That’s right! VEGAS! I’m staring at the MGM Grand sign as we speak…. or type….. I’m running low on sleep so this is going to be short and sweet! Basically we left the house at 4:40 AM and have been going ever since! WHAT A DAY! For those of you who don’t know, Jessica Smith and I are attending the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photography International) conference this week and let me tell you, IT’S INTENSE!… and a tad overwhelming at times but it got ALOT better when we randomly ran into J* in the lobby!! Yes, the Jasmine Star and I’ll admit I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I kind of squealed/yelled/freaked out for a split second…….
it just caught me off guard! What are the odds?! It was an honor to talk to her and thank her for being an incredible inspiration and teacher. She’s just as bubbly, genuine, and beautiful in person and I loved getting the opportunity to meet her!


So needless to say… I pumped about the next 3 days! I’m going to be bombarded with tons of new info/ideas and I’ll definitely be sharing it all with you!!

Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!


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.

When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!


This session is beautiful… if I do say so myself! It’s colorful, it’s vibrant, it’s full of joy and it’s also LONG! It’s a lengthy post because I just had so many favorites and I absolutely loved my time with these two last week! Paige, like a lot of our brides, is a photographer herself! She’s talented, full of life, energetic and creative. I felt the pressure to take this location that she knows well and make it look fresh and knew to her!! Nikhil is an audio engineer for Apple (which we think is fascinating!) and despite hardly ever wearing a suit, he wore one for Paige and made all of her outfit dreams come true!
