For all my entrepreneur friends, let me ask you th For all my entrepreneur friends, let me ask you this... 
Are you using free stock photos on your website & social media content right now? 

If you’re not seeing the type of sales, leads or engagement you want stock photos could be at the root of the issue. Why?
❌ Stock photos aren’t unique - you could be using the same ones as other businesses
❌ They aren’t created FOR you so they might not fit your brand 
 ❌ They don’t give visitors a sense of you and what you do. 

Having custom-shot branding photos can help 
✅ increase engagement 
✅ build trust 
✅ establish brand recognition 

By investing in photos you also... 
- Never have to compromise your brand 
- Never have the same photos as someone else 
- Won’t lose money caused by outdated branding 

Stock photos may be free but they could be costing you money! This is just one of the benefits of investing in a branding session (or updating your current photos!). DM me to chat about branding sessions (and quick turnaround time on photos!)

Hey expecting mamas 👋🏻 If you’re a mama-to Hey expecting mamas 👋🏻 If you’re a mama-to-be due this year, this is your sign to start thinking about your maternity session. 

One thing I get asked all the time is “when during my pregnancy should I book my session?” 

My rule of thumb 👉🏻 You want a bump, but you don’t want to be at max capacity 😜 

For most people, I recommend thinking about the 6-7 month range. But of course, every body and every pregnancy is different and beauty is in the eye of the beholder so it’s up to YOU to decide what you want to capture during your session. 
➡️ If you want a cute little bump do it closer to the 6-month mark 
➡️ If you want to be captured in all your big, beautiful glory closer to 8 months is perfect! 
(I’ve done it both ways myself & loved them both! So it truly is up to you!) 

👉🏻 Just don’t leave it TOO late or all you might remember is how swollen your ankles are and how much you had to pee 😂 

✨ It’s never too early to start thinking about booking your session! PS, besties & grandparents-to-be, a session makes a perfect gift! 

Share this with your favourite preggo 🤰🏻🤰🏾

Working with your wedding photographer doesn’t s Working with your wedding photographer doesn’t start on your wedding day! In fact, once you’ve picked a date securing a photographer should be next on your list. It’s super important to plan ahead when it comes to booking your photographer because there’s a bit of process. It looks like this 📩

Step One: We chat and get to know each other a little bit. You can fill me in on what you’re looking for and I can share a bit of my portfolio with you
Step Two: Book a consultation and we’ll meet to talk vision, details etc. over some coffee or drinks (on me!)
Step Three: If you like everything we talked about I’ll send over a proposal, then an invoice and contract which requires 50% payment upfront to secure your date
Step Four: Let’s book that individualized engagement session to make sure everyone on your Instagram *officially* knows you’re engaged 😉 
Step Five: Another date with me for the remainder of payment, 2 weeks before the day of the wedding. By now we’re best friends🤘🏻Let’s do this thing 👰🏻‍♀️📸

You invested in a branding session but you’re no You invested in a branding session but you’re no super model, so you’re a little nervous. 

First of all, even Cindy Crawford had to start somewhere 😉 
Second, don’t worry! I have your back during your session and will help guide you to pose in ways that feel natural to you, but still looks awesome in photos. 

Just to ease your mind a bit here are a few posing tips to keep in mind before your session 👇🏼

💡 Don’t know what to do with your hands? Use props. If you’re the kind of person who often doesn’t know what to do with their hands while you’re standing or giving a presentation etc. think ahead and bring a few different props that you can hold. Think mugs, cell phone, a book, laptop etc. Posing with something helps you feel less awkward and look natural

💡Choose an outfit you feel comfortable in (as in, pick something fun but still functional) Make you sure you can comfortably sit, stand, move around, and bend over if you have to. ⭐️ PRO TIP - try on your outfits and try mimicking poses ahead of time.

💡Create angles with your body. Think: crossing your legs, hand on hip, leaning to one side etc. It helps break up your body a bit to add some visual interest (I’ll help guide you with this during your session, but just something to think about!)

💡Relax! This is an investment in you and your biz - you don’t want to look stiff and uncomfortable in your photos.

If you have an upcoming session save this post to help you prepare! If you haven’t booked a session yet this is your sign to do it! DM me or visit my website to fill out a quick form.
