IN A NUTSHELL…
One of the biggest highlights of this year for me was working with SilverStream Coffee Roasters on their photos & social media! I’ve really enjoyed the change of pace and the ability to get creative in a different way (plus… they really do have the best coffee and are some of the kindest people, so they have made my job so easy!).
Another highlight of the year was getting to work with my new friend, Dani (who you’ll see in the photos below!).
I had posted earlier on Facebook & Instagram this year that I needed help for this photo season - someone to help me at sessions by holding my reflector and helping my clients feel comfortable. I had never ventured outside of people who I knew personally first to help me, but felt like it was the right time to start seeking those outside of my circle.
Enter - Dani! She messaged me on Facebook after a friend from her church sent her my post, knowing she was interested in learning more about photography. And well... it ended up being a great fit for the both of us! Dani was able to get a look inside my process, and I was able to have someone help me at sessions consistently - something I had been praying for for a while!
In total I was about to photograph about 60+ sessions, plus a handful of weddings. I’ve intentionally began taking less weddings over the last few years but still had the opportunity to work with 6 amazing couples this year.
I have to admit, I slacked a bit on behind-the-scenes photos this year! Here’s to increasing the number of BTS images for 2025 ☺️
THANK YOU TO…
A huge, HUGE thank you to the real MVPs, the grandparents who have loved and watched Lucy multiple days a week, allowing me to take photo sessions, edit photos, schedule social media posts, and do all of the background work that comes with owning a small business. It would be impossible for me to do what I do without their help!
Of course, a huge thank you to my husband, Nick, who takes care of Lucy and our family and is supportive in so many areas of my business.
And a big thank you to Dani for coming with me to SO MANY sessions. You have truly been an answer to prayer, and a support to me on some of my most difficult days. I am so very grateful!
