This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
Tyler’s work brought him to the East coast where he met Abby. We walked around the streets of the capitol and heard their story, talked about their careers, their wedding plans and how this year has been anything but normal. 2020 is a hard year for wedding planning and an even a harder year for teachers. Abby spends her days pouring into her students and her free time planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. In the midst of such an uncertain and chaotic time, it was such a treat to do this shoot. It was peaceful and beautiful and I hope that Tyler and Abby enjoyed it as much as Michael and I! This was our last shoot of the season and we just kept telling them how wonderful it was to end our crazy year with such a fantastic session and such an incredible couple. We cannot WAIT to see these two again! Enjoy my favorites from this beautiful session at the nation’s capitol! You’re going to love these two just as much as we do!!!
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? Over the last few months, I’ve been on a medical rollercoaster that I never saw coming.
If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’m always looking for ways to do life differently. Whether it’s in business, family, or personal growth, I’ve learned that stepping away from the norm often leads to the most profound transformations.
In today’s world, the idea of a “healthy home” can feel overwhelming. With constant information about toxins, processed foods, and environmental risks, it’s easy to feel defeated before you even start. So I’m sharing our journey and the small, impactful steps we’ve taken towards a healthier home.
Wedding days can be incredibly stressful for everyone involved. Photographers, brides, grooms, and guests alike often find themselves overwhelmed by the schedule and the numerous details that need attention. However, there are key “in-between” moments throughout the day that can be leveraged to create a smoother experience and better outcomes. As the photographer, you can calm the nerves of everyone there and capture their day beautifully!
This week, Michael is sitting down with me at the microphone to join me on the podcast! When we started our Acton Academy journey, we had big dreams and very little idea of the practical challenges that lay ahead. Today, in year three of running our own Acton Academy, Michael and I are thrilled to reflect on the incredible transformation we’ve seen in our learners, our community, and even our own perspectives on education.
Photography is an art that thrives on creativity and technique. If you don’t have the basics of lighting and posing down, this tip won’t work- but if you’re looking to elevate your style, this is for you!!
