I know most of you out there are just like me - you love Instagram. In particular for business purposes. But since Instagram changed their algorithm it's harder to get likes, views, and comments. With that, we’ve created pods, using hashtags more and being strategic about when to post. But I wanted to share a...
Outsourcing has been a huge life saver for us. I remember sitting back last October, pulling my hair out trying to figure out how I was going to Cull, edit, blog and make albums for six weddings and four engagement sessions. I remember it vividly that this was the point where I said, I can't...

Unfortunately, this Tuesday was a very popular date for events in the Birmingham, Alabama area, so our regular attendees weren't able to make it.

Not too long ago I posted our 100th blog. A small accomplishment in my book. I actually remember writing that first blog. How painful it was to sit down and force myself to write something. That blog was probably the first thing that I've written since college. Those of you who blog know what I'm...
If you're like me, you want to do everything as efficiently as possible and do things quickly so you can move on to the next task. This is my method for organizing and exporting photos for my wedding clients. Using this lightroom export plugin and workflow has saved me tons of time. It also lets...
For us in the South, we are just getting out of wedding season. Honestly, we could still have some outdoor weddings because it's 60° here in Alabama. If your schedule is anything like ours, you’ll have some free time from now to about February. This is the perfect time to try get more efficient and...
