Amazon Prime Day 2026 Deals look a little different for me this year, and honestly, I never thought I’d be saying that. Can I tell you something funny? A few months ago, if you had asked me what I’d be shopping for on Prime Day, I would’ve said camera gear, hard drives, and maybe some […]

LU graduation pictures have been keeping me busy lately, and Lexi’s session at Liberty University was such a special one. The second I saw her dog wearing a little “Class of 2026” bandana, I knew this session was going to be fun. And somehow, it got even cuter when we put Lexi’s graduation cap on […]

I started my business after getting my first DSLR camera as a wedding gift — I knew next to nothing about photography, but I loved it.
In the beginning, I was afraid to tell anyone that I was starting a photography business. I thought they wouldn’t take me seriously, and might even make fun of me.
The thing is: now I talk to photographers all the time who are dealing with the same insecurities I had when I was just starting out — Turns out, ain’t nobody got time to be afraid of their dreams!
That’s why I teach the same systems and formulas that made me into the confident photographer I am today to photographers just like you.
