And just like that, a new group of girls become my next senior spokesmodel team. Summer is such an exciting time for me. First, it is when I announce the new spokesmodel team. I love surprising each senior with the news. Their excitement NEVER gets old! The other exciting thing that happens is that we […]

Does this sound like you in March every year? Maybe even April if you really push it off?  You’re anxiously flipping through hundreds of papers and receipts trying to find a specific expense. Or maybe it’s trying to go through your drives, trying to remember exactly where you went every day for the past year. […]

When I first started my business, I often heard people say make sure you track your numbers for tax purposes. I would nod my head like I understood, but inside I was freaking out. I understood that I needed to track numbers, but what numbers do they need to be and do they need to […]

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 […]

I had the honor of photographing Megan and Brady’s beautiful French Creek Golf Club wedding. It always means so much to capture any HMP Couple’s wedding day, but this one was extra special. This wedding held a special place in my heart because I grew up with Brady. His family has been in my life […]

We were about halfway on our trip down south for vacation when we stopped for gas. Things were going great. Adalynn was doing amazing, and she was just starting to get hungry. Things were lining up better than we could have hoped for. ✅ Joel filled up the truck.  ✅ We ate breakfast on the […]

This week is a little different from the rest because I’m on vacation! My tasks for this week are to relax, be present with my family, and watch Adalynn play in the sand for the first time. There’s something magical about seeing her tiny hands discover the world around her. It’s moments like these that […]
