Michael and I loved our 2015 wedding season! We loved it because we love our KJ Brides and Grooms but we ALSO loved it because we had so many opportunities to shoot at new-to-us venues!! Woohoo! This is a guaranteed way to stay fresh and creative!! It’s like a fresh canvas for me! Now don’t get me wrong… I LOVE shooting at my favorite venues over and over again but every now and then, it’s fun to have something new!

Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
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.
