DOUBLE HEADER WEEKEND here we go!!! All the cameras are cleaned and packed, batteries are charged, cards are formatted, schedules are typed up, family shot lists are ready to go, Red Bull (orange flavor, alway) is purchased!! In case you didn’t know, SO much more goes into shooting a wedding than just showing up. And when you’ve got two back to back, you got to be double prepared!! I’m so pumped for a weekend full of weddings!!! 😍❤️

I worked an actual 9-5 today!!! Okay maybe not an actual one, but I was in my office today editing and doing all the Monday work stuff from 9-5 today and after taking a little over a week off, it felt pretty good!! Excited to wrap up a couple wedding galleries this week and get ready for a double header this weekend!! 🎉💪🏻❤️

I cannot believe these two are getting married tomorrow!!! It feels like just yesterday Jonathan was proposing to Hannah!! For those of you that may not know, Hannah and I actually went to preschool together! When my family moved away from Selma when I was little, I didn’t connect with Hannah again until college!! So excited and blessed to witness her and Jonathan step into marriage together!

What a special engagement session!! Bailey and John live in Tampa, so trying to find a good time for their engagement session is tricky! When I told her I would be in Fairhope this weekend she told me it was perfect because her family has a house in Josephine, Alabama. And y’all, it was PERFECT!!! Such a special place for them and such a beautiful backdrop for their engagement session! I can’t wait for their wedding day! ❤️

BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA IS AWKWARD 👆🏻Just saying what we are all thinking… 👇🏻 I get it, being in front of the camera is totally awkward because you don’t know how you look, what to do with your hands, are you posed properly, etc 👫🏼 That is why I always make sure of these 3 things when I have clients in front of my camera! 1- I always check in with you on any areas of your body that maybe you are self conscious about! No shame here friend, if you don’t like it - we will try to hide it! 2- I make sure that I keep you moving! If you are laughing, walking, or dancing you forget about that darn camera right in front of you! 3- We keep it simple! No complicated poses over here! Trust me, there is no way to mess it up or make it awkward! Just natural, fun, and relaxed is my motto! 👇🏻 So, who is ready to hop in front of my camera for a session!?

Yepp, that’s me today!! We are heading off to the beach tomorrow and won’t be back until next Friday!! I’m so excited to spend time with family!!

Oh, hey there! Are you new around here or are you a long time BFF? Either way, I want to say THANK YOU for being here and I thought I would share a few fun facts - lightning round style! 1️⃣ Been in Business full time for over 3 years now!2️⃣Favorite work day snack popcorn (I’m a huge popcorn fan) 3️⃣ Go - to coffee order would have to just be black with a little cream.. I know boring 4️⃣ Favorite place to photograph - a pretty downtown scene with gorgeous light 5️⃣ Dream shoot destination would have to be Lake Como, Italy! 6️⃣ My pet’s name is Coast (original spelled Koste like the mountain range but everyone kept pronouncing it wrong 🤣) 7️⃣ The one business app I can’t live without @planoly!! Now it is YOUR turn! Share with me your favorite starbucks drink and let’s see how many of you have something in common!

My brides often tell me, “ My fiance hates photos,” but can I be honest? All of my grooms ROCK their photos! Seriously they are naturals. In case you are still a little unsure, here are 4 easy tips to help your grooms be comfortable in front of the camera! Let him help pick the outfits and location! If he is happy and feels a-part of it, then he will look natural and relaxed in photos! Let date night after your session be something he enjoys! Does he have a favorite restaurant or sports bar he likes going to? Maybe a movie he has been dying to see? Make that the date night stop after your photos! It will give him something to be excited about and look forward to! Show him one of my engagement session blogs so he knows what to expect! Don’t remind him that he hates photos! Seriously don’t make a big deal out of it! The more pressure you put on photos, the more uncomfortable he may feel! Keep it light, fun, and enjoyable for him!

Expectation of sitting down to edit photos - A cup of coffee, my planner opened up to my to-do list, and my favorite spotify playlist 💃 Reality of editing photos - 3 empty coffee mugs, messy bun, half eaten lunch off to the side, and me wondering where the last 3 hours went 💁🏼♀️ Any other photographers relate?

3 things you need to know before hiring me as your photographer...💁🏼♀️ I fully plan on being a 3rd wheel at your engagement session and on your wedding day I MIGHT end up under your veil with both you and your new husband getting a really up close picture while you kiss … sorry, not sorry. You’ll thank me later. I will stalk the waiters at your wedding when the cake comes out! I burn a lot of calories shooting a wedding so a slice with extra frosting is needed to cover the dance floor later in the night! Basically, we will become great friends and I am all for you inviting me to your cake testing! 🍰

Alright fellas!! Let’s talk about YOU for a second. I remember early in my business quickly realizing that the majority of the attention falls on the bride. And while this is totally normal, I don’t think it has to be the case. This is YOUR day too. You need a little attention and appreciation! I know being in front of the camera isn’t what your most excited about, but I promise I’ll make it super easy!! 🕺🏻

💃💃💃💃~ My reaction when clients send reviews my way! ✨ Swipe to check out the sweet email sent my way earlier this week from one of my seniors! I shoot SO MANY seniors in such a short amount of time, burnout can sometimes creep in. But when I get such sweet emails like this, I feel like a brand new person ready to shoot 100 more!!! 💪🏻❤️🥰

One of my favorite ring shots! ⬆️ 💍 Brides! Do you want to help your photographer capture some drop-dead gorgeous ring shots of your ring?! Here’s a few tips on making sure that happens! 1️⃣ Make sure you have all three rings in the getting room with you when your photographer arrives! This allows them to get plenty of variety in shots! 2️⃣ Make sure you clean your ring the week of your wedding! You want it to sparkler and catch every bit of light that comes it way! 3️⃣ Grab yourself a ring box from @the_mrs_box in a color that compliments your wedding colors! 4️⃣ Ask your florist to bring some leftover flowers from your arrangements to your getting ready room! Your photographer can use those to style shots! 5️⃣ Make sure you have your invitation set on hand! These can work as great ring shot backdrops - especially if they have artwork on them! ( the photo above I actually used the back of the invitation! ) 💍

Woah!! What a crazy day it’s been! Called last night about a cute little ford transit in Atlanta, drove this morning to get it only to find out it sold last night. After visiting 2 other locations, having the cars sell literally while we were looking at them, hanging at a dealership for over 4 hours haggling over an oversized van we weren’t really sure we wanted, we decided to head back home!! Exhausted!! But, we aren’t letting this disappointing day crush our dreams!! Hoping to get our little Norman (that’s the name we came up with 🤣) and start converting it soon! ☺️ #vanlife

Hey all you cool cats and kittens!! 🐅 It’s Friday and I have a lot of new faces around here so I thought I’d share a little about me! But, since we’re all on like day 16839 of quarantine I think I’ll share some things I’ve been learning through all of this!! . ▫️ Baking bread is equally as rewarding as it is unrewarding. I mean really, why does something so warm and fluffy and full of goodness has to be so high in calories?! 😋 ▫️ It’s okay to get up at 6am, but it’s also okay to roll out of bed at 8am.. 🤣 I mean really, what are you rushing off too?! . ▫️ There’s two options laying before us small business owners.. pivot or panic. You can either freak out during this time or you can take it as an opportunity to grow areas of your business you didn’t have time to do before ▫️ I feel more connected with others now than I did before. Isn’t that crazy?! Maybe it’s because we all are sharing in this craziness together, but I feel like I have more social “media” interaction with fellow creatives than I did before, and I’m loving it!! ❤️ ▫️ Wild, Wild Country was a better documentary than Tiger King!!! 😬 there, I said it!!! Thanks for the recommendation @the.life.of.pi_per !! . . Tell me something you’ve learned during this time of quarantine!! I’d love to hear it!! 👇🏻

Being productive while working from home can be HARD!! For some of you guys, this may be the first time you’ve had to juggle home life and work life!! On the blog I’m sharing my top tips on how to be productive when working from home! Here’s a few to get you started!! . 1️⃣ Have a sleep schedule and stick to it!! Right now it could be so easy to forego your normal sleep schedule and stay up late and sleep in, but I promise, sticking to your normal sleep schedule will help you be productive!! . 2️⃣ Know when you’re most focused! For some people the morning is when they are most focused and productive, but I’ve found that I can get the bulk of my work done around 1-4pm!! . 3️⃣ Have a “clock-out” time!! This is so important. Time can slip away from you and if you don’t make it a priority to stop working at a certain time, you could end up working way past 5pm!! Click the link in my bio to read 5 more of my top tips on how to be productive when working from home!!!

I think we can all agree these are some crazy and stressful times we’re all going through right now. Weddings are getting rescheduled, even canceled. Portrait sessions are continuously getting pushed back. We’re watching weird shows like Tiger King. (Hate I just admired that 🤣). So much is out of our control. There’s really only two ways to look at things. Negatively, or positively. Some days there’s a little mix of both. Hang in there people, we’ve got this!!
