Three of the biggest things I want to share with you that aren’t just from my personal experience but from the wise advice of other photographers that have spoken truth into my life. Here is what I wish I could go back and tell myself, that confused girl that so badly wanted to not just […]

When you have something like a small business in your life you will have a lot of choices to make, choices, not compromises. Those my friends, are two different paths. You’ll have a lot of decisions thrown at you. Some will be little ones like what color tissue paper you want to put in your […]

I shared this same post with you all on December 3rd 2014. At the time, I didn’t know that Joy would be our March theme, I felt so pressed re-share this post with you as my final post about Joy this month. Now that you have read about Joy and what it means, What happens when […]

We have to choose joy and keep choosing it. Even when the editing piles up, or the work is overwhelming or sometimes worse, underwhelming, when you are trying so hard. How about when you want to give up or when you just want to push through the next work week because you’re so tired. Choose […]

 Loving your own work is hard, we tend to pick out all the things we don’t like instead of celebrating our small victories, but why? Why are we are own worst enemy? As artists, we are so often our own worst critics, I do it, you do it, and your favorite photographer/artist does it too. […]

Often we look around where we live and get bored, or maybe you just dont like where you’re living because its not “pretty enough”.  You probably see all those gorgeous places from your favorite photographers and you throw your hands up and say “Ill never have photos like that, theres no cliffs or waterfalls near […]

Often times I get really wrapped up in everything that comes with running a small photography business, from finances and bookings to editing and keeping up with my social media. It can be one big viscous cycle and before you know it, you find yourself constantly sitting at the computer hopping from program to program, […]

I’ve had this post in my drafts for awhile, and I hope I don’t sound like a broken record, I just feel led to share with you more of my reasoning of being a photographer before we get into a full year of tutorials and such! After thinking things through, I  thought I would start […]

Ive been there, you’re starting out, or maybe you’ve been doing photography for a short while but you’re stuck. Maybe you’ve been on this journey  for a long while but you clicked on this link anyways. Well, this is for you, because I truly feel  like what I am about to say are not my words. […]

  I have been asked many times how to land assistant gigs, second shooting jobs, ect. The biggest thing I suggest you do is start networking, and putting yourself out there! Join Facebook groups geared towards second shooting and see if there are any for your area specifically! Try to reach out to local photographers and ask […]

When I started second shooting it was a pretty selfish act. You may ask “why? You’re just doing your job?” Yes, I helped out, did my ‘job’ to the best of my ability, and learned a lot BUT I was truly missing out. I didn’t want to just do a ‘job‘ and the faster you […]

I have been asked a lot how I got into weddings, and I can promise you this, I still am! It is most definitely a work in progress but I can tell you how I have got to where I am today and how I got to shoot my first weddings, and I how I […]
