You ever just been proud of a friend? That’s how I feel in this moment as I write this post. I am proud of my friend. For NOT quitting. For believing. For going after her dream. As I blog…. I am contemplating on the moment we met, the long journey of our friendship – the […]
WPPI for us means going to THE biggest photography convention in the world. I’m talking tens of thousands of attendees and being that we like to do things big, it just fits right in to what we are all about. But it’s not just about that, for us, its also about meeting new friends and connecting […]
This little girl, this little girl. My sweet baby Wisdom. Recently, we accompanied W to Las Vegas for the annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers International conference (WPPI) – I say we accompanied her because she stole the show, but that’s for another post. We stayed in one of the newly remodeled rooms of the MGM […]

What happens when the thing you never thought would happen does? What happens when you unexpectedly get sick? What happens when someone you love falls ill or even worse dies? What happens when a natural disaster hits and destroys everything you've worked so hard to build? What happens when you become ill or paralyzed and are unable to run your business? What happens when you find yourself in a global pandemic and you're unable to work for months at a time? What are you going to do?
When we first started shooting, we couldn't afford many of the opportunities and workshops that were available for newbie photographers to learn and grow, so we really utilized the free communities online and locally to building relationships and to learn the trade. It was those years that shaped who we are as people in this industry and have helped us to value the journey.
