I saw this article a few weeks back and it gave me the idea for this post. The article is mostly geared toward people with some background in photography, but I’m going to try to touch on some tips and tricks on getting some great vacation photos of your family without using words like “DSLR” and “aperture”. ;) And, to help illustrate, enjoy some photos of my adorable kids on our vacation to Southern California this last spring. =)

Professional Head shots are not just for models and actors anymore. In the age of social media, everyone who has a business should have some professional head shots taken for their profiles, social media content, web marketing, website, and so much more!

I absolutely love helping small business owners with their brand and marketing photography! These businesses are their babies— to have someone trust me with that… well… it’s an honor. Plus, I get to learn all kind of fun stuff and have some pretty awesome experiences, too!

I usually hold it together pretty well at weddings —I ugly-cry during the editing when I get to relive all the beautiful moments, but I usually keep it together AT the actual wedding… this wedding, however, was the exception to that rule!

I first met with these two at a Starbucks on a rainy fall day a full year before their wedding! We clicked - photo pun intended ;) - and they decided to allow me to document their special day!
