Don’t get too excited– they aren’t bloopers from our films, although we’re totally going to try that for next year!  But over the year we’ve saved a few of our favorite gems to show you.  Some are funny, some are technical, but all give you a behind the scenes look at what we do on […]

Wow.  Wow wow wow.  That’s pretty much all I’m left with today after this amazing weekend!  I know it’s easy to type online and say I love weddings, but if you’ve ever seen me at a one, then you know I really love weddings.  When I’m heading out the door at the end of the night, I’m just […]

The weather forecast is going back and forth, but in the spirit of being prepared, photographers all over the east coast are preparing for this weekend.  Here’s a practical checklist to make sure all your bases are covered.  Feel free to add any I missed in the comments!  These are not in order of importance […]

Podcasts.  I’ve listened to them for years, but never on my phone.  It never occurred to me that there might be an app for that… and that I might have put that app in a folder labeled Useless.  🙂 Side note: If you don’t have a folder on your phone labeled Useless, you’re missing out.  It’s […]

There’s this struggle between a creative and business owner.  When you let your creativity fly, the business side struggles, and when you’re on top of the business pieces, the creative side is trapped and pushed down.  For most creative-type small business owners, we’re handling the creativity and the business details, and it’s for the birds!

It’s time I admit it: Sometimes I don’t blog.  The truth is, I love blogging.  I’ve been blogging consistently since the summer after 8th grade.  I’ve even met wonderful friends through blogging– friends that I’ve never met in person, and a few I have. But I have two rules about blogging: 1) It doesn’t come before real […]

I rarely say this, but Facebook has knocked it out of the park for business pages lately!  So often Facebook is a struggle for businesses.  It’s a great marketing tool for sure, but the rules change constantly and paying for advertising doesn’t guarantee better results. I’ll be the first to admit that I sometimes stick […]

We have some BIG news around the office today… and we can’t even believe we’re announcing this! . Whew— it’s finally out in the open!  We’re unbelievably excited about this and spending more time as a family.  Feel free to ask questions- we’re so pumped to finally be able to talk about it and share our big news […]

At first, second shooting seems a lot like any other photography job, but truthfully it’s wildly different!  For most photographers,  you’re representing your own business when you photograph a client. But with second shooting?  You’re representing someone else! Most people are surprised to know that I second shoot a ton.  For me, it’s a great […]

Hi there!  This is a post specifically for vendors… and kind of geared towards photographers and videographers.  We’ve all encountered the ‘church lady.’  The one who tells us where we can or can’t go during the ceremony.  The one everyone loves to hate. We’ll call her the church coordinator from here on out.  And I’m going […]
