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.

Last week on the blog, we chatted all about why your photography business needs an actual workflow! If you haven’t read that post yet, I’d hop on over here to do so real quick, and then come back on over here. It’ll make more sense that way! Okay, ready!? So now I’ve convinced you […]

Before having actual workflows, (i.e. systems and processes,) the back-end of my photography business was an absolute wreck. Seriously. I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to communicating with clients, or where the heck all of my clients even were in their “workflow,” (or lack thereof.) … Did I send out that […]

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 […]

Here’s the tea, sis. ☕️ The best thing you can do when building a photography business is to stay in your own lane, with your eyes down – and DO the work. But what does that actually look like? How do we avoid comparison and create a business that’s all our own? What about […]

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 […]

Anna & Josh exchanged vows during a secluded, intimate beach wedding on Hamahiga Island in Okinawa, Japan on January 11, 2020. Their wedding was unlike any other — it was truly SO laid back, with a nod to the free and easy style of island living. No-one was rushed, and everyone just let it flow. […]

So you’ve decided it’s time to create and launch a website for your photography business. Just using Facebook and Instagram isn’t really cutting it, and honestly; you don’t feel like that’s really putting your best foot forward. (You’re correct!) You don’t feel “legit” yet, and you’re ready to… so you can charge more for your […]

I don’t usually photograph families anymore, but when my own family members Becca & Joseph contacted me about shooting their very first fall family session with their 4-month-old to do it on the land we get together at for the holidays– I just couldn’t turn them down. ? There’s just something about family. It’s the […]
