I often get asked a handful of the same questions time and time again. As a wedding photographer, there are many stories to tell, much advice to give, plenty of questions to answer. I thought I’d spend a little time today to do just that! If you have any further questions, I will answer them! […]

Ahhh, the flash drive. Otherwise (and better) known as the USB, these handy dandy things have been a key part in my business for over a year now, and I’m loving them! I could go on and on about why I switched from CD’s to USB’s, but maybe I’ll save that for another blog post, […]

Last week I had the honor of spending the afternoon with a great friend of mine, Meredith Ramshaw, who also happens to be the photographer of Ramshaw Photography!
