• A great philosopher once said... a late Instagram post is better than none at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm kidding, no one said that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here's some late-night goodness for you anyway! 😉

  • Trends come and go... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been pursuing a fairytale niche for my brand for almost 8 years 👑✨ This commitment has come with plenty of times when my work wasn't the popular style. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There have been periods when I didn't even bother submitting my work to publications because I didn't fit the vibes that any of them were looking for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There have been years when it was hard to get referrals because my style didn't match what was currently trending on Pinterest and Instagram. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have there been times when I've wondered if following the current trends would bring in more business? Of course. But instead, I've always chosen to keep my head down, improve my own style and wait for my next wave. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bottom line is... find what you love and focus on that. Don't get distracted by what others are doing. Create your own look and master it... and your time will come! 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: enchantedforestweddings Planner & Designer: theblushingdetails Floral Designer: soireefloraldesign Vintage Rental: madampaloozaemporium Markup and Hair: beautybybonbon Cake Designer: lauramariescakes Specialty Backdrop: papermoonshoppe Stationary Design & Calligraphy: hanwriting Signage Calligraphy: weddingsignsdesigns Ring Designer: asweetpear Crown: jillprettyman Vow Book: weddingstorywriter Dresses: misshayleypaige jlmboutique Tux: Friartux Models: Taylor Chapman & Travis Chapman

  • You guys... I am exhausted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I allowed to say that? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can I share that sentiment without my clients worrying that I won't give them my best? Can I admit that I'm maxed out, without my peers and students thinking that I'm weak? Can I say this and not have anyone think that I'm ungrateful for the blessings of a busy calendar and a family to care for? Where is the line between "always-on" business owner, and normal human being? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't know, but I do know that this season tends to run a lot of photographers pretty ragged. So I can't be alone... right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo by whimsiephotographie, edited by me.
