Abbie and Cole and their wedding day has been a true dream since it all began. High school sweethearts, families and interests and lives intertwined, the sweetest couple you could ever meet– I adored them from the moment we started talking! They are so happy together, and their warmth is completely infectious. Their wedding was such a beautiful showing of years and years of loving each other with so many people who know them both very well, as individuals and together, all in the same place. It was heartfelt and emotional while still being fun and high energy. They chose the gorgeous Walnut Hall Estate for their wedding backdrop, which is an amazing venue with everything you could ever need in 1 place– including places for your full bridal party to stay! It just makes the day so easy and makes it all really feel like a fun event for the family and bridal party, all together for a few days without the stress of moving around at all. The florals by Rosebud and Co also BLEW me away as well- it all just came together so perfectly! Abbie and Cole, it was a complete honor to witness your beautiful day and the official start of your family together (though let’s be clear, I know you’ve really been family for a long time already!). Here are my MANY many favorites!
I am in love with these! Abbie, you are PERFECT!

I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!).
As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids. I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

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!).
