How does a creative marketer announce a pregnancy?

Strange question, I know. But you had to read the blog with a title like that, right?

I take opportunities in my life to explore new creative arenas, always. Maybe this was a few years ago–My son is nearly 3 now, but it was a fun project and worth the blog.

I wanted to learn stop motion videography. There was no need for it within my office. So…I used my personal life to learn a new skill.

Every person, every company, every startup has a story to tell. It is how you tell the story that matters.

PS– My son wears a lot of hats too…He prefers them over shirts.

The “Creative One”.

The “Creative One”.

As the “Creative one” in my family, I am often asked to help out for family events, take the photos, make the slideshows…ect.

Don’t take that the wrong way, I love this task. My oldest brother, as a lawyer, he’s asked for advice and help from family and friends more often. He often jokes that he will look over anything I sign in exchange for taking photos of his son.

“My hourly rate is a little higher, sis, but let’s call it even.”

A few years back (wow, it’s been nearly 4) when he announced his was getting married, I wanted to do something special. Reading a passage in the wedding wouldn’t allow me to take photos. HMM…what could I do? Before I came up with any great idea, he asked for video. He sent tons of photos of his wife and himself with one request: “Make it pretty.”

This is the “pretty” video:
