One of my most favorite things about laughing photos is that you can totally hear the laughter! RIGHT?! 😆

So much tickling, so much laughter! Thank you to my dear friend, Janet for trusting me to photograph her and her sweet babies during our session. 🧡

Can't you hear this cutie pie laughing?

SUNRISE SESSION ARE MY NEW JAMMY JAM!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're a morning person and want that golden light in your photos, I HIGHLY suggest a sunrise session. You get the same golden hour with less people around which is always a cool way to get a place to feel like it your very own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BONUS POINTS if you 're into mornings and you like to go on mountain adventures.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you more of a morning early riser or more of night owl? ☀️🌙

I CANCELED MY WEBSITE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you been around for a while, you know that it definitely feels like I’ve always had a website. A place for my portfolio, a place I write weekly blogs, a place where I am daily accessible with all of the latest information. So this feels weird to not have a corner of the internet that is mine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AT LEAST FOR NOW.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my Stories, I’ve been talking a lot about behind the scenes of what goes on on the back end of a photography business and just daily life. And let me tell you something, rebranding is hard as hell. It takes SO LONG and SO MUCH EFFORT to go through a business that was started out photographing live bands to now a business that I can call a brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WOAH. WEIRD.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this is just me ranting about how it’s weird but also how fricken cool it is to be in this headspace of being creative, seeking possibilities, and becoming more and more REAL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if you’re wondering if I’ve quit photography business because you can’t find my website. Uh-uh, honey. It’s only getting started.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you want to still hop onto my email list, the link is still gold for you to get some good deets straight to you when the new website is ready! ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Otherwise, swing by in the comments or in my FB messages and say HI! I’ll probably send you a gif or inappropriate meme. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Either way, it’s my way of saying thanks for being here.

HEY THERE, ✨35!✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHERE THE HELL DID 35 COME FROM?!?🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, it’s beyond me that I’ve circled this planet that many years and feel, like, I’m STILL trying to figure out this life. But as they say, if you’re not growing, you’re 💀😂.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, here’s to another year of showing up, doing all the things, learning as I go!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THANK YOU for all your ongoing love and support (personally and along this business journey)!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep those hilarious birthday gifs and memes comin’!🤣
I’m truly living for them.😂😂

*Drives to Starbucks for that birthday coffeeeee*

Trusting your photographer’s vision is always so appreciated. When you hire a photographer, you’re not only hiring them for their “fancy” cameras and equipment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re also hiring them for their expertise. Their vision. Their skillz. Yes, skillz with a Z. Because that’s how we roll. 😆
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when a photographer says “this dead tree branch would be perfect if you could just stand a little to your left... yup, right there! Perfect.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By the way, this is a local park in the SFV and is totally a perfect spot for your next mini-session with me.😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM to get started!🎉
