The Blog
As I sat here editing these photos, I found myself super choked up at how beautiful this little family is. Lindsey is my husband's sister, and she and my sister are the reason why he and I ever met! Lindsey and my older sister, Vicki, were best buds in elementary school, so that is how …

Well, everyone! The big announcement is here!!! This has been in the works for months, and I can't believe the day is finally here to announce Coral Compass' newest family member!! Writing my Building My Business blog series has been eye opening to say the least. To compare myself to where I first started to …
I am so thrilled by the amount of love my first post in this series has had!! It blows me away that I can inspire people to go for their dreams, because the facts are -- if I can succeed and meet my dreams, literally anyone can! We left my last post talking about how …
I never really imagined I would be writing a blog post about how I built my business. Over the last few months I have done some mega reflecting into how I’ve been able to sustain a profitable business for six whole years! How the heck did I get to a spot where despite being in …
Oh, my sweet boy is another year older and I have a hard time deciphering my feelings about it! 5 years ago, the most incredible little boy on the face of the planet (yeah, I'm quite bias) was born. It's crazy how different his birth was from Skylar's, in the sense he came one day …
There’s a lot I don’t know. But what I do know is I have a platform and a voice, and it’s time to use them. It’s been a hard few days, but I’ve selfishly forgotten that it’s been harder for our black brothers and sisters for much longer. The tears I’ve cried and the hurt …
6 years ago today I became a mom for the first time!! It was a wild journey to get to the moment I first laid my eyes on her, and I remember almost every minute of it vividly. My 8 lb 6oz baby girl took her sweet time coming into this world. Thinking about how …
My sweet girl had her first daddy-daughter dance ever the day after Valentine’s day, and I cried like a baby watching them drive away. This is a vulnerable post, one that may not be what you typically see from your neighborhood photographer. But my life at certain points has been complicated and not easy. I’ve …
Well guys. Quarantine has been effective for 4 weeks as of tomorrow, and now that my initial fears and worries are somewhat subsided and I’ve had time to think, reflect and breathe, it’s time to bring the COVID-19 situation to the blog. 4 weeks ago, I don’t think anyone really knew what was going on. …

It has always been my dream to travel. For most of those who follow me, that may not come to anyone’s surprise. For the longest time before I ever became dedicated to creating my business and having a career as a wedding photographer, I wanted to be a nurse. Specifically, a traveling nurse! It was …
Lately I’ve been thinking... what’s next? What’s next in line for my business? Where am I headed? What is the next thing that will take me to the next level?⠀ I’ve got my workflow down to a T. I have my style exactly how I want it, and it’s really a dream finally come true. …
I am almost a year entirely too late on this post, but... better late than never!! You may have seen me post yesterday on Instagram about how I want to start being more intentional about using my camera more in my personal life. 98% of the photos I have of my kids, which are thousands …
My brother and his little family made their way up to New Hampshire from their home in North Carolina for a weeks visit, and for the first time ever, I got to meet my sweet little niece, Elly!! Y'all!!! I can't tell you how happy I am to have finally met her. She is the …
I’ve been seriously looking forward to posting another This or That Thursday post! I got so many messages about how relatable my answers were, which honestly made me feel so good. So, without further wait, here’s this weeks #ThisorThat!! Template by @Kelseyinlondon on Pinterst City // Beach - I answered these two separately last week, …
Hey y’all! So, I’m starting a little series of blog posts to A) keep myself accountable for blogging, and for B) to let you guys in on me and my life, and how I’m shockingly just as normal as you are! Wedding photographers aren’t all business, as much as we have to be sometimes. We …
Many of you have seen me post that something exciting was happening for my family last week. And after one incredibly long journey, I am finally able to share it with you! Let me start by saying, I love my best friend so incredibly much. My husband jumped into this journey of raising my two …
Y'all! My babies went skiing for the very first time! I could sum up the whole trip to being completely nerve wracking for me. I'm the type of mom who expects the worst, like broken legs or momma falls and throws her back out (which I did fall, but my backs all good!). Two things …

I was recently challenged in my new business journey course to share more of my life and be more than the camera. Which is an exciting idea for me because while I know so much about the couples I work with, it fires me up to share me and my life with those who choose …
