Paraphrase Productions

Paraphrase Productions We are a husband and wife team specializing in video and photography. We have a passion for story telling and capturing authentic moments and emotion.

This page is a way for us to showcase some of our projects. Nicholas heads up the video side of our company as well as offering his services externally for production management and post-production work. Laura heads up the photography side of Paraphrase Productions offering photo shoots to individuals and families. To "paraphrase" is to express the meaning of something using different wor

ds. In our work, we seek to convey something that is intangible, like emotion, into something that people can see. We desire to seek out clarity and purpose in what we communicate by taking something that is stale and lifeless, and giving it emotion and story. In essence, paraphrasing it.

Another family gallery off today, though they asked to keep off social media. It's a shame because it's my first family shoot where a rainbow appeared and we made the most of it!

Every so often you just have a shoot where you're like, dang... that goes in the favourites. Despite the fact that this was an incredibly long day (the morning working at the school and then RUSHING over on my lunch break to shoot for 9 hours), and then it POURED rain, somehow this just might be up in the top handful of 2024 favourites for me!

New Course Release!
New Course Release!

We all have a million pics of our little ones. What if you could take your memories to the next level and create timeless works of art instead of just a snap shot? Next week, Nov 18-24th, I will be running a course on doing just that while Documenting Baby's First Year! Included are: 135-page ebook, audio version of course, behind-the-scenes shooting video, editing videos, and even a bonus culling video (because how do you decide what to keep and what to toss?). You will also be added to a private FB group and receive individual feedback and mentorship from me for that week!
