Portfolio sample
Festivals + Live Music
Live-music coverage ported to short-form

Credits include coverage of BottleRock Napa Valley with work published in PEOPLE Magazine, plus independent festival coverage across New Orleans Jazz Fest, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and more.
If you want to see the editorial side, the Stories section carries writing and photos from recent festival work.

Common Questions
Festival content FAQ
Is this UGC-style or production content?
Both, depending on the brief. On a brand or sponsor activation, this is professionally produced content you have paid for, and it is described that way. I do not frame paid work as an unsolicited customer post.
How many vertical cuts do I get per day?
The standard day package is three vertical cuts plus still selects. Hook variants from the same footage, longer edits, and faster turnarounds are scoped as add-ons.
Can you post from my brand's handles?
Yes, if you brief me, give me the handoff credentials or scheduling access, and sign off on the voice. Posting from your handles is a separate scope line from producing the content.
Can you post from the Girls in the Pit handles?
Only if we build it into the scope and your campaign fits the audience. Posting from GITP is treated as audience sponsorship, not content production. See the audience sponsorship page.
What usage do I get?
Base scope covers organic social on your channels. Paid-ad usage is an add-on, generally scoped by duration and spend window. Raw files and creator-account posting from my handles are separate line items as well.
Will the content feel like an ad?
Only if you want it to. Festival content moves best when it reads as human first, brand second. We align tone in the brief, keep brand touchpoints inside what the format can carry, and avoid templates.
