We are Shena and Shira Pridgett, freelance photographers/videographers based in Dallas. We turned our passion of capturing moments and stories into a career in 2018 and took the Digital Film and Video Arts class at the MediaTech Institute Dallas and graduated with a certificate the same year in December. We've worked with many remote and North Texas companies, large and small. Dallas Girl Gang, The Dallas Cotillion Club, CaterCow, R&R Naturals, PlantPop and many more! Our filming styles vary from stylistic to minimal and we can adapt to whatever our clients are looking for in the final product. We don’t see film and photography as just a way to put food on the table, it’s a creative outlook on the world. From feature length films to quick interviews, as long as the audience is captivated by what they’re seeing, we know we’ve done a great job. Please don't hesitate to contact us with anymore questions or if you'd like some links to more of our video work as well. We hope to hear from you soon!

I am an avid videographer who has been making films since 2011.

As an independent filmmaker, I often find myself wearing many hats from pre- production through post production. My skills and experience includes directing, cinematography, editing, storyboarding, color grading and basic mixing and mastering of audio. I have also created simple animations and title sequences.
