Have you ever looked at a photo and felt like something was a little bit off? After trying the usual suspects of straightening the horizon lines and cropping out distracting things, does something still not seem right? Maybe color correcting the photo will help solve the problem. The coloring of the photo is also known […]

This past week I got back from my third road trip through Virginia and the Carolinas. While down there I worked with two new clients, one being Andi from AndiMarrs.com. Working with Andi was seamless and felt like I had known her forever. Which, got me thinking, what should clients be thinking about when they […]

Picking a location for your photo shoot is always one of the most important and, sometimes, most intimidating choices you can make. You want a location that offers good options for lighting, backgrounds, and also just generally fits your vibe. To help you narrow down your options, I made a four question quiz that will […]

“Wait, is it move-in day?” Karen and I couldn’t stop laughing as we walked the pathways through Princeton University and tried to stay out of everyone’s way. Thankfully it seemed to be a pretty low-key day, and we still found plenty of great photography spots on campus. Karen is one of the clients that started […]

If I had to guess what the most common comment I get from potential clients is, I would feel very confident saying it is something about posing. Whether that be them vigorously explaining that they aren’t models, have never had a professional photo shoot before, won’t know what to do with their hands, etc. It […]

The very first person that I ever photographed (outside of a few close friends) was Zaina, the Chic Chemist. Now she is a dear friend, but, at the time, she was a fashion blogger that I’d met at an event who seemed nice and was interested in a collaboration. I had never even met a […]

There are a lot of crappy business books on shelves. There, I said it. And I meant it. Reading an amazing book about business can be a game changer, but, unfortunately, I am so hesitant to try them because I’ve been burned too many times. Have you ever felt that? The excitement of buying a […]

As any type of creator, business owner, or person online, head shots are a must. Yet, so many times I see folks simply taking head shots and not thinking about ways that they can uplevel those photos and turn them into personal branding photography. Why just have a nice photo of yourself when you can […]
