Here’s what happens. I do a workshop and I get so excited about it that I share the Behind the Scenes posts almost immediately!! Then, we get to work on the styled shoot images and submit them! They get featured and we get excited all over again but we forget to BLOG them!! Ah! This shoot is from LAST February!! And this was a very special workshop for many reasons!
First, our sweet models were Mark and Emily!! We just adore these two! Emily is a Birth Photographer (Ps. She’s hosting a workshop with Liz Cook for Birth Photography and you should check it out HERE!) and Mark is a dentist! I owe Mark BIG TIME for coming down for this shoot. Not only did he close the office early, he also drove several hours in the SNOW to model with Emily. Once he arrived, he got all dressed up and then stood in sub-zero temps and acted like it wasn’t a miserable day for a shoot!!
This leads me to the NEXT reason why it was a very special workshop! It wasn’t just 5 degrees… it was SNOWING! Because of the single digit temps and the snow, Amanda had to design everything in the garage with a space heater in order to keep the flowers from FREEZING!! Now THAT is dedication!!! WOW! We are so thankful for that girl! She works so hard for us and always makes sure our workshops happen NO MATTER WHAT!!
Enjoy some of my FAVORITES from this styled shoot and be sure to leave some love for the crew that made this happen! Everyone had to sacrifice some extra time, comfort and energy to make this a reality and we are blessed to have a team that would do that for us!!!
thank you!

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.
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!!
In this episode of “Doing Life Differently”, I sat down with my friend Catherine Guidry, a luxury wedding photographer and educator, to discuss the challenges and rewards of personal branding. Cat and I dug deep into how sharing more of ourselves—while still maintaining boundaries—can transform our businesses, relationships, and personal lives.
This is not a technical review filled with specs, but rather a practical perspective on how the R6 Mark II performs in everyday photography situations!
I had the pleasure of chatting with Erica and Jon, two incredibly talented photographers and educators who have redefined their business and life by embracing change. From leaving a corporate career to transforming their wedding photography business into a thriving brand photography venture, their story is full of inspiration for anyone looking to take bold steps and live life on their own terms.
