• There are a few things that I am simply not good at as a photographer...
▫️
Getting behind the scenes. Y'all, the absolute last thing on my mind is getting content or BTS for social media. So when anyone does this for me, thank you very much 🙌.
▫️
Showing my face. I've tried talking to the camera, but honestly it just made me feel silly and it didn't feel genuine. So I rarely do it. But I do love sharing about my family, our daily adventures and I hope my heart for this business comes across through my posts.
▫️
Keeping up with the trends. I appreciate all different styles of photography, but after doing this for almost a decade, staying on my own path has served me well. Learning from others is one thing, but doing the same thing as everyone else doesn't make sense to me.
▫️
Keeping it professional. My clients have my phone number. So many families end up letting their kids play with my kids outside after studio sessions. I'm going to cry at your wedding because I'm invested in your story and feel like part of it all. I want to hear your birth story and I love talking about motherhood.

Social media is full of photographers who are successful at all of these things. But success to me in this business is getting to capture your memories, making you feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera, and getting to stay home as much as possible while raising our babies. •
