2014 was a year that I will always remember. There were so many firsts, a ton of amazing moments, endless new friends, countless milestones and too many wonderful clients to count. This post is a little late in the game compared to some others, but I’m okay with that!! It’s been a super hectic few weeks, […]

Wow. That is one of the only words that I can think of to properly begin this post. I had the privilege of spending the last three days in Staunton, Virginia for the oh-so-wonderful Creative at Heart Conference, and I can’t quite put into words how amazing it was. For those of you that don’t […]

Oh goodness…it has been a CRAZY few months!! October and November are a photographer’s dream and biggest nightmare at the same time! We LOOOOOVE shooting so much during this gorgeous time of year, but we are SO. BUSY. If you have a friend or family member that is a photographer…go give them a hug today, […]

For months, I have been begging and begging for a puppy with no success. Last Valentine’s Day, my parents got me a golden retriever puppy, but I ended up having to give her to another family because I was unable to give her the attention that she deserved. Ever since then, I have regretted that […]

I haven’t had a chance to blog about it because I’ve been working on decorating, getting acclimated with college workload, editing, shooting and…did I mention […]

As I am typing this, I am riding in the car on the way to the CLIC Conference in Alexandria! Woooo! (Shoutout to my dad for driving and making it possible to blog + ride at the same time) Cannot wait for what this week will hold!! I feel so blessed every day to have […]

One of the questions that I get asked most frequently, from both friends + fellow photographers, is “how do you balance your business and your personal life?” This is a pretty huge question, and the thing that I struggle with the most. Being a student, friend, daughter, girlfriend, big sister AND professional photographer is SO crazy, […]

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!
