When you have the opportunity to see people walk through new seasons of life, it’s super special. It’s even MORE special when you have had the chance to capture each previous season… AND those people have become sweet friends as well. Haley and Daniel are that perfect example – from their Augusta, GA engagement session (featuring […]

Today’s guest blog post is from another dear friend, fellow co-leader at our annual conference, The Mastermind Retreat, hedgehog mama, and expert in viral content – Callie Lindsey, of Callie Lindsey Photography. We’ve always joked about how Callie has a knack for creating contagious content – from her hedgehog fame (you’ll learn more about this below!) to […]

I actually really LIKE emails. When I worked at the PR agency, people always came to me for email tips on how to manage their inbox, reach inbox zero, & actually get results from the emails they were sending. I mean, my inbox sometimes can feel like a death trap, sure, but overall, I really […]

There is something incredibly […]

There were a few things I really struggled with in the whole baby prep process. Sure, the normal stuff like first trimester yuck, but the main recurring theme was related to DECISIONS. So many decisions… especially in the baby registry phase. A friend explained baby registries to me this way: you’re making a wish list […]

And for many of us when we think about pitching… we think simultaneously: “salesy” “skeezy” or “scammy.” But I promise it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, I personally love pitching. It feels natural… and not because I trained at the Used Car Salesman Academy […]

Last week I shared about planning for maternity leave (or a sabbatical) as a creative entrepreneur. The post featured 11 things I did in advance to prepare to take a 3-4 month maternity leave with my first baby boy (who could be here any day now!). But one of the key elements to that planning was […]
