Justin and Cindy chose to do their engagement session at White Rock Mountain in Arkansas, and I couldn’t have been more stoked! This place is BEAUTIFUL. The main overlook is actually only a short walk away from where you park, and the views are absolutely stunning. You’ll see. ?             […]

Katie & Tyler exchanged vows on the summer evening of June 25th at Tree Haven; a modern, white barn-style venue nestled away in the woods in Simms, Texas.

There’s a LOT of photography education out there, taught by photographers — for other photographers on the internet. It’s everywhere. But the sad thing is, not all of it’s great. So that’s why in today’s blog I’m focusing on “what to do before you start offering education for photographers.” Almost every single time I chat […]
