So if you’ve been reading your emails or following along on social media, then you may have noticed that I launched something big out into the world last week. I opened the doors to my first ever online course, Digital Camera Academy. And I’ll tell you, it wasn’t easy and it definitely felt scary. It […]
This month we’ve been talking a lot about cameras…why you should use yours, why you don’t actually need the best, most expensive one to take great photos. And today I’m gonna share my (probably) unpopular opinion with you….you should be shooting in manual mode. What!? Manual mode. Do you think I’m a photographer? Have you […]
So all month we’ve been talking about your DSLR camera…why you should blow the dust off of it and use it in 2020, what really goes into creating images (hint: it’s not expensive camera equipment), and finally answered the question, “Why all the lenses?”. So to finish off the month, and put to rest any […]
In November, I sat down to make a Christmas list for myself. Yes, I still make a list. My husband claims to not like ideas, but funny how he usually uses them… and my mom & dad still spoil me with thoughtful gifts on Christmas and specifically ask me for a list of ideas. If […]
Let me paint you a picture this morning. Imagine me, 26 years old, 8 months pregnant with my first child, sitting cross-legged on our bed while I watched my husband excitedly unbox the brand new DSLR camera that we just bought. I watched as he took out the camera and carefully sat it on the […]
Happy New Year, Friends! 🥳 I kind of love that we get to say we’re in the ‘20s now. Referring to the 2000s or the… ‘teens’ 🤔 didn’t do it for me. If you’re anything like me, you love to make a plan, set goals, dream a little bit at the beginning of a year. […]
Christmas is juuuust around the corner. I’ve got a to-do list a mile long and yes, still a few gifts to buy. (I’m a life-long procrastinator.) So today I want to share a few tips and tricks to getting a great family photo on Christmas morning. If you’re like me, you dream of fabulous photos […]
So I hear Christmas is right around the corner…😂 Are you kidding? My kids actually scream it at me every single day. 📢“Mom! Did you know there’s only 10 days until Christmas??!! TEN DAYS!!” So since it’s that time of year, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things. If you know me […]
By the time I talk to a new client, they have already visited my website and have fallen in love with specific photos. When we talk about what they want from their photo session, they usually mention the word “candid”. The candid photos are their favorite. They don’t really like being posed. What most don’t […]
I think one of the most important reasons to take photos is to tell your family’s story. We build the narrative day by day, shot by shot, until we can look back through an album (in our hands or on our phone) and see our story. Sometimes it’s easy to forget to add a page […]
