Lately, I have been getting alot of questions about the process of sessions and why they cost so much.  I don’t take offense to this at all, because I too didn’t know how much actually went into owning your own business and how much of your time is taken up. Its natural to think of […]

One thing that I wanted to be different than alot of photographers is my turnaround with the pictures after a photo shoot!  I know some do 2-4 weeks or longer if its a wedding.  I totally understand if a photographer has alot of sessions and trying to get them out to everyone in a short […]

We had alot of feedback when we posted about finding your brand.  We love to help people try and find ideas for their goals and dreams.  Before I meet a client, I always ask what style of pictures and what ideas do they have in mind.  Of course we have our own style, but I […]

Its true, I got my dream lens.  I have waited over a year to get it.  Even though I wanted to get the f/1.4, I got the f/1.8, which is a triple amount in savings.  It is mostly for portraits, which I do most in my business.  I can’t wait to share with you all […]

The post before I shared with you some changes that are coming in 2019.  This post will be about that I will not be doing anymore photo sessions after the 9th of December until the beginning of the […]
