But, there is one TINY thing we could be doing differently that could change the GAME for our social media marketing…and I’m unveiling […]

Ya’ll…prepare yourselves for the ultimate DREAM of a Charleston senior session!!! Nichole traveled into Charleston for me to capture memories of her graduating from law school (she’s an absolute rockstar!) and, because she is a photographer herself, her attention to detail blew me away! She had the BEST outfits, cutest prop ideas and even rented […]

Build Your Senior Photography Business

I began my business during my junior year of high school, and fell in love with photography while capturing all of my peers and their senior portraits. I built a six-figure photography business on my passion for senior clients - and now I help hundreds of photographers across the globe do the same! 

Free downloads, blog posts, YouTube videos, online courses and memberships... I have it a resource for you!
