I have been a little absent from the blog these past few days..but for good reason!! Two weeks ago, I signed for my very own office space and studio!! Ahhhh! 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.

As I am currently on the train ride home from NYC, I just cannot contain my excitement about this post!! This shoot has been secretly in the making for MONTHS and, as we arrived in Times Square on Monday, I was squealing with excitement!! We took this NYC trip for my 18th birthday (woohoo!) and […]
The last few days have been full of a mix of emotions. From excitement at RU orientation, to sadness, to doubt, second-guessing and confusion…I was a mess. I couldn’t quite pin-point why, but I just could not get myself together. My mom pointed out that I was over-working myself and booking a session EVERY DAY […]
Whew, it has been a crazy few weeks!! With multiple sessions, two weddings, Jasmine’s workshop AND college orientation in the past month…I’ve been super busy!! (And I head to NYC in two days for my 18th birthday…what!?) But, after spending the last two days at Radford University for Quest (orientation) I am SOOO excited for […]
