We were blown away by Sara's dedication to her craft. She was hired to capture video and stories from the CA wildfires for Weather.com. She found unique, inspiring stories and also had a drone photographer with her that tied it all together. When I give her 5 stars, she truly deserves all of them and then 5 more. Very communicative, an absolute re-hire and pleasure to work with.
