Scheduling shoots with people I’ve never met in person is nothing new for me. Usually we’ve exchanged Instagram DMs. Maybe an email or two. With Renee, I’d actually spent some time with her on the phone. But nothing prepared me for meeting her in person. Renee is as beautiful and striking in person as she […]

I’ve never walked around with a celebrity before, but I imagine that being with Ange of Hairspray and High Heels is something close. While Ange has built a large and lasting online community, it isn’t that people specifically recognize her for her. Rather, it is the rainbow hair, badass outfit, and self-assured confidence that is […]

A Cropped Top. Snow. Fan flowing and dancing to Stevie Nicks. While it was never what I imagined my winter photo shoot with Anne to look like, I honestly should’ve. One of the things that I have always admired most about them is their ability to seemingly be 100% themselves, regardless of what other people […]

While I always get a little nervous before any shoot, this one was something special. And even more nerve-wracking than normal. It is one thing to shoot strangers. Another to shoot friends. And another entirely to shoot a friend who is a fellow photographer. Rachel (from Rachel Word Photography) has been a friend for many […]

As Z dropped two bulging bags on the ground, I was instantly reminded of the first time we had shot together. After meeting at a happy hour for bloggers, we made plans for a collaboration shoot so Z (known to the world as Zaina of The Chic Chemist) could get her winter collection taken care […]

“I had a marvelous time ruining everything…” – Taylor Swift, The Last Great American Dynasty 2020 has been a year of transitions and unexpected changes for all of us, so when Madison asked if we could do a shoot for this new era in her life, I was more than thrilled. While she’s closing an […]

“So, I brought this vest to change into.” Tia held up this gorgeous multi-patterned and multi-colored vest and it was like she was holding up the physical embodiment of my own words. On my website, Instagram, and anywhere else that I talk about my business, I always say part of what I do is take […]

“Want to spend forever with me, Winnie?” If you know anything about Tuck Everlasting, it is probably this line. If you know more than that awkwardly delivered line from the ill-advised movie adaption, then we should probably be best friends. (Serious on both counts. The movie was pretty bad and I’d be happy to be […]

When you think of a witchy, 90s fashion icon, obviously I am the first person that comes to mind. (Just kidding – we all know the only true part of that sentence is I was, in fact, around in the 90s.) However, if you are a witchy, 90s fashion icon (or I’ve just given you […]

One of my things to schedule is a fashion blogger summer photo shoot in a beautiful location. So Laura from LivingLovingLaura was a perfect fit. She is a fashion, lifestyle, and mom blogger who encourages women to live their best lives. Looking at these photos, there’s no question that she makes fierce and fabulous look […]

The only thing bigger than Zaina’s (aka The Chic Chemist) bag full of outfits is her heart, both of which were essential to our whirlwind afternoon shooting 15 different looks in three hours!

Having just passed a milestone of a birthday, Cailin is a living her best thirty, flirty, and thriving life. Basically, she’s Jenna Rink. Well, if Jenna had traded in her 1980s neon spandex for early 2000s alternative grunge. (Seriously. Cay has some very serious opinions about My Chemical Romance tribute bands…) Cailin and I have […]
