Let’s talk branding sessions! Who are they for? I specialize in branding sessions for small businesses and solopreneuers. As a small business owner myself, I’ve done my own branding photos for years.

If you know me or my work at all, you know that I love tall grass & golden hour!! I also love blue mountains, but considering they are minimum three hours away from me, it’s not always a possibility. Luckily I’ve coined Yorktown as a favorite portrait location for having at least two of those […]

If 19 year old Jamie had read something like this when she was trying to figure it all out on her own- she’d have made it to where she is now so much faster. Of course there is no shame in faking it ’til you make it, winging it, and trial and error. All of […]

On March 7th of this year, I was on the couch scrolling through cheap flights online. I was SO tired of just wishing Roman and I could travel together. There was always something that made us stop and say, “we should probably wait until *fill in the blank*. So right then and there, without even […]
