Growth is not always comfortable. In fact, its usually not. When I started my photography business over 13 years ago, I progressively pushed myself and set hefty goals.🎯 But as I continued to build and expand my business to be more successful than I'd dreamed it could be, I've learned that it's during my biggest challenges that I grow the most.🏆 I started my business during an historic economic recession, 📉 and I developed innovative ways to grow my business even further during a pandemic.😷 Now, I find myself ready and excited to embark on an entirely new chapter that truly speaks to my heart. ❤️

❓️What challenges have helped you grow? How are you pushing yourself to be better than you were yesterday?

Looking for something to do this weekend? Only one more weekend to see ⭐️⭐️⭐️THE HUMANS⭐️⭐️⭐ at Driftwood Players!

Ever felt like your family's get-together could be a comedy... or even a dramedy? The Humans tells the story of the quintessential family reunion. They love and depend on each other but still wrestle with basic human fears: old age, abandonment, poverty, health, and relationships. This Tony Award-winning play is a piece that will stick with you long after the curtain has closed.

Can you believe it? I started my business 12 years ago this week, and it’s absolutely flown by! Since then, I've photographed well over 100 weddings, COUNTLESS families, my work has been featured in multiple magazines and books, and I’ve met so many amazing friends! It’s been quite the journey, and I’m thankful you’re here supporting me along the way. I plan to celebrate with a short road trip and day hike with Ron - something we haven't had time to do in quite a while. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite way to celebrate big milestones?

I love this so much! Halloween is so much fun! 🎃 I've got a couple of ideas I'm hoping to create for my home this year... one of them including the "Hitchhiking Ghosts!" How about you? Anyone planning or making anything creative this month for Halloween?

Hello friends! I need your help.
Do you or someone you know have a horse barn (rustic or new) that could be made available for photos for 3 days in early November? I'm looking to do something special for local families and would love to hear from you as soon as possible. Thanks!

What's the number one thing you look for when you're searching for the perfect photographer? 🦋 Is it price, style, location, personality? If you've been looking for a photographer, you've probably realized that it can be a little overwhelming at times and I am here to help you in your search with 3 tips on finding the perfect photographer for you!

1. If you’re looking at photographers on Instagram, look through their feed and see if their editing style matches your vision! Photographers edit in their own specific style, so you want to make sure that the way they have their colors, poses, and overall aesthetic matches what you are envisioning! Photographers will not change their editing style to meet a client's needs, so you want to make sure you’re hiring someone who is dark and moody if you want dark and moody images and someone who is light and airy if you want light and airy!

2. If you’re hiring a wedding photographer, they are going to be an important part of your wedding day! So you will want to get to know them and make sure that you guys click! It doesn't have to be in person, (especially with the way the world is now) but you want to love the photographer's work AND them!

3. Don’t let pricing be your only deciding factor. Sure, your budget is important, but also keep in mind that pricing includes so many variables, photography is an art form but also a business and photographers are trying to earn a livable wage just like you! Often a photographer's price will also reflect the skillset and education that they have put into their craft. So the bigger question is how do YOU value the images you will be receiving. Are these images something you want to invest in to cherish for generations? Do you plan to hang them on your walls, give them to family and friends, and mark a special occasion? Or are you just looking for a few snapshots?

I hope these little tips help you with your search! If you’d love to talk more about hiring me as your photographer, then shoot me a message via my contact form on my website! I still have some 2021 openings and I'm booking well into 2022! I would love to send you some more information to see if we’d be a great fit! 🌻🍁🌞
