night before called Glow in the Park. Both events have been great economic drivers for the communities of Saugatuck and Douglas, Michigan. I manage all the marketing and produce all the videos for the events. 

The Saugatuck Douglas Rotary Club sponsors the Mt. Baldhead Challenge each year. Each year I volunteer my time to help shoot the event. 

I created this video for them in 2016 to help promote the run. 

One of the perks of being the staff photographer for the Saugatuck Township Fire District, is getting to ride on the fire boat for Saugatuck's Venetian Parade and fireworks. 

I created this video to help market the events and promote Saugatuck-Douglas area tourism.
