TAKE THE SHOT MEDIA
TAKE THE SHOT MEDIA
Alongside our youth sports photography, Take the Shot Media also partners with non-profits and small businesses on brand strategy, photography, copywriting, websites, and event support.
Take the Shot Media is run by husband-and-wife team Jeremy and Candace Bermender, who bring a combined 25+ years in marketing leadership to every project. Candace is a Senior Marketing Manager with a background spanning creative direction, brand campaigns, and stewardship communications — and an ICSC (International Catholic Stewardship Council) award winner for her parish marketing campaign. Jeremy has led marketing and demand generation for organizations from Catholic Charities Dallas to national brands, and was recognized on Ad2 Dallas's "32 Under 32" list of marketing leaders.
That strategy-first background shows up in everything we offer — not just great photos, but a plan for how they actually get used.
Dana Nygaard is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Catholic relationship coach, author, and national speaker based in Plano, TX. Her work blends proven psychotherapy techniques with authentic Catholic spirituality — helping singles and couples build stronger, faith-centered relationships through her counseling practice, her book 365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage, and her Cana Commandments retreats.
Take the Shot Media shot Dana's brand photography, wrote the copy across her site, built her website, and supported field event management for her speaking engagements and retreats — giving her a consistent, professional presence everywhere she shows up. Visit the finished site at dananygaard.com.
From school fun-run fundraisers to youth league programs, we help non-profits and community organizations capture the energy of their events — footage they can use to recruit volunteers, thank sponsors, and show families what their support makes possible.
NeighborHUB is a collaborative advocacy center opening in McKinney, TX in Summer 2027 — a special initiative of Catholic Charities Dallas uniting five founding nonprofit partners under one roof to deliver wraparound healthcare, nutrition, legal aid, and education services to the community.
Take the Shot Media partnered with the NeighborHUB team to build their campaign website from the ground up, handling web design, copywriting, and the visual direction needed to introduce the initiative to donors, partners, and the community ahead of opening day.

Whether it's a nonprofit campaign or a small business brand refresh, we'd love to hear about it.
