We’ve had your consultation and we just finished all the fun of photographing your session! What happens next? I think it’s pretty common to think that the hard work is over and that after the session there isn’t much to do. But the truth is – a lot happens between the time we finish taking …
Showin’ Some Love: Podcasts
I used to do these Showin’ Some Love posts all the time, but then other things would come up and they’d get pushed to the back burner. So I think it’s high time I brought back another post on things I’m currently loving! Today I want to focus on Podcasts! I’m a big fan of …
Photography Filled Weekend
I don’t often talk about the hard parts of being a business owner and photographer, but I’ve been thinking about it and thought I’d share some of those thoughts today. Being a business owner and artist is a lot of work. I’m sure many of you understand the idea of having to wear many hats …

4th of July 2016
I have many a thought as I sit here pondering what to write with regards to this holiday this year. Here in the United States, many people will gather together over this weekend.
