I’ve seen a poorly created timeline wreck a wedding day, and I’ve seen strategic ones save them. Yes, it’s seriously THAT big of a deal! […]

Jordan and Samuel’s fall engagement session in Texarkana, Texas didn’t exactly happen how we’d originally planned it – but it still turned out so beautiful. We’d originally planned to do their engagement session in Tyler, Texas, at both their favorite coffee shop (1948 coffee,) and at their favorite park, Tyler State Park. (Where they had […]

You may have noticed the term ” Honeybook smart files” surfacing around the web and throughout the community over the past year. Smart files are basically a revamped version of the “legacy files” that have been included in your Honeybook subscription. (They’re like the 2.0 version of legacy files.) In this blog post, I’m going […]
