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! My filming styles vary from stylistic to minimal and I can adapt to whatever my 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. My first project was a short web series and from there I branched out into narrative filmmaking, commercial videography and production, wedding videography, and live streaming. As an independent filmmaker, I often find myself wearing many hats from pre- production through post production.

Over 15 years experience as a producer/director/camera/editor for PBS and other freelance, currently a certified Final Cut Pro X editor and Telly award winner. I have been responsible for producing a handful of broadcast programs for the past 12 years. Working freelance and making independent content i try to seek out unique stories in my area, covering things more in depth that the local papers either skimp over or ignore all together. I try to let the characters in my videos tell the story, rather than use a voice over. Can also double as a photojournalist on any assignment.
