We Made The Cover!

I remember saving my favorite wedding images on The Knot back in 2005. I knew I couldn’t afford the weddings I saw on there, but I could still pull inspiration from them (hello chocolate fountain and candy buffet!). That whole world of wedding planning was captivating but felt so far away. And now? I get […]

Not Your Normal Behind the Scenes | 2017 with Fowler Studios

This post is looooong.  But it’s full of embarrassing, funny, and tearful moments, so I think it’s worth sticking around for.  You should also know, that most of these photos were just random accidents.  We do try sometimes to get good behind the scenes photos, but mostly we forget because we’re too dang busy on […]

Fowler Studios Interns!

The past couple of years we’ve been asked if we did internships and we always said no.  It’s a lot of responsibility, and we weren’t sure that we could provide the steady hours an intern needed to complete a course.  But this year?  We said yes! Meet Jenna, Malia, and Trent.  These three are awesome […]

I Copied Her and I’m Not Sorry.

In our line of work, creativity is king. And honestly? I’m not that creative. I prefer to see things and tweak them to make them their best. Because of that, I try not to look at other photographers work that often. I know- it sounds a little crazy! But it affects me and when I’m […]

Injuries, Missing Weddings, and Community Over Competition

It’s been a year since I threw my back out.  Not an Oh man, I need pain meds kind of throw my back out.  I was down.  Hard.  I couldn’t move. I had worn my back out over the past decade- a mix of pregnancy, chasing around and picking up my daughter, poor posture, and holding […]

My Podcast Obsession

Two years ago Allison Maxwell suggested a little podcast to me.  You might have heard of it… Serial.  It sounded fascinating, but… I had no idea how to listen to a podcast!  I’m not even kidding! So I called my tech guy (okay, my husband Josh) and asked him how I go about listening to a […]

How We Took Two Months Off Work | Personal + Business

We recently adopted our 3 year old son, Zane, from Eastern Europe.  We’ve had him home for two months now.  He has esophageal atresia, which means his esophagus doesn’t connect to his stomach (he’ll have surgery to correct that) and is on a feeding tube.  Our daughter, Hazel, is 5 years old. ——– We did it.  We […]

Behind the Scenes with Fowler Studios in 2016

It’s that time of year again– the time to look back and reflect on all the ridiculous things we did over the course of the year and show our behind the scenes photos!  But first, we’ve never actually introduced our team, so let’s start with that!  We don’t have any pictures of everyone together because […]

The Biggest Lesson I Learned at My First Wedding | Business

It’s been 6 years since my first wedding (I was the second shooter).  I lived in South Carolina at the time and drove almost 2 hours to the venue in North Carolina.  I couldn’t even tell you what town it was in– somewhere in the mountains.  A friend was photographing the wedding and wanted some […]

July 10, 2009: Planting a Seed for Fowler Studios

I didn’t know it that day, but that’s the day a seed was planted for Fowler Studios.  I was in Brunswick, GA on a business trip when my mom called and told me my nieces had been born… three months early.  One passed away shortly after birth and the other was tiny, but a fighter.  Kyah […]
