FRIDAY started off with my heart melting over my 1st graders. The girls in my group decided to make a club, and to be in the club you had to have a heart & smiley face drawn on your hand. The girls wanted me to be in the club, so I gave them my right […]

Why Hire a Professional Photographer
Today, I wanted to share with you why I believe it’s worth paying for a professional photographer for your photos. Whether that be just once or multiple times throughout your life. This post may seem biased because I am a professional photographer, but I promise you I’m looking at this from all angels. Life […]
weekend recap #6
FRIDAY kicked off with 2 sessions for the mommy+baby model call. Both of my clients had baby girls which was so much fun! This has been such a fun model call and I’m not even done yet 😀 After a Viewing & Order appointment with a past client (I meet with them and play a […]
food + the mouse
TUESDAY night our calendar was free so Aaron & I decided to slip in a date night. We decided to try a new place to eat – it has now become “our place!” hahaha 😀 Yes, it was THAT good! Apparently, their strawberry cake is what put them on the map, so we couldn’t resist trying […]
busy week + little treats
The past couple weeks, I’ve been busy! Which I don’t mind, especially since I’ve been meeting with potential clients, collaborating with fellow vendors, or photographing session – & that’s not including my every day life like eating (because we can’t forget that 😛 ), sleeping (also important), spending time with Aaron, Monday nights with the […]
weekend recap #4
FRIDAY was the night the tribe celebrated my father&sister-in-law’s January birthdays. We went to a tex-mex restaurant about 1/2 an hour away from our house. It was packed when we arrived, but they quickly found us a table and the appetizers were already there waiting for us! Chips and salsa – you can never go […]
is this my big break?
Tuesday night I was browsing Pinterest when I saw pictures of a At Home Lifestyle session. Instantly, I was hooked & was dying to take photos like that for someone. So I posted in my VIP Facebook group (a private group I created for past + potential clients) & immediately got a girl who […]
monday workday
Even though yesterday was MLK day, Aaron had to work at Starbucks so I did some photography work. I wasn’t in the mood to sit at home though (ohh the life of a business owner), so I packed up my laptop and went to the same Starbucks my husband works at for a much needed […]
the day I almost quit
Earlier this week, I almost made a huge mistake! I heavily considered quitting SMS Photography. For the last couple months (especially these last 3 weeks), I’ve been throwing all kinds of different “mud” (ideas) at the wall trying to see which one would stick. It seemed like all of them would just slide right off […]
weekend recap #1
Happy Monday morning! I hope you had a great weekend & are ready to jump into this week. Here’s a recap of the weekend :: SATURDAY was Rick’s (my father-in-law) birthday, so we celebrated by having a tribe game night. Because we’re on the Daniel Fast, celebrating with food isn’t really an option, so […]
