I love taking Monument Terrace engagement pictures! It has quickly become one of my favorite spots for sessions because of the light colored walls and floors. I’ve shot here in almost every season of the year and it never disappoints. Luke and Claire’s engagement session was no exception. This sweet couple is getting married in […]

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.
