I’ve been thinking about offering more in-person photography classes and wanted to put some feelers out.

I’m exploring the idea of hosting small, local photography learning experiences — slower, supportive, and hands-on. A space to learn without feeling overwhelmed.
I’d love to know what would be most helpful for you right now:

• learning your camera + photography fundamentals
• beginner flash & off-camera lighting
• editing & workflow basics
• a start-to-finish beginner experience
• (possibly an intermediate lighting class later on)

I’ve got a poll up here and in my Stories if you want to share your thoughts 🤍
No pressure — just gathering input.

This past week was such a special milestone for me. ✨

I had the honor of teaching inside the Ascend Master Online Retreat—my first big step into the education space—and it felt incredible. Stepping into this new chapter, sharing what I’ve learned over the years, and connecting with so many inspired photographers lit something up inside me.

These images are from my workshop Fearless With Flash, where I walked attendees through some of my favorite, most reliable flash techniques—the same ones I use at weddings to create beautiful, consistent images in any lighting situation. Teaching this class reminded me how much I love helping other photographers feel more confident and capable in their craft.

✨ GIVEAWAY + PRESET LAUNCH! ✨
I’m officially launching The Lavish Edit Lightroom Preset today… and to celebrate, I’m giving one copy away for FREE to one lucky winner! This is the preset I created to give my work its signature polished, emotional, true-to-life look—I’m so excited to finally release it into the world.

Winner will be selected Monday.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than you know. 🤍

For years, I’ve dreamed of creating presets that feel like me — soft, cinematic, and true to the story.

After months of fine-tuning tones, studying light, and testing on hundreds of real wedding and editorial images…

I’m finally ready to introduce The Lavish Edit — my signature preset collection designed to bring emotion back into digital photography.

These presets were crafted for photographers who crave color that feels alive, skin tones that stay true, and a timeless, editorial depth that works in every lighting scenario.

✧ The color preset brings warmth, softness, and that subtle film-inspired glow that turns light into art.
✧ The black & white channels the soul of Ilford film — creamy whites, rich shadows, and that fine-art grit that feels both nostalgic and modern.
✧ The add-on tools include a gentle grain for texture, warm and cool tone balancers for tricky light, and a soft-skin brush to enhance your subjects without losing authenticity.

Launching this November, exclusively through The Ascend Online Retreat with Myrtle & Moss — and one attendee will win The Lavish Edit before it’s officially released. ✨

Six months ago, I joined six incredibly talented photographers from across the US, UK, and Canada inside The Ascend Masterclass.

And now… it’s time to share it all.

Join us Nov 18–20 for the Ascend Online Breakout Retreat — a three-day experience featuring seven powerful workshops, live Q&As, giveaways, and the official debut of this inspiring lineup of new educators.

After months of dreaming, planning, and pouring our hearts into it — it’s finally here.

I’m beyond excited to officially announce that I’ve joined six powerhouse women in launching a one-of-a-kind online retreat and workshop experience: Ascend Masters with Myrtle & Moss.

For the last 15 years, photography has been my world — from capturing love stories and legacies to now helping other photographers find their voice behind the lens.

This new season is about more than lighting or posing. It’s about connection, confidence, and creativity — and giving photographers the tools to step fully into their craft.

As part of this incredible lineup of educators, I’ll be teaching “Fearless with Flash” — a workshop designed to help you feel completely in control of your light. You’ll learn how to use flash with ease, confidence, and creativity in any scenario — from portraits to receptions and everything in between.

Being surrounded by such talented, passionate educators is an honor — and together, we’re creating something truly transformative for this community.

If you’ve been craving growth, mentorship, and inspiration that will reignite your love for photography — this is it.

Join us November 18–20, 2025 for the Ascend Masters Retreat, and let’s grow, create, and rise together.

Tickets are officially live!

✨ Happy National Photography Day ✨

Photography has always been a part of me. I remember being a kid with my dad’s waterproof film camera in hand every summer, determined to capture every moment.

In high school, I found the darkroom and fell in love with the magic of creating images from light. Years later, I found myself drawn back again—this time with the dream of making it my career.

But the real turning point came when my ex-husband passed away. In those first waves of grief, the very first thing I reached for were our photos. They became lifelines—reminders of moments we shared, of how it felt to be with him, of the love that tied us together. And yet, there were never enough. That’s when I realized just how sacred photographs truly are.

They aren’t just pretty pictures. They’re proof of life. They’re the bridge between memory and heart. They’re the gift we leave behind for the people who love us most.

That’s why I do what I do. And it’s why I’m so passionate about teaching others—because photography isn’t just a skill, it’s a legacy.

If you’ve ever thought about learning, or if photography has been tugging at your heart the way it has mine, I’d love to walk alongside you. You can join my email list for future resources, encouragement, and education designed to help you grow both as an artist and a storyteller. [link in bio]

Here’s to honoring the beauty of this craft today and every day. ✨
