Megan and Charles are just the absolute CUTEST couple ever! These photos were for their FOUR year anniversary and I was soooo ecstatic when Megan texted me asking to book a DC session! I shot these two once last summer when I was first kick-starting my business, and I fell in love with them! They […]

I have been obsessing (yes, obsessing) over these photos for the past week and I am SOOO excited to finally share them with everyone! Connor and his family (the fabulous Noonan family!) used to live across the street from me and I have known him since I was very young. We vacation with the Noonans […]

Let me start this post with a HUGE apology for my lack of blogging this week. It’s been a crazy few days (from both a business and personal standpoint) and my creative blogging juices just weren’t flowin’. However, on a super excited note, THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE HERE! AHHH! I can’t even begin to tell […]

I am SOOOO excited to finally get to share these images from our amazing fairytale styled shoot at Katelyn James Workshop! We had to wait to get the green flag from Katelyn before sharing these on our blog and I was elated when I got the notification on my phone today that we were free […]

(plus, for the guys out there that aren’t too fond of being behind the camera, they’re quick and painless 🙂 ) I also love giving the opportunity for a […]

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 […]

Jennifer called me a few weeks back and asked me if we could schedule a session in the snow. I was SO excited because I LOVE shooting in the snow…but also a little bit sad because there was none of it in the forecast any time soon. Then, out of no where, snowmaggedon came to […]

Let me just start off by saying that my day prior to this session was just NOT my day. I was not feeling well, didn’t get a good night’s sleep and everything seemed to be going wrong! It was topped off once I arrived at the location for the session when I put my keys down […]

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!
