Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of my Mastermind retreat which is the grand finale of 6 months together with an incredible group of 12 business owners I’ve been coaching! This is my high-level coaching program that I only do twice a year where I help these business owners move from service-based photographers into […]

It is kind of insane to think about…but it has officially been almost ONE FULL YEAR since I moved from Charleston, SC to Savannah, GA! Time really does fly. A couple years ago, after living in Charleston for a bit, I created a blog post called The Ultimate Charleston Travel Guide. It is STILL one […]

We’ve been chatting back and forth for a few weeks now planning all of the details […]

Well…this post is extra special. Last week, I got to photograph my beautiful little sister’s senior portraits as she prepares to graduate high school. Even as I’m typing those words, I cant believe them!!! If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that Abby had brain surgery last May and has been through a […]

One of my favorite things about moving to Charleston is that I get to photograph SO many sweet clients that AREN’T local! Over the last few months, I have found myself photographing so many amazing senior clients that are in town for the summer but live all over the US. Come to find out…Ella is […]
