I had such an AMAZING time this past Friday!! One of the workshop attendees, Erika, found out last minute that she would not be able to make it to the workhop. So instead, we had a one-on-one mentoring session that was tailored for Erika’s needs and we talked about posing, lighting, editing, post processing workflow […]
Nichole and Paul (Above) were the winners of my most recent giveaway! It was such an honor to work with them! This is something that I get questioned about frequently and something that I have actually been patronized for! I absolutely love doing giveaways (as in giving away a free session, mini session, t-shirt, spot to my […]

Wow…I can’t even describe how amazing today was! I held my very own workshop in my home (my first one!) to teach fellow young photographers about how to use their cameras and how to kick start their very own businesses! We had an amazing time and I was so blessed to be able to work with […]
I can’t even begin to explain how much fun I had with these two at their session last week! I had talked to Ms. Timmons on the phone multiple times before their session and I was so excited to finally meet her and her daughter, Brandi! When we arrived and I saw them walk up […]
I can’t even begin to explain how adorable these two are together! They drove up to our location and the second they stepped out of the car, I knew it was going to be an AMAZING session! (Not to mention we had a random 60 degree day…score!!) They also had the most adorable outfits and we […]
