Blog

What's in my blog? After each session, I like to write about the session and how it went. Most sessions go pretty smoothly and I get happy babies and sweet families but sometimes I get pooped on by babies, trip and fall, or something exciting happens. I love to commemorate the session with a little story about each one. It gives everyone a bird's eye look at how sessions typically go and what to expect.

Sometimes I will write about why I do what I do and answer some frequently asked questions that I get. I like to be as informative as I can because I like to see things from my client's perspectives and help them understand how a photography session goes. No two sessions are exactly the same! It's always different but fun, enjoyable, and you get some beautiful images to hang on your wall at the end of it all.
