Our life has been a whirlwind in the best kind of way this summer! Life sure looks a lot different than it did just a few years ago and it’s about to change AGAIN!
This week on Youtube, we’re having another heart-to-heart with some BIG life updates to our business and family! I’ll let you in on some of the behind the scenes things that have been going on plus exciting things to come!
I launched a Mastermind for high level business owners
I love talking about business with people and I have been loving this mastermind! Every person in this mastermind is an online educator to some capacity! There are a few photography educators and several other industries represented! It has been really interesting to see different perspectives and be introduced to so many new concepts! We’re only two calls in and it’s been amazing!!!
We’re starting a school
You might have seen this by now, but it’s actually happening! Like in a few days, kids will be showing up for their first day of school! This has been the biggest project we have undertaken, and we knew it would be a lot of work but it has been more than we could expect!! We cannot wait for these young heroes to use this space to create and learn!! If you want to follow along, you can HERE!
We became commercial developers
As we have gone down the path of launching our own Acton Academy, we have accidentally because commercial developers! We have spent countless hours in community meetings, sending emails to government officials, and sorting through regulations being thrown at us left and right. It’s wild. There have been so many hoops to jump through that we never saw coming! The work and the effort are worth the hurdles and the stress. We know that this is something we’re called to and cannot wait to see the school year begin!
And finally last but not least….
I’M PREGNANT!!
I can hardly believe I’m even saying that still! I’m still in shock.. but we are SO excited to have another BABY BOY joining our family! I’m due in the middle of February and it seems like the weeks are flying by! We are praying for a healthy baby at our 20 week ultrasound and are constantly reassuring Evy that she’s going to be an amazing QUEEN of the brothers! :)
So with allll of the things happening, we are realizing that we need to be super intentional with the time we’re pouring into Youtube, so we’re taking a two week break to brainstorm what content is going to best serve our audience!! If you have any suggestions, post them in the comments on Youtube!

As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
