Little Tint Ants

Looking back, this was a much simpler time in my life—though one thing never changed: I always had a camera in my hands.

As both a photographer and a father, the answer to what you create becomes pretty clear—you make films about your family. These small, personal projects become more than just videos; they turn into lasting memories, captured through the same lens you use professionally.

This particular piece was filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, on a beautiful day that felt effortless and full of life. At the time, I was working as a drone pilot in real estate, collaborating with properties under Sotheby’s, capturing aerial visuals across the area. It was a fast-paced, rewarding chapter in my career, but in the quiet moments between projects, I found time to create something more personal.

Little Tiny Ants is a heartfelt short film that explores the imagination and inner world of a child. Through the perspective of my daughter Ericka, the film captures her thoughts about the future, her family, and the way she sees the world around her. This film is a glimpse into the beauty, honesty, and curiosity that exists in a child’s mind—something we often forget as we grow older. It’s both personal and universal, showing how children process life in ways that are simple, emotional, and deeply insightful. Shot using the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Osmo, this short film blends intimate storytelling with cinematic visuals to create a reflective and emotional experience. If you enjoy short films about childhood, family, and imagination, this one is for you.

These family films became a way to slow things down—to step away from client work and reconnect with what made me pick up a camera in the first place.

There’s something powerful about documenting your own life with the same intention you bring to professional work. No pressure. No client expectations. Just moments that matter.

And sometimes, those are the projects that mean the most.
