that’s what we feel like!! Straight up gypsies! We’ve been staying at a different hotel the last three nights, living out of our rental car’s trunk and I even got ready in Target’s “Family Style” bathroom this evening! I locked the door and made it my own personal bathroom since we didn’t have time to check into our hotel before I spoke tonight. I changed, did my makeup and then plugged my curling iron in. The SCARY thing is that I placed the curling iron in the sink and while it heated up, I leaned forward to put on my mascara
and my movement triggered the automatic faucet and water started pouring all over my electrified curling iron!!! I quickly snatched the cord out of the wall and then realized that that would have been a horrible (and embarrassing) way to die!! Luckily, no harm was done! After that minor fiasco, I met Michael at the car and we headed over to meet the Scobey’s to prep for the photog meetup that took place in Atlanta last night! Ashley and I met back at the P31 conference outside of Atlanta and I casually mentioned that I would be back around Atlanta for a wedding in the spring and she invited me to speak at their Smug group! Fun!
So that’s what we did! We spent yesterday morning visiting Samford with a sweet friend and then we drove back to Atlanta (see, gypsies I tell you!) to meet some of the SWEETEST photographers ever! We were greeted by such warm, welcoming faces in Atlanta last night and I feel so honored to have shared some time with these awesome people in our industry!! Here’s a mini group shot thanks to Brita Photography:):)
Have a great a great Tuesday everyone and get excited to see Josh and Amanda’s beautiful wedding tomorrow!! Here’s a little sneak peek!
Thanks for reading!

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?

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.
