About
With over 15 years of experience in video production, I help small, local businesses tell their stories in a way that feels authentic and compelling. From concept to final edit, my approach is rooted in storytelling because the best videos don't just look good, they connect with people.
I am passionate about working with local organizations, entrepreneurs, and community-focused brands who want video that reflects who they really are and why their work matters. Whether you need promotional videos, event coverage, social media content, or brand storytelling, I focus on creating high-quality visuals that serve your goals and resonate with your audience.

Novella was very easy to work with. Very clear communication, prompt, and flexible in scheduling. Everything was completed in the requested timeframe, delivered fast, and very well done. I would most certainly hire Novella again for any media job. Thank you for the great product!

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Taylor and his company, Novella Creative, during my time at the Economic Development Authority, where Chris served as our photographer and videographer. He is an absolute professional and a genuine joy to collaborate with.
Chris is incredibly easy to work with. He brings a laid-back, funny, and agreeable demeanor to every project, which puts everyone at ease and makes even complex shoots feel smooth and efficient. That ease, however, never comes at the expense of quality. His work is consistently excellent. Chris is a highly skilled videographer with outstanding drone capabilities, capturing dynamic footage that adds real visual impact and storytelling power. As an editor, he has a sharp eye for detail, pacing, and visual interest, elevating raw footage into polished, compelling final products.
What truly sets Chris apart is his collaborative approach. He is always open to ideas, listens carefully, and takes direction well, while also bringing his own creative ideas and thoughtful suggestions to the table. That balance of flexibility and creativity makes him a wonderful partner on any project.
I would enthusiastically recommend Chris Taylor and Novella Creative to any organization looking for top-tier photography and video work paired with an easy, professional, and highly creative collaborator.

Chris does exceptional work. As a video producer and editor, Chris has produced more than a dozen videos for me over the past two years. I get glowing compliments all the time thanks to him. Chris is also a talented photographer and can provide you with professional headshots and more. If you need video production support from a talented freelancer who will make you and your team look amazing, work with Chris! 5+ out of 5 stars.
