How we feel after coming back from our ski vacation! 💃🎿Time off and rest is so important, but is really hard for me to do. I have a hard time shutting off my brain. I have a very hard time doing nothing, so an active trip such as skiing is ideal for me. 🤪While on vacation I checked my email every morning and updated Insta stories for fun, but for the most part was able to be present. Though my husband has been back for almost a month already, time with each other outside the house was so nice to have. Only having to worry about making it down the ski run I was on was a great feeling. I'm feeling refreshed and like I have an even clearer vision for the future.✨ Happy Friday friends! 🎉 
3 Reasons to Blog As a Wedding Photographer:💻 . . 1. Diversify your reach. If you’re relying ONLY on Instagram posts to bring you wedding leads, you’re missing out. By diversifying the platforms potential couples can find you on, you can take the pressure off of your Instagram to do the work for you. You don’t have to rely on an always changing social media algorithm. . . 2. Show up on Google. By having a website that is SEO friendly AND posting blog posts with keywords to boost your SEO, potential couples can potentially find you through a Google search! . . 3. Establish your credibility and authority. When couple’s visit your website and can look through blog posts of weddings you’ve photographed before, it establishes your credibility as a photographer. Maybe a couple finds you by searching for weddings at their venue. Now you stand out because you’ve worked at their venue before! It builds their trust in you as a professional. . . . I could keep going on and on, but I’ll save the rest for another post. Do you blog your weddings and sessions? What keeps you from getting them posted? I’d love to know and answer any questions I can! 👇 
Adina & Matt moved from DC to Colorado in 2018 for a change of pace and to enjoy the outdoors more. 🏔Matt even proposed to Adina on the top of a mountain this past fall. 💍These hiking lovers wanted a mountain feel for their engagement session, so we went to a few of my easily accessible mountain spots in Colorado Springs. 👌We had perfect weather, gorgeous views, and lots of laughs!🤗 
If you're a Schitt's Creek fan, you'll LOVE the song this couple chose for their first dance. ✨Patrick's cover of "Simply the Best" that he sang to serenade David was their first dance song. 🤗My Schitt's Creek heart was so full watching them dance to that song.😭 
Tayelor & Isaac didn’t do a first look, but we still had time after the ceremony to do all the photos they needed! 👏Most of the time I try to knock out both groomsmen and bridesmaid group photos before the ceremony. We ended up doing these bridesmaids photos after the ceremony with no problem at all! The key? Having a timeline, an organized family photo list, and an efficient photographer (hi, that’s me🙋♀️). With each wedding couple, I help plan out a photography timeline for the day that makes sure we have enough time for all the photos that are important to them. 🤗 
This couple goes to the CrossFit gym I coach at, so when we scheduled their engagement session a few months ago I knew it’d be a fun session! Getting to photograph people I know personally is always such a joy! 🤗
