Meet US
Hi, my name is Yvonne. Ever since I was young, all I wanted to do was listen and help others. Friends and family would often refer to me as their “therapist” in jest as they would tell me of their situations, problems, and struggles. To my surprise, here I am years later, currently earning my master's degree to become an addiction counselor. Through my education, I discovered my love for psychology and counseling.
While on this journey, I crossed paths with Mike, who not only showed me the world of fitness but also introduced me to the craft of photography and videography. Though I had a love for music and film, I did not have much knowledge of the world of cinema. When Mike and I started dating, I began helping him film content for his media pages. When I first began, I helped strictly behind the camera, and I was not interested in creating my own media content, but before long, I had begun to love the process of creation, and as my own fitness journey progressed, I made the decision to make and post my own media content as well.
Hi, my name is Michael! For as long as I can remember I have had a love for film. When I was young, my mother, sister, and I would watch movies endlessly, and each time, I would stare at them in awe. I didn’t have the words to express why I found the films so captivating, but this awe inspired my mother to introduce me to my first camera, and I would take pictures and videos of everything that I could so that I would be able to hold on to those memories forever. Little did I know that years later, photography and videography would become one of the most important things in my life, something that I would dedicate countless hours to learning, practicing, and perfecting.
About four years ago, while I was attending University earning my degree in behavioral economics, I started my fitness journey and decided to pursue an education in exercise science as well. During this time, I began producing content on all of my media platforms. I was nervous at first to share so much of myself, but I wanted to combine my love for fitness and film while also helping others in their personal journeys.
When Passions Unite
As we worked together we began to learn more and more about photography and videography, and as our knowledge grew so did our love for the creative process. We both began to make and share more content for our personal pages, collaborating on our ideas and helping one another to make our creative visions into realities.
As we worked together we realized how amazing it was to help one another bring our visions to life, and we knew that the skills which we possess were perfect to develop our media production company. Thus, Knock Out Cinematics was created, and our journey seeking to help make the creative visions of others into realities began.
By combining both of our backgrounds, we can provide services that are both personable and knowledgeable to best meet our client's expectations. Through our work, it is so important to us that we are able to make each client feel understood and valued, not only during our photography or videography sessions but throughout the entire creative process. These unique skills enable us to not only capture stunning visuals but also help create meaningful experiences for our clients, resulting in a truly exceptional service that sets us apart in the industry.
