When I first started my photography business, taxes used to make me cringe. I would wait until the last minute to gather my numbers, and boy, did it cause lots of late nights sifting through receipts to find everything I needed to provide to my CPA.  Every spring, our dinner table would disappear for a […]

Tax season only happens once a year, so it can be really easy to spend a ton of time handling it all at once, and then forgetting about it until March or April comes back around the next year. To only worry about it when the deadline is approaching. But what if you could spend […]

It’s hard to believe that my journey with the 2024 HMP Senior Spokesmodel Team has come to an end. We’ve spent their entire senior year together sharing laughs, creating memories, and capturing so many amazing moments. Our final session was bittersweet but absolutely perfect, celebrating their graduation and looking forward to their next exciting chapter. […]

There’s something magical about seeing her tiny hands discover the world around her. It’s moments like these that […]

Three years ago, I had the joy of meeting Cassie. She was a bridesmaid in a HMP Wedding. Super sweet, so fun to be around! Most of the time, I prepare myself that it may be the only time I see someone in a bridal party. Which is totally fine, but there are a few […]

I’m currently in the middle of packing for a beach trip. Yes, I’m already dreaming of the ocean waves and sand between my toes! You know how it is — getting all those last-minute things done, so I can truly relax and not think about anything business-related while I’m away. But before I hit the […]

Jillian and Josh’s shades of blue Ironspire Complex wedding was nothing short of magical. The day was filled with laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments.
