This is a place where we can dig a little bit deeper. If we were sitting on a plane together, chatting over tacos, or sipping sweet tea on my front porch, this is a snapshot of what I’d share with you.

I used to get so nervous before shooting couples. “Would I say something dumb?” “What if I completely froze up mid-session?” I was already stressing about taking pictures that wouldn’t completely suck, and getting my camera settings right… but THEN I was expected to also just kill it at posing and all that!? Pshhhh…. *cue […]
Have you ever shown up to a session, and after only a few minutes of shooting your clients, you completely froze up? Once they both stepped in front of your lens, you tried a few of your “go-to” poses, and then… jus went blank…? Been there too, girl! ??♀️ Honestly, it wasn’t until […]
I’m often asked by other photographers, “Do photographers need to be blogging?” “Should I start a blog?” “Do you think blogging is dead?” “Will having a blog actually help grow my photography business, or is it a waste of my time?” All which are valid questions. And in short, my answer is: no, blogging is […]
Weeks before meeting Alexis, Jacob was wrestling with God. He had just gotten out of a relationship and was unsure if there was anyone better for him. He started going to church to pursue Jesus, trusting He would direct his steps. One day, He walked into church, and when he saw Alexis, God told him […]
Autumn & Stevy reached out while I was home for the holidays, to see if I had space in my schedule to shoot their fall engagement session. I already have their wedding on the books for next September at Tree Haven Venue in Simm’s Texas, (which I’m SUPER pumped about,) but I thought we were […]
I wasn’t always able to pinpoint why I was a photographer. I just thought I did it because I loved everything that came with it; the glamour, the fabulous photos, the interaction with people, etc. But the truth is, all that was surface level reasoning. The real reason I became a photographer was much […]
Oh, locations. As photographers, we either love finding them, or dread it; it depends on the day right? I hear from other photographers all the time how much they dread finding locations, (or they just don’t even know where to start with scouting a location that would actually work for a session.) So, without further […]
When I first started my business, I didn’t know who my ideal client was. I operated from the mindset of, “the more clients the better, right? ‘Cause that’s more money…?” NOPE. ??♀️ Your ideal clients are so very important, in fact: they’re the lifeblood of your business, and it’s vital that you not […]
A little over a year ago, I launched this pretty little site you’re on today! I seriously can’t believe it’s already been a year. But I REALLY can’t believe I’ve been blogging almost every single week – consistently. ? (If you’re a blogger, you know that’s somethin’ to party about!) ? There are 52 weeks […]
