What you can learn from a little turbulence in your life.

I had an epiphany on a plane right a few weeks ago… We hit some turbulence not long after takeoff, and I started to think about why the bumps freaked me (and most people) out so much. And the answer is because our reptilian brain (which is responsible for the fight or flight response) is […]

3 Tips for Working on Vacation {Savannah Wedding Photographer}

Step by Step Tutorial: How to create an Instagram landing page on Squarespace | Savannah Wedding Photographer

Fridays on Instagram should be spent crafting fun #fridayintroductions posts, NOT panicking over Linktree suddenly being no longer an approved third-party bio link.

And now I want to show you guys how she did it! So I asked Adrienna to put together a step by step Instagram bio link landing page tutorial for you guys, and I’ll turn it over to her now…

How Taking A Step (or Two or Three) Backwards Could Be Setting You Up for A Giant Leap Forward

Last Monday, I briefly mentioned a particularly difficult phase of dream-chasing: the tear-streaked, anxiety-filled, doubt-fueled phase of not-enough-sleep.

I can still picture the room the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready in, because it was the first spot we shot in that day and I couldn’t believe I was really there.
