In the past couple of years, I’ve been fortunate enough to host photography workshops in Australia, New Zealand, England, Malaysia, and across the US. Today I’m thrilled to show a sneak peek of how things unfold! The ever-amazing Dave Katague of Finely Cut joined me when I taught in Sydney recently, and when we sent […]

Words can’t express how EXCITED I am to return to creativeLIVE next month for what promises to be a great opportunity to learn and thrive. If you’re at a place in your business where you need a jolt to shake things up, or if you’re just starting in your journey to photography, I’m hosting a […]

When I first arrive on a wedding day, I take time to collect everything I need in advance while I have the bride’s attention. After I enter the room, I say hello, usually give her a hug and then ask for the details she wants photographed. However, prior to this, I’ve emailed and asked her […]

One of my favorite moments as a wedding photographer is the time I get to spend capturing photos of the bride. She’s extraordinarily happy, she looks gorgeous, and it’s an unparalleled time in life.
