Which summer are YOU? 🌿💦

Are you Team Creek — barefoot, playful, a little wild, splashing through the water and soaking up those last warm days?

Or are you Team Lake — soft sunset light, breezy summer evenings, docks, cuddles, and that dreamy end-of-summer feeling? ✨

Our Last Days of Summer Mini Sessions are officially open, and you get to choose your vibe:

🌿 Creek Minis — September 19th
🌅 Lakeside Minis — September 20th

These are for the families, couples, kiddos, seniors… anyone who isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet. 🤎

Spots are limited, so grab yours before summer slips away!

👇 Tell me in the comments: TEAM CREEK or TEAM LAKE?

We’re squeezing in one more little bit of summer before fall takes over ☀️🤎

Our Last Days of Summer Minis are happening September 19 + 20, with two different session options depending on your vibe:

🌿 Creek Minis — Saturday, September 19 | 2–4 PM
At our private farm near Oxford
Think barefoot kids, splashing, laughing, movement, and the kind of photos that actually feel like your family.

🌅 Lakeside Minis — Sunday, September 20 | 5–7 PM
At Henderson Point
Warm golden-hour light, water, soft summer colors, and a slightly more polished feel. These are perfect for families, couples, maternity, etc.

We’re keeping both days intentionally small with limited spots so everything stays easy, relaxed, and personal.

Today I got to go back to the basics. 📸🌿

I had the opportunity to teach a group of Girl Scouts about photography and nature photography — how to look for light, change your perspective, notice the little details, and create a photograph instead of simply taking one.

And somewhere in the middle of teaching them to slow down, look closer, move their feet, and try another angle, I realized how much I needed the reminder too.

When you turn something you love into a business, it can become really easy to get caught up in the business of it all.

Bookings. Emails. Editing. Marketing. Numbers. Schedules. Growth. What’s next.

Sometimes you need to pick up a camera with no client waiting on the other side and remember why you picked one up in the first place.

I fell in love with photography because it made me notice things. It gave me a reason to slow down, get creative, and find something beautiful or interesting in something everyone else might walk right past.

Today I got to watch that happen for a whole new group of young photographers. ❤️

One of the things I taught them was:

STOP → LOOK → MOVE → SHOOT → LOOK AGAIN.

Pretty good advice for photographers… and maybe business owners, too.

Sometimes growing doesn’t mean adding something new. Sometimes it means going back to the beginning, exercising your creativity, and remembering why you started.

And we’re not quite finished! 👀📷

Each of the girls is choosing a favorite photograph from our nature photography challenge to submit to me. I’m going to put their images together on the Golden Leaf website for a friendly People’s Choice photography competition!

You’ll get to see the garden completely through their eyes and vote for your favorite. 🏆🌿

No names, no faces; just their art taking center stage.

I’ll share the voting link once their photographs are in, so stay tuned. I have a feeling choosing just one is going to be hard.
