How To Support Your Friend's Small Business!

I have some of the most supportive community around me. The people in my corner who are cheering me and my business on are more than I could have ever prayed for. I don’t know how I got so lucky to be friends with these people.

Today’s post is all about how you can be that for YOUR friends! Friends who are musicians, designers, communicators, photographers, etc. Sharing art is hard! But having friends who care make it so much easier. In honor of my first Small Business Saturday as a small business owner, read for some tips on how to support your friend’s small business with advice from some of my closest friends!

Fabricio + Amer // Marietta Couple Session

Who else is wishing for those warmer days, when the sun sets at 9 pm, and endless ice cream dates. Although let’s be real, I’m getting Jeni’s year-round. If you have a Jeni’s in your city, go now and get the lavender flavor. Just trust me.

Scroll through some of my favorite moments of this adorable summer lovin’ session.

What's in My Camera Bag?

Whatever you are shooting on now though, do not discount it! Having the best, most expensive gear means nothing if you don’t know how to use it, the eye for good shots, the directing skills for clients, and knowledge on how to edit. I learned everything I could from that Rebel T5 and then upgraded when I decided it was time to take that next step and invest in higher quality equipment.

I'm a Beginner to Photography! Help! Part 1

Now that you’ve decided to take the next step from iPhone photographer, I’m here to help you figure out where to even begin. Photography is more than pushing a button and applying your favorite VSCO filter. Yes, there are automated settings and things to help you make it easier, but to be a true photographer, you should learn how to shoot in manual, what programs are necessary, and more!

Brice + Ansley // Atlanta Family Session

This session was the epitome of my dream session. My main goal with whoever I am shooting whether it’s a couple, wedding, family, or senior, is to truly capture the moment not a pose and to make them feel the most comfortable in an uncomfortable circumstance (being in front of the camera). So here’s to more puppies at sessions and more Lime scooter adventures!

Let's Get This Party Started!

Welp—HA! Here I am. Blogging, again! This time I’m not going to pretend to be someone I’m not, I’m not going to pretend to know what I’m talking about, and I’m not going to pretend that I’m going to be consistent with this because let’s be real. However, I do promise that I will try, that I will be intentional about each post, and that I am going to have fun with this!

Howdy There!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Since launching my website in August, I have been meaning to start this blog and by meaning to, I mean procrastinating. Hardcore. I am not the best writer, so bear with me, but I hope my posts will help you with a few things.
