Health is not just about what you eat. Hear more from celebrity chef, Lizette López de Arriaga!   Meeting chef Lizette López de Arriaga was very inspiring. She has a charisma and a positive energy that quite literally radiates from her. I had the honor of documenting one of the events from her Wellness Ambassador Program, a program thats goal is to encourage people of all ages to live healthier lives. Lizette says that health is not just in the choices of foods we eat, but is an overall lifestyle choice that involves how we are doing emotionally as well….

The Clinique video was release nationally on Dec 16, 2011 for the Clinique Happy Campaign. I had seen my video online before and freaked out of course, but nothing could compare to how I felt when I saw for the very first time today (in Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas), a bit of my commercial being played at the Clinique counters. I geeked out. All of the Clinique ladies wanted to know why I was taking pictures of the TV screen. When I told them “That’s me in the commercial!” they geeked out too. What a great moment.

Check out what happened in 2011 and Moth to Flame’s goals for the new year!! Lots of new things in 2012. Many accomplishments in 2011, but we are already looking to do bigger and better things in the new year. If I didn’t mention you, I am sorry! I did this really fast. Off the top of my head, I totally forgot to mention David J Anderson for redesigning the Moth to Flame logo and Shannon Deane who continues to help me clean up my messy sound.

My friend Becka asked me if I could help film the Big Reds and Bubbles event, hosted by the Wine and Food Foundation of Texas. The moment she said free food from the best chefs in Austin and free wine, I said of course. It was a beautiful event with booths from different restaurants in Austin and over 100 different types of wines and champagnes. I ate way too much. The event took place at The Driskell Hotel and was packed the entire night. My favorite food item of the night was definitely the crab cakes made by Truluck’s. I…

Moth to Flame and coloredlion.com teamed together to capture Nick and Emily’s beautiful wedding. Nick and Emily approached my friend Daran Herrman from Coloredlion.com to capture their wedding in October 2011. Daran had done an amazing job with their engagement photos that they wanted to work with him again. Because Daran knows what’s good for him (just kidding), he contacted Moth to Flame to do the video portion. Daran and I filmed the entire day starting from 11 am to 2 am at night, capturing moments with the groomsmen and the bridesmaids getting ready, to the ceremony, and the party….

  Everyone in Texas goes to HEB! HEB picked Moth to Flame to do a spec! HEB picked Moth to Flame as one of the 20 filmmakers to shoot a spec for Web and TV usage, targeting Texas moms, showcasing some of their products. I thought to myself, what better way to showcase HEB’s food than to film a real Texas family having a good time? I immediately contacted my friend Emily Albino, whose entire family uses HEB and are born and raised in Texas. Moth to Flame recently shot Emily’s wedding video with Coloredlion.com.
