A long time ago…. like a year ago I believe, I create a few mini videos for my website company Showit to use for a project they were working on. I recently realized that I NEVER shared them with my people!!! …. and that’s you guys! :) I receive questions weekly asking about anything from what I wear to weddings to how do you shoot bridal details and how do you do it consistently? This details question is a great one! It’s hard to shoot really awesome, cohesive details when you only have 30-40 minutes before the bride is getting in her dress! The trick it to think of a theme and stick with it. This is all because of the album…
which is the end product! And when you shoot cohesively for an album, it makes your work flow better in a blog post as well! A bride’s detail shots should match the look and feel of the wedding day but sometimes, you’re not a in getting ready location that matches the look of the venue where you’ll be shooting the rest of the day! So this video will help explain how I handle situations like that!! I’m actually really excited to share this because I think it will be super helpful for some newer and more experienced photographers out there that struggle in this area! Ps. Bokeh makes a little debut half way through. He was only 10 months at the time! Cutie!! :) (Ps. Video is BELOW, not at the opening of the post!)
Thanks for reading!

When it comes to wedding photography, the right lens can make all the difference. But let’s be honest—gear can get expensive. So when Canon introduced the RF 85mm f/2.0—a lens with portrait, macro, and image stabilization capabilities for just $500—I knew I had to put it to the test.
Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.
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?
