🎥 Why Your Support Matters: Creating Community, One Frame at a Time
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of capturing stories across Hendersonville — from city events and small businesses, to everyday moments that deserve to be remembered. You’ve probably seen my work, maybe even shared it. And if it made you smile, made you proud of where you live, or inspired you to visit a local spot — then we’ve already shared something powerful.
What most people don’t see is what it takes behind the scenes.
Thousands of dollars in cameras, microphones, drones, and editing tools. Long hours spent shooting, editing, driving, troubleshooting. And still — many of the projects I do for our community are unpaid. I don’t say that to complain. I say it because I believe in the value of this work. I love this town. But loving it doesn’t pay the bills.
In fact, I often fund my projects by working long shifts in the service industry — waiting tables, pulling doubles — just so I can afford to keep showing up behind the lens.
Years ago, I made three videos for the city. I was paid $1,050. That was eight years ago.
Since then, the work has only gotten better, and the results speak for themselves — tens of thousands of views, surges in local business, and a platform that gives voice to the people who make Hendersonville special.
But here’s the truth:
📌 If we want to keep telling these stories — beautifully, professionally, and consistently — it has to be sustainable.
That’s why I’m inviting the community to be part of this in a new way.
💡 How You Can Support Local Creative Work
If you’ve enjoyed a video, appreciated a spotlight on a local business, or felt more connected to your town through something I’ve created, consider supporting it:
- Hire Hendo.Today for professional video, photography, or marketing services. Whether you’re launching a business or just want to stand out — I can help you look your best.
- Tip for Community Content. I’ve added a support button to help cover the cost of filming, editing, and distributing stories that uplift our community. Even a few dollars makes a difference.
- Share the Work. Your reposts, comments, and kind words amplify everything. Don’t underestimate how powerful that is.

I’ve built Hendo.Today to serve local businesses with cinematic video, professional photos, blogs, and social media distribution. My service packages start at $1,750 for full productions — but I also offer affordable mini-sessions, interview reels, and social content creation. And yes — custom work is available for anyone serious about marketing with intention.
🙏 Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
I never got into this to become a viral influencer or a flashy content creator. I do this because I care. Because I believe local stories matter. Because I know that when we shine a light on small businesses, artists, and community leaders — we all rise together.
So if you’ve ever thought: “I love what you do,” just know — your support helps me keep doing it. Not someday. But now.
