Back to School 2020

Something different about my business:

I see jokes all the time about what a photographer does. Pie charts that show “taking pretty pictures” consisting of a tiny part of a pie chart overrun by marketing, editing, and client meetings.

Nope. Not here. I am CONSTANTLY refocusing (pun intended) on ensuring my “pie chart” consists of AT LEAST 25% “honing my craft”. AT LEAST 25% on Being a better PHOTOGRAPHER. Not business owner, not marketer…PHOTOGRAPHER. Photography. It is hard. I have to readjust and realign constantly to keep this true in the studio.

This is me realigning.

Consider this my “back to school” photo/post. 2020 is the year I finally learn Photoshop.

The year I finally know lighting patterns better than I ever learned scales. The year I learn about brightness calibration, black point, and true whites.

I’m hitting the books because the goal was never to run a profitable company above all else. The goal is to be one of the best photographers in the world. That’s why I want to get paid the big bucks. Not for being relatable…I’m not, really.

I’m the Picasso. The black sheep middle-child of five. My story was built for extraordinary.

We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
