Not gonna lie…I feel icky writing this. I want this note to be all inspirational and stuff, like I always have it together. But I don’t. I’m making it up as I go along. SHHH, LET’S KEEP THIS A SECRET BETWEEN US, SHALL WE? I feel icky because I recently responded to a proposed contract with a […]
On a recent trip, I left my book behind to catch up on work but couldn’t pass up the latest issue of Harvard Business Review…
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with so much to do to grow your business. That’s why today, I wanted to break it down and give you three simple tips to help jumpstart your business…
I’m really proud of something. Can I just be real? Will it sound like I’m bragging? I’m really good at COLLABORATION. If you’d ask my mother, she’d say it had to do with me being born a twin, but I think it has more to do with finding great people who share similar values and […]
To say I’ve met some amazing people by way of podcasts would be a major understatement. >>Not only are these podcast hosts kind, smart, and good, but they have taught me SO much!<< It’s been an honor to be a guest on the following podcasts, and I’d be honored for you to check them out. […]
Can you believe we’re enjoying the best parts of Fall? I hope the start of autumn has been filled with beautiful memories, deep breaths, and warm beverages in the chilly months…yummmm, just thinking of coffee, spiced lattes, and cider makes me happy! Speaking of that, I’m sending you a behind-the-scenes look at how I photograph […]
One of the technical aspects of photography I struggled with early in my career was shooting wide open, or wider than a f/2.0 aperture. I loved the effect a shallow depth of field had on my photos—the creamy skin tones and sharpness of the resulting image—but most of my photos first shot this way were […]
For most couples, the wedding and/or reception locations are key to adding sentiment to the wedding day. If a photographer can find ways to break out of the “traditional” portrait box and incorporate environmental elements of a location site, it’s a win-win—for both artist and couple. In this video I explain why I prefer keeping […]
Working with a group of any size can be daunting, but if a photographer approaches the situation with an organized action plan, the experience is enjoyable for everyone involved. By making use of a second photographer, you can maximize time and location during group formals to produce photos you’ll be proud of. Did I mention […]
Photographing portraits of the bride and/or groom is one of my favorite moments and a true honor. I have a penchant for editorial-style posing, but my goal is always to ensure that when a bride looks back at a photo of herself on her wedding day, she feels it’s the truest representation of who she […]
My mama raised me to believe that if I could take what I have and make it work, then it’d lead me to even greater things in the future. I’ve learned to apply this belief to many aspects of my life, including photographing a wedding dress. Often times photographing a wedding dress indoors is difficult […]
Every couple I photograph is as unique as their personalized wedding day. They’ve chosen a venue to represent their love, a place that embodies the spirit of their union. If they opt to see each other before the ceremony, it’s important that I (the photographer) orchestrate an optimal experience for both bride and groom. There […]
My preference will always be to shoot in natural light, but it’s nice to feel confident using artificial light (a flash or video light) when you need to make the most of any space in any given situation. Often times photographers will face the challenge of difficult lighting scenarios—especially during bride and/or groom preparation. In […]
The How of photographing reception details isn’t as important as the Why, but when you combine these two factors, it’ll strengthen a photographer’s decision making abilities on a wedding day. I explain how making small adjustments to reception details can enhance the overall photo and the types of photos I capture to ensure the bride, […]
There’ve been moments I’ve held my breath and hoped for a miracle arriving to a location, only to discover there’s not a lot to work with. Other times, I’ve let out a sigh of relief, knowing what’s in front of me is a workable space to get creative. Finding a location for a First Look […]
Occasionally I’m afforded the luxury of photographing industry peers amongst their creativity and hard work. In this video, I worked with a wedding coordinator in Hollywood who designed an editorial wedding photo shoot for marketing purposes. In addition to photographing her ideas come to life, I asked her to pose for a portrait since she […]
Life is about to get a whole lot easier.
Desperate for change, I created a Productivity Planner to help streamline my workflow and I kissed stress goodbye.
