Have you ever felt like a force (God, the universe, the great spaghetti monster in the sky) was nudging you towards something? For the past few months, I’ve been noticing these nudges. They come while I’m listening to a podcast, reading a post on Instagram, and countless other tiny instances. Most recently, I received more…
From Trader Joe’s crew member to photography business owner With everything that is happening right now, I have been feeling grateful that I took the leap to full-time photographer 4 years ago. Yes, my business is taking a hit at the moment. However, I feel fortunate that I get to stay home and shelter in…
The Family Narrative – Atlanta, GA When I arrived at The Family Narrative last year I felt excited but also terribly nervous. I knew from the facebook group and other photographers who had been previous years that this was a close group of women (now they have a few men attending), all super talented photographers….

I’m often bugging my friends and family to watch a show or listen to a podcast that I found interesting…
Happy Giving Tuesday everyone! I love that this is a special day on the calendar now. In my business and personal life I try to give back to my community regularly throughout the year. I do this in a few different ways. 5% of every wedding I am hired for is donated to the Alzheimer’s…
Since I’ve lived in California I have wanted to try backpacking. I have to admit, I was super nervous going into this, but my boyfriend assured us that “it will be pretty flat, it’s along the coast.” This could not have been further from the truth. We had decided to hike the south end of…
