I remember sitting across from a sweet blonde girl in my office during her coaching session. Her hair was streaked with color and her voice was soft and quiet. She had the sweetest spirit and such a gentle humbleness about her. I remember thinking that she was so kind and after learning about her story, I just wanted the best for her new business. Little did I know that a few years after that meeting in my office, I would get to be the one capturing her colorful wedding day!!

When you think about your business, do you see it as simply a job—or something more?
Today, I’m diving into an experience that was nothing like I anticipated: my digital detox in December. If you’ve ever considered taking a break from the noise of the online world, you might relate to my journey—the good, the surprising, and the, well, completely unplanned.
The wedding industry has faced unique challenges recently, with inflation affecting budgets and couples cutting costs. If you’re a wedding photographer feeling the pinch, don’t worry—2025 doesn’t have to be a slow year.
