One of the questions I get asked the most is what kind of photography gear I use. I remember when I was first starting out, I looked and asked for guidance from other photographer friends. As I got more established in my photography business, I was able to figure out the kind of camera and […]

I shot Shelby and Josh’s engagement photos at Glencliff Manor a few weeks ago. Between our move to NoVa, selling our home in Lynchburg and buying a house in Northern Virginia, I did not get a chance to post their engagement session until now.

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.
