If you're seeing this, chances are you're snooping around my sparkly new-ish website via my email blast that went out this afternoon. Hi! There's been some changes this year so far. For starters, I'm doing all my invoicing via square. SO much easier to keep up with than my multi-paged color-coded spreadsheets. You can still … Continue reading Well, Hello!
behind the scenes
What? It’s the end of May already? Scratch that, IT’S JUNE.
i'm still here. more pics to post. more pics to edit. i had covid 3ish weeks ago (thankfully no worse than a bad cold, and we all had it, and my 36 hours of miserableness was the worst of anyone in the house) but i'm finding i tucker out easily, especially in the recent heat … Continue reading What? It’s the end of May already? Scratch that, IT’S JUNE.
Updated Pricing Update
For the folks following this blog with baited breath waiting to find out what my 2022 prices would be, you might have seen a month ago when I posted my updated price list! I was so excited! I was going to make actual money this year and maybe be able to have some leftover after … Continue reading Updated Pricing Update
Legal Beagle
It is incredibly daunting to go from doing photography “freelance” vs making this business “legit” as a sole proprietorship. Honestly I don’t think it’s going to change much about how I do my taxes and all but still. Reading up on all sorts of legal things about contracts and such and I have to wonder … Continue reading Legal Beagle

Groups that are all about supporting small business photographers and helping you get better at website SEO and all that. OUT THE WINDOW. I learned some helpful stuff, no … Continue reading More Updates

What a week
We have finished 10 days of January and I’m kinda ready to start all over again. Phew! Last week was a serious struggle. School has been up in the air and guidelines seem to be changing constantly to the consternation and frustration of parents and teachers. Add in two snow storms and I was physically … Continue reading What a week
Style Schmyle.
I think I use too many words. And exclamation points. Oops. And I don't care. It's weird writing a blog for a yet widely unknown website. Still waiting for my google business verification to come through. Still wading through oceans of information out there and over thinking EVERYTHING. Oh well. This will be a work … Continue reading Style Schmyle.
I am not a Salesperson
I had a very short career in retail senior year of high school. Only a few months squeezed between the end of winter swim team and before summer lifeguarding started. One of my besties had gotten a job at Express and helped get me hired. She was great - always one of the top-5 sales … Continue reading I am not a Salesperson
Real Photography for Real People by a Real Person
Wow. So much research done for this reboot here and I'm still feeling like a square peg in this world of photographic round holes. Basically I've come down with a list of things I *don't* want to do or be: I don't want to do themed seasonal shoots like ever. Apparently this is a thing. … Continue reading Real Photography for Real People by a Real Person
