My interest in videography and photography began in my childhood.

​It could be said that my film and photo career began during elementary school. I would take my grandfather’s 1940 Revere 8mm camera to the elementary school and pretend to film my friends while they played on the playground. In my young mind, I was creating a movie to surpass all movies. My movie might have even won an Academy Award if only my parents had supplied me with that one vital component that every rising filmmaker needs – film.

​Later, I would take my mom’s point-and-shoot camera and do still-life photography of roses from my mom’s prized flower garden. I even created a black background with weed block ground covering (All done unbeknownst to her). Imagine her surprise when she developed the film and found the roll was filled with flower pictures!  I wish I still had those photos to have a second look.

When I was a teenager my dad got a computer and one of the first Logitech digital cameras. Add some Photoshop knockoff software and I was creating all sorts of things, sometimes to the dismay of others – like when I Photoshopped Princess Diana’s hair onto my step-mom’s head. Although she was unhappy I did it, she was pleased with the results and changed her hairstyle to match Diana’s.

​My dad, a fellow photography enthusiast, supported me by giving me my first film and digital cameras. The first digital SLR camera was actually a loaner, but I took so many pictures that I wore it out, so he ended up letting me keep it.

​This fascination with telling visual stories led me to tie all my youthful adventures into pursuing the art of filmmaking and digital media. In April of 2007, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media with an emphasis in film and television.

In September of 2007, inspired by my grandfather’s life in Nazi Germany, I created Dallas Golden Creative Media. My business model was to record personal histories.

It wasn’t long before I was receiving requests for other photography and videography needs, so I expanded the business’s offerings to include photography and videography for events, sports, weddings, performances, instructional videos, and family portraiture.
