When you think about business finances for photographers, do you get that little pit in your stomach? I’ve been there. Early in my career, I was shooting weddings on the weekends, editing until 2 a.m., and panicking about whether I had set enough money aside for taxes. (Spoiler: I hadn’t.) What I’ve learned since then […]

Madison and Zack’s fall Hibernia Park engagement session was cozy, playful, and filled with laughter from beginning to end. These two are the kind of couple you just know are going to have a lifetime of fun together. I loved getting to capture that energy during their session. They first met in such a fun […]

As a wedding photographer turned tax educator, I’ve learned just how confusing it can be to keep up with both federal vs. state taxes for photographers.

Our Lancaster senior spokesmodel mini sessions at Greenfield Park were filled with laughter, gorgeous light, and the sweetest group of girls. This year’s team, Ally, Joelle, Alivia, Piper, and Madison, has […]

As photographers, we wear a lot of hats: creative, marketer, bookkeeper, editor, and sometimes even part-time lawyer and accountant. But when tax season rolls around, one of the most common questions I hear is: “Can you deduct personal expenses as a photographer?” The short answer? Not usually.

Amelia and Nickolas’s wedding day was the perfect reminder that love doesn’t need a big crowd to be meaningful.

From the moment we started, it felt […]
