Today I had the privilege of going back down to Ballard for “Destination Day”. They have two seniors interested in photography, so I got to do a quick photo session with them, show them basic camera settings, a little of the editing process, and some of the business side of things. It was a super rainy and gloomy day, but we made the best of it! They got to see how not every session goes according to plan, how the weather can affect the outcome, how in side pictures look different than outdoors, and so much more.
I also got to show them how to change the affect of a picture by using some tools with your camera. We also talked about posing a bit too. I hope they got something/learned something new today, and overall, just had a great time! Thank you Ballard school and Kelsi Bergen for giving me this opportunity! Thank you to the Binders for allowing us to use your event space for a few pictures!

Possible Teen/Senior Rep program starting (continue reading)
We did some pictures of just sweet Kinze, and look at how gorgeous she is!!!!
After I did these, I got to thinking about offering two different programs: a Teen Rep and a Senior Rep program. I am always doing fun, unique photoshoots with my girls, but thought I would offer that for others as well. I love taking senior pictures, but my teen daughter likes to have pictures done too, and so do other girls her age.
I will be posting an example of those fun shoots here soon in case you missed those posts.
Now, I do not have all the details yet, but hear me out… For each program I would want at least 3-5 girls. We would do group shots throughout the year and individual sessions throughout the year. These would still require a contract and a deposit .
Each session would still be a paid session, however, I would either offer discounted sessions if you are in this group, or different incentives too.
I would require each individual that is interested to fill out a form telling me all about theirselves, their likes and dislikes so I can make sure they get a session that fits their style too.
This is a great way for your child to have some fun, get pictures done, and meet new people also.
This would be a commitment for parents as well. I would need parents committed to each session I would offer for the group shots, outfit planning, etc.
If you are interested in having your teen or soon to be senior join this group, comment below. If I get enough interest, I will work on details right away, and it would be something we would start in 2027!
Also, lmk what kind of of incentives you as parents would like, or if you would just want discounted sessions to be in this program.

Sneak peek of this beautiful family I took pictures of last night. I loved all their outfits and how well they coordinated with one another! From a few family poses, to brothers wrestling, to chasing babies and toddlers, I say we had a great evening!

In studio Christmas minis! (Posting a few minutes early)
Before you book, I wanted to let you know that I will have to use a flash for these, so if that is a trigger to anyone in your family, please do not book these minis.
Also, we have redone my studio, so studio space is very tight. Larger families will not fit in this space.
Deposit is required when booking, and my Venmo info is added in the pictures. Alls you have to do is click the link to book, sign the contract, and pay the $30 deposit. These are $230 total, the remaining balance of $200 is due the day of your session. My address is on your contract and once you click the link, you can pick your date and time slot.

Looking for a senior girl or soon to be senior who would like to come hang out with me for about 30 minutes. We will use this area right here with the boat. Can’t be afraid of water. I can help you with your outfit by making suggestions or have a few pieces you can borrow too depending on size. Message me for details.

We will for sure have in studio minis (I will post that info hopefully by the end of the week as I’m waiting for one more thing to come in to finish it up), but I haven’t got enough interest for outdoor minis, so with that being said, I am willing to rent out my friends greenhouse again if I can get 4 people interested (pics below of the setup). I know we did these last year, so I understand if you want something different.
I’m going to be honest…. Even though front porch swing minis were my 1st idea, we have some serious landscaping/yard work that needs to be done and some work on my swing , and it just won’t be done anytime soon (please remember it cost alot in time and money to prepare for minis). I am so sorry if I let any of you down with that idea.
This is our first year homeschooling, and even though I am absolutely loving it like so dang much, it is taking all my time and energy as we are trying to navigate it along with my daughter’s sports schedule. I know our 2nd year will run smoother as we will have things all figured out!
Also, this field/business has become overly saturated, so it’s hard coming up with new, fresh ideas right now and a lot of the spots I have used in the past have become known or have been torn down/under construction. Because of my teaching jobs taking up so much of my time these past several years, I had to put my photography on the back burner, so now, it almost feels like I am having to start over, which honestly sucks.
With that being said, my goal is to make our property my newest location for all the things. Hear me out…. I have big, huge ideas and have for a long time, and I think it’s time to get to work on those ideas. My husband better get ready…
My plan is to grow my business on our farm. I want to build a bigger greenhouse at some point, have a field of my own filled with grass, flowers, and add some hidden gems. I want to offer more pond sessions with my row boat, plant cedar trees that are accessible to get to (we have a beautiful patch already, but we have to take trails to get to them), grow my studio space, have an even bigger flower patch next summer, etc.
Of course none of these things will happen over night, it takes time, planning, hard work, and money. But just know that I am trying to grow and expand and offer my clients more options and ideas. So lmk below if you want a greenhouse date, and I’ll work on getting that info out this week if I get enough interest. In studio minis will have plenty of time slots throughout the course of a week (all morning appointment to get that light).
Anyways, I am completely booked for the reminder of the year, except for minis or if you have talked to me about a session (I jotted your names down so just get with me). It’s just a busy time for us right now.
So please hang in there with me as I try to get things rolling as I try to expand and grow and have something so beautiful and personal to offer you all,hopefully in the near future.
And if you stuck around to reading all this, thank you!💕

Alright friends/clients, I have begun working on in studio Christmas minis. I am not finished, but here is a sneak peek. Because planning, setting up, and the cost of doing things like this really add up, I am still trying to decide what to do for outdoor minis. My first plan was front porch swing, then my husband and I moved onto cedar trees (but because of it being harvest season and we started our homeschool journey, it just hasn’t happened yet, not saying it won’t, but it hasn’t yet). With all that being said, I need to know if I have any interest in studio minis or outdoor minis. My fall minis were a complete flop, which really just took a toll on me and had me rethink/question everything. So before I put any more work into planning, buying, setting up, or possibly renting, I need to know who is 100% sure they want something? I would need at least 4 people committed to outdoor minis before I continue my planning. I do have big plans on expanding my business, but need to have that talk with my husband and really plan that out too. I have so many ideas, but don’t have the space to currently do them. But hopefully in time, things will fall into place. Just comment below if you’re interested, and I’ll wait to see what I can do.
