Here’s another sneak peek from an amazing senior session! 💕

Funny enough, I used to not enjoy senior sessions—but now they’ve become my absolute favorite! It’s amazing how things can change.

Gavin promised me he would be careful on his motorcycle 🏍

I’ve been soaking up the summer sunshine and mountain vibes, spending time with the boys before school starts back up, and settling into my new role as a manager at Heartland Hospice.

Reminder that I am still snapping the shutter button but I am taking on a limited number of photo sessions 📸

Remember to enjoy life and don’t sweat the small stuff ❤️

I can’t believe the time has come to shoot my gorgeous niece’s senior portraits!

It feels like just yesterday she was a little girl running around on my farm. Time truly flies, folks. Watching her grow into such a smart, beautiful young woman has been such a gift—and capturing this milestone behind the lens made it even more special.

How to Create a Business Budget That Covers All Your Expenses 💼

Running a successful photography business means knowing where your money is going! Creating a solid budget ensures you cover all your necessary expenses—like equipment, software, and marketing—while still setting yourself up for profitability and paying yourself first!! Here’s how to get started:

📸 List All Your Business Expenses: Break down your costs into categories like equipment (cameras, lenses, props), software (editing programs, subscriptions), and marketing (social media ads, website hosting).

📸 Track Your Income: Keep a record of all your revenue from shoots, digital products, and other income streams. This will give you a clear picture of what’s coming in each month.

📸 Plan for Recurring Costs: Make sure to include fixed costs like monthly software subscriptions, insurance, and rent, as well as seasonal expenses (like new gear or advertising campaigns).

📸 Set Aside for Taxes: Don’t forget to allocate a portion, I do 30%, of your income for taxes so you’re not caught off guard at the end of the year.

📸 Review & Adjust Regularly: A budget isn’t set in stone—review it monthly to track progress and adjust as your business grows or your expenses change.

📸 Plan Ahead: Be sure to plan for future expenses, like annual subscriptions, new gear, and emergencies, by saving for them in advance.

Creating a budget gives you control over your finances and ensures your business stays profitable and sustainable! I offer 1:1 Financial Business Coaching for photographers!! MESSAGE me today to set up your FREE QA call!

World Mental Health Day 🌿

I used to hide the fact that I’ve struggled with my mental health because I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I didn’t want to be seen differently or judged because of my mental illness.

But over time, I’ve learned that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Now, I’m no longer afraid to share my story and my struggles. I’ve realized that by speaking up, I can help others feel less alone. If sharing my journey helps even one person, it’s worth it.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and today, I encourage you to check in with yourself, prioritize your well-being, and know that it’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. 💛

Let’s break the stigma together and continue having these conversations—not just today, but every day.
