July Fun

We have been having a ton of fun around here — Flowers ae booming, Senior sessions are in full swing, and adventures have been plenty — but unfortunately fire season is upon us!

Those pesky fires make for some poor air quality but on the flips side, some great pictures! Just because there isn’t clear blue skies. This doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun! Some of my most favorite pictures come from this time of year — The colors in the sky can be mesmerizing. We do take precautions and watch for air quality alerts and stay inside the studio if need be.

For this month though, we have been taking some adventures and traveling A LOT! It has been a lot of fun but to quote Dorothy — There is no place like home! Even the dogs enjoy exploring but crash when they get home.

Just as a reminder, the 2021 Wedding season is pretty well booked (reach out though — We still have some open spots), but we are booking into 2022 already! Look at the Pricing tab to see the packages I offer plus the services included. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Sessions — What to Expect?!

First, you should check out the Tips tab. There’s great information to guide you through your session!

Honestly, I really enjoy having fun and not having “staged” poses . I might ask you to do something that sounds crazy but I promise — It will look amazing!

If you need help with outfits/styles/coordination, honestly send me a message! I would be more than happy to help you out and take some stress off your hands.

Which brings me to my next thought – Please don’t stress!! Photo shoots are supposed to be fun and carefree 🙂 The camera can be intimidating, but it’s an inanimate object – It won’t bite and the only thing it will do is make a click and capture a moment in time 🙂

Your session will range from 1-2ish hours. I have found much longer and we both start to get tired. Any shorter and the relaxing in front of the camera doesn’t happen.

I snap away to capture all the moments and you’ll get all the pictures on a drive. I choose a subset to edit (if need be). I honestly don’t like a lot of editing with my pictures because I don’t want your pictures to look “fake”. My goal is to capture your moments in time and not change those memories!

Last but not least, price…… Prices range from $149 – $199 or possibly less if I have a sale. Currently, I have the Senior Session sale going with 50% off for 2022 graduating seniors 🙂 I typically try to have sales going or other fun events going monthly! The best place to see if I have a sale or event would be Facebook! Go like and follow my Facebook page in order to stay up to date on the latest and greatest offerings!

A month of Goals — January 2021

I started the year out with many goals. First one being picking up my camera some more for fun! I was gifted some great accessories around the holiday season and I wanted to try them out! Second was to post at least month on my blog — check back regularly to keep me accountable. Thirdly to just grow — not only as a person but my business. I’m looking forward to branching out and build on my skills!

In picking up my camera more this month, I captured some great moments! Forcing myself to get out even in the worst of conditions was a GREAT challenge. I loved being able to play around without the pressure. Goals are there to push you and make you better. Pushing myself to take pictures in less than ideal situations was a great start to the new year. I am looking forward to what 2021 has to bring!

This was one of my favorite pictures from the month and it was the top picture on my Instagram account for January as well! The picture came from one cloudy night, with a short sunset that burned the sky — In a manner of minutes these colors and clouds had disappeared into the night!
