So 2016 was a huge year for my new business. I am so honored to have my photos being featured by photographers and used by businesses I respect! One of the best things that happened to me professionally (besides staying super busy with such awesome clients) was getting recognized by the Life + Lens […]
Oh my goodness. 2016 was such an amazing year. I can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store. To the many clients who took a chance on me during my first year, thank you. I am so grateful that you took a chance with me, and I hope that you will do so again in 2017!
I think December is a great time, though, to book my favorite type of a session: a documentary session. Family sessions and longer documentary sessions can be done indoors and allow you to capture those holiday traditions.
Do you see photos taken of friends’ families and wonder how they got amazing shots? Despite what many think, the key of an amazing family session is NOT just a good photographer. Parents play a HUGE role in making a family session with young children amazing.
I’ll be honest. I never realized this until I had kids myself. Any good shots we got as a family were not because of anything I did. They are usually the result of the hard work my husband puts in making sure we are all laughing and having fun.
I think giving back is important. My dad and my Jesuit education are to thank…or maybe to blame…for my desire to serve. For most of my childhood, I grew up in a family that didn’t have a lot of money. My dad owned a small corner grocery store in South St. Louis, Clancy’s Market. He […]
My photographer always gave us anywhere from 50-100 images per one hour session. If you come by my house, you’ll see her art in just about every room of the house. While I love that we have her prints everywhere, my favorite way to showcase her photographs (and really all of the photographs I love that have ever taken, too) is on the Apple TV.
This is my favorite. Why you may ask? This family didn’t even make a big deal about wearing the same type of shoe. And the one year old could walk, but most of the time in the portrait shots he was being held. Yet I was still able to sneak in something that was obviously important to them. I love capturing the details. It’s the journalist in me. I love looking for how a family connects, how they react to each other, how they love each other, finding what they love.
One thing I have realized is that no matter which hat I am wearing—teacher, mom, wife, photographer, dog mom, military spouse—it’s important to find mentors.
