Morgan and Brandon defined the idea of rolling with what was happening, and sharing absolute joy and happiness with those around them regardless on their wedding day. There were so many things I loved about this day, but more than anything, I was struck with the deep excitement of their loved ones- family and bridal party- about their wedding day. I am not sure I have ever experienced (yes- it WAS an experience!) a bridal party quite as pumped up and relational as this one, and it made the day SO SO fun. And it was clearly because of their immense love, respect, and happiness for Morgan and Brandon. Morgan and Brandon are just beautiful together, and their wedding day was such an expression of that. After getting in pre-ceremony photos outside, the skies OPENED up and their ceremony had to be moved extremely last minute indoors. But nothing would change their joy of the day, and it honestly just worked out so perfectly. Susan, Panther Creek’s planner, worked fast and efficiently to get everything moved inside (she is the absolute real deal, future brides!) and it was truly just an amazing day– and we got a sunset, something I never would have guessed in the morning! I can’t wait to share this wedding with you!!!
Sweetest little flower girl! These girls were on it all day for Morgan!!! Looking good, gentlemen! This was a first for me but something I could happily experience at every wedding…the bridal party did a huddle at the end of portraits, and it was SO fun! Models!! I adore this couple! BIG congratulations, Mr and Mrs Vice!! It was such an honor to witness your love for each other, and I’m so thankful to have been a part of it!!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
