Holy moly this post is belated ๐Ÿ˜†

Hi everyone! Itโ€™s been about a year (I thinkโ€ฆ?) since i last made an introduction post and our community and following has grown HUGELY since then soโ€ฆ

Hey! We are Maggie & Dutch and we're the creatives behind Forest Film! Hereโ€™s a little about us and our business!

Forest Film was started in 2023 but what began it started all the way back in 2011. It all began because Dutch hated getting his photo taken and so with his 11th birthday money he went to a thrift store and bought an old film camera and some film because, as he says โ€œno one ever takes pictures of the photographer.โ€

Yep. Thatโ€™s literally how all of this started ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thereโ€™s obviously more that happened in between then and now though; Dutch started his own photography business The Dutchman's Photography in 2018 and worked with clients alongside college and then his job. It was his passion but also more of just a โ€œside gigโ€ at that point.

In 2021, Dutch and I met on Tiktok and I wonโ€™t go into that story because this post is already getting too long ๐Ÿ˜… We got engaged in April of 2022, and then married October 2022. Throughout our relationship I had begun shooting with Dutch occasionally and then steadily taking on more and more of his editing projects as he got busier with his full time job. This continued until Fall of 2023, when I had my first shoots with my own clientsโ€“ really just for fun at that point. I had developed my own editing style at this point, and so after I shot some of my own clients, I decided to start an instagram page just for fun.

That instagram page was called Forest Film :D

I wish I could say there was more meaning behind the nameโ€ฆ but there isnโ€™t. I just thought it sounded cool and I did not expect anything big to happen with it ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was never more mistaken haha!

Late that year I shot my second wedding, and then the bride posted her sneak peek photos in some bride groups on facebookโ€“ and those photos went โ€œmini viralโ€ in those groups. Thousands o
f likes, hundreds of commentsโ€“ and then the inquiries started coming in!

I made a resolution from that moment on that I could not let the momentum that my business was getting come to an end. I was going to pour everything I could into Forest Film until it was thriving.

Now, two years later and after SO many sleepless nights, tears, and burnoutโ€“ I do think Iโ€™ve accomplished that, but I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be.
After Forest Film blew up, we eventually decided to meld The Dutchmanโ€™s Photography into Forest Film. Most of our clients were at that time being booked through Forest Film, and Dutch had to travel for work at the time, so it just made sense.

In late 2024 we decided to embark into the world of videography, and itโ€™s been a learning process for sure but itโ€™s been a lot of fun to be able to offer cinematic films to our clients alongside photography.

So that brings us to this year! Hereโ€™s some things we have planned this year that we are excited about!

- I will be traveling to Scotland in May for Reagan Elaine Photography's retreat and I couldnโ€™t be more excited!!

- Weโ€™re headed back to the PNW in August! We shot our first PNW wedding last year (shoutout to Tori & Bowen), and we fell in love with the area so weโ€™re so excited to go back.

- Weโ€™re working on training staff this year, which is a big milestone and weโ€™re excited for how it will help us with our workflow and allow us to deliver galleries more quickly.

- We have a wedding in Pigeon Forge this fall!
We might possibly have some content day ideas in the worksโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€

Wellโ€“ that reintroduction post was WAY longer than I intended butโ€ฆ Hi! Weโ€™re so happy that youโ€™re here, and if you have any questions you want to ask us, feel free to drop them in the comments!

With love,
Maggie & Dutch

I had a one-on-one mentorship session with Maggie, and I can honestly say it was one of the most encouraging and refreshing experiences Iโ€™ve had in my photography journey.

She helped me clearly identify what was actually holding my work back and, more importantly, gave me practical ways to fix it. I walked away not just with ideas, but with real direction and actionable steps I can start implementing right away.

What stood out most to me was how open and genuine she was. She didnโ€™t gatekeep anything. She shared her workflow, her experiences, and her recommendations with complete honesty and clarity. That kind of transparency is rare, and it made such a difference. In the past, Iโ€™ve reached out to professionals and felt like I only got surface-level answers, but this was the complete opposite.

She made sure every single one of my questions was answered before we wrapped up, and even brought up additional topics she knew would benefit me. On top of that, I received a recording of the session, which is incredibly valuable because I can go back and revisit everything as I grow.

To say this mentorship was beneficial feels like an understatement. I left feeling encouraged, inspired, and honestly relieved to finally have direction. If youโ€™re considering working with Maggie, I would absolutely recommend it!
