Somehow, it’s almost the end of August! This year has felt all sorts of funny, and it’s been hard to keep track of what day it is and what season it feels like. No matter what, I’ve LOVED getting to spend time with each of my HNSeniors. Since spring sessions were postponed, this summer has…

FINALLY!!! That’s the word I would use to describe these sessions…FINALLY we got to take these pictures!! Praise the Lord! Goodness y’all, just like everything else these sessions have been put on hold with COVID being a threat this spring.

Getting started as a photographer can be TOUGH, and the topic of free sessions seems to come up quite a bit when you’re first jumping into the world of owning a business. I believe free sessions can be a HORRIBLE idea for your business, but I also believe free sessions can be an AMAZING way…

Alright y’all – since we’re almost half way through little man’s pregnancy, I’m sharing some of my FAV items from a few Etsy vendors I’ve had the pleasure of working with!
