Tomorrow, I'm photographing a wedding. And also turning 27. For the first time in my life, I'm not stressing about getting a year older. Maybe it's because I've mentally been 27 since sometime last year, when I told an insurance adjuster that I was 27 and she tried to convinc[...]
Whatever makes you happy, do that. I let myself get stressed out this week. Not because I had too much to do. In fact, it was quite the opposite...I didn't know what to do next. Indecision is one of my biggest struggles. And every time I found myself crying tears o[...]
I was super excited when Mandy from Helfrick Photography reached out about making photographs for her new website. Previously a wedding photographer, she's transitioning her business to do primarily work with high school seniors - and I am so incredibly excited for h[...]
Curling up under the covers on Saturday mornings with the latest issue of Domino magazine was my very most favorite thing in the world when I was in college. Pouring over beautiful photos of dream living spaces and fascinating articles about the creatives who lived[...]
It snowed again this week. I will not miss the snow. But the one thing I will desperately miss when the cold of winter blows away on the warmth of a spring breeze is drinking a cup of tea. Sometimes first thing in the morning, a way to wake up slowly, to hold on to[...]

Our first photo shoot at Nessa and Sara's Austin Workshop was in a field. A beautiful, open field. So naturally, our second photo shoot was in the city. A wonderful, colorful city. I love, love, love, love learning and workshops. When I started my business, I promi[...]
Without a doubt, making new friends is the best part of traveling. I met Sunshine and Lyle over cocktails at Brass House, a swanky jazz and blues lounge in downtown Austin. Over the next two days of workshopping with Nessa and Sara, we became fast friends and decided to[...]
Every Valentine's day, I tell myself I don't care if I get chocolates or roses or an abundance of gifts. Because I'm not a romantic, I tell myself. But...you know what I'm going to say...every year, I see all of the Facebook statuses and Instagram pictures of everyone else's[...]
