On Monday afternoon my sweet friend Kelly and I drove down to Fredericksburg, VA to join 80 other #babybossladies for The Gathering Event with Hope Taylor & Caroline Logan Raush.  They’re both two of my favorite photographers and I was casually fan girling out in the audience, haha! To say that I was blown away […]

Ryan and I had the BEST time going away and visiting Martha’s Vineyard and Rhode Island last week! Neither of us had ever been to Martha’s Vineyard before and we absolutely fell in love with the island.  On Tuesday afternoon we hopped on a quick ferry from Rhode Island that took us right into Oak […]

A lot of effort goes into planning for social media — maybe a little more than you’d think! It’s no secret that I LOVE Instagram.  I’m obsessed with it, really.  I love to curate my feed and I frequently scroll through it to keeps tabs on my colors, balance, perspective, and subject matter.  I’m always playing around with […]

This beautiful lady is Avanti, and she’s my best friend of almost TEN years now…. what?! We met during the first week of our freshman year of high school and have been two peas in a pod ever since.  Horses have been Avanti’s passion for as long as I’ve known her.  I can remember a few […]

High school senior sessions are quickly turning into one of my FAVORITE things to do! Meet Carly.  This gorgeous lady is an upcoming high school senior with dreams of going on to college to study vocal performance and theatre…. how cool is that?  I wanted to hear her sing, haha!  We met up at her house on […]

Its so easy to become quiet while thinking about the next pose to give to your clients, but doing so might give them the impression that they aren’t doing well during the session. Encourage […]

Ahhhh….looking at these pictures makes me want to go back to Maine right now!  The first time we went to Maine we were actually staying on the coastal side of New Hampshire and ventured up to Kennebunkport for the day.  We decided for the next vacation that we wanted to check out Bar Harbor the […]

My workflow has pretty much stayed the same since college.  I’ve made a few tweaks here and there, but for the most part we were given a pretty solid plan of attack!  Ever since upgrading to my Nikon d810, I now shoot with both an SD & CF card (side note, LOVE my CF cards…. […]
