Maggie and Chris’s wedding day was dreamy from the very beginning to the end in every way! It was filled with so much sincerity and beauty and stories upon stories of these two together and their love story. But the day also painted a picture of Maggie and Chris before Maggie and Chris…and these two are just so very loved and special to their people. I was honestly moved again and again to tears hearing their people talk about them and getting to know them again through other people’s eyes. They are SO easy to love! And to photograph…these two are affectionate and loving, and truly made the day so fun! Maggie is somehow both stunningly put together and beautiful while also being completely easy going and non stressed and she just makes everything so easy for everyone around her, and Chris just adores her (as does everyone!)…they are perfect together! I’m SO excited to share this truly gorgeous inside-and-out day!!

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!).
