It’s officially been a year since launching my new website redesign on the Showit platform. It had been a long, long time coming. So long, in fact, that by the time I launched a new site I had been offering services to clients that my old website only mentioned in a single paragraph for over […]

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 […]

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.

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!).
