It’s time for another What to Wear Wednesday, and today I want to talk about layers! Fall is hands down my favorite time of year for so many reasons, but one reason I love fall is I love all the layering options you have this time of year. You can do scarfs and sweaters and …
Partnering with BoxDrops by SJP
Earlier this year I attended a conference with my dear friend and fellow photographer, Sarah, of Sarah Jane Photography. I went to this particular conference with her to help with her vendor booth. Sarah was 9 months pregnant at the time and it was a big enough event that a few extra hands were nice. …
The Fisher Family Photography | Decatur, IL
I cannot begin to tell you how very special this session is. Katrina is one of my very dear friends and I consider myself exceedingly blessed to call her that.

Lessons from Art School: Film Photography Nostalgia
One of the things I pride myself on as a professional photographer is that I am fully trained and educated in my field.

Another Year…
Well I woke up today another year older… I’m not one who looks forward to or really dreads birthdays. I’ve never placed much stock in them. Partly because I hate being the center of attention… I’d much rather have a small casual get together with a few people than some big overwhelming hooha any day! …
Behind the Scenes: Brittany’s Your Story Project Shoot
It’s been a few months since I first started working on my first Fine Art Photography Project. You may recall that my first series is titled The Your Story Project, and it is a collaborative creative project where we work together to create an art piece that visual portrays your own personal story. I’ve currently …
