Hi, hello, good morning friends! ☀️

So I did some thinking this morning... and I really do have some of the BEST clients! I've decided t's time I start a reward program for you guys! Whether you've booked with me over and over again or you're constantly sending your friends & family my way.

✨Starting today I will be opening a SMS Photography loyalty program. ✨

Here's how it works:

✨Refer 5, GET 1 FREE!✨
Refer 5 people who book a session with me, and you'll earn a FREE SESSION!

OR

✨BOOK 5, GET 1 FREE!✨
Book 5 paid sessions with me, and your 6th session is FREE!

🚩Your FREE loyalty session includes:🚩
📸 15 minutes session
🔐Full edited gallery
📍Choice of 1 of 3 locations I have to offer.
‼️Can be used for:
•Individual portraits
•Couples
•Maternity
•Immediate family (up to 5 people)

🚨 PLEASE NOTE: These are TWO SEPARATE loyalty programs and CANNOT be combined.
For example, booking 3 sessions + referring 2 clients does NOT equal 5. You must reach 5 referrals OR 5 booked sessions separately to earn your free session.

📌A FEW IMPORTANT DETAILS:📌
I will not be sending reminders or keeping you updated on your progress. Once you believe you’ve reached 5, message me! I’ll go back through my records to verify everything and get your free session scheduled.

For a referral to count, the person booking must mention your name upon booking so I know who sent them!

This is my little way of saying THANK YOU for continuing to book with me, trust me with your memories, and recommend my business to others. Your support keeps this little dream of mine going. 💜✨

Now go tell your friends because being my hype girl comes with benefits. 😂📸

One of my favorite faithful clients. Krissy, I adore you more than you know. Always believes in me, trusts me with her visions and being able to bring them life. She's not just a client, I'd go as far as calling her a friend. When I was postpartum, she made me the cutest basket for self care with snacks, and this last session she made me homemade cookies.. That didn't last a day in my household... lol. People like you make me keep going on this photography career path. Thank you

‼️WARNING LONG POST!‼️

A little appreciation post for someone who deserves it. Miss Amanda Hays.💛

There are some people who come into your life and probably don’t even realize how much of an impact they’ve made. For me, she’s one of those people.

She started as someone I looked up to as a photographer and became my mentor, my friend, and one of the biggest supporters of me and my business.

She’s answered my million photography questions, given me advice, shared her knowledge, encouraged me when I doubted myself, and never once made me feel like I was competition. Instead, she has continuously helped me grow.

But her friendship has gone so much further than photography.

I’ll never forget the day I called her crying after I lost my job. I was scared, overwhelmed, and had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do next. She listened to me cry, let me get it all out, and then basically said, “Okay. Here’s what you’re going to do.” 😂

She helped me figure out what I needed to do to take photography full-time. She believed I could make this work at a time when I wasn’t completely sure I believed it myself.

She was also there for me when I made the decision to completely stop drinking alcohol. She supported me through that change, and even now, hearing her tell me that she’s proud of me means more than I think she realizes. Sometimes you just need someone in your corner reminding you that they see how far you’ve come.

There are a lot of photographers who will teach you how to use a camera. But finding someone who genuinely wants to see you succeed, shares what they know, answers the phone when life falls apart, supports you through the personal stuff too, and continues cheering you on through every version of yourself? That’s something unforgettable.

I don’t think I could ever fully explain how grateful I am for your friendship, mentorship, support, and every single push you’ve given me.

Thank you for helping me become the photographer, and person I am today, and for continuing to remind me that you’re proud of the person I’m becoming. 🫶🏻

Snuck away to North Carolina to visit my mom last weekend. 🌺💗

Last minute, we decided to get tattoos and came across the incredibly talented Alina, owner of Luna Ink Tattoo. I was so impressed by her attention to detail. From setting up her station, to thoughtfully placing our tattoos, making time for us despite her busy schedule, and the genuine conversations we shared along the way.

I walked away with a beautiful piece that I'll treasure forever. I can only hope that the next time I'm back in NC, I'll get to sit in her chair again and add another piece to my sleeve. ❤️‍🔥
