MEET Holly & Grant

This is a pretty weird post to write, because who’d have ever thought we’d be stuck in quarantine for weeks on end? I know I definitely didn’t! That’s why this post is geared towards the creatives out there who are suddenly finding themselves without anything to do.

5 things to do during quarantine

  1. Update your website! This is kind of a common suggestion actually, but it’s true! Update your website, freshen up your fonts, choose new colors or even rebrand completely!
  2. Write blog posts. That’s what I’ve been doing! Write and schedule blog posts weeks, or months out in advance! That way, when the time comes for posting, you have fresh content for weeks or your readers.
  3. Clean your gear and send it off. (If they are open and doing it.) This is one that I haven’t actually done yet but definitely want to! Box up your gear and send it off to Canon or Nikon to get it looked at and cleaned. There is nothing worse than having your gear quit on you mid session, so cleaning it at least once a year is a good goal to have. The better care you take of your gear, the longer it’ll last.
  4. Update headshots. Have a room in your house that get’s great light? Perfect! Set up your tripod, or even ask your mom or your sibling to take some photos for you. Be silly with them, be creative. But get those headshots taken care of!
  5. Do a daily photography challenge. Sitting inside can get SUUUUPER boring. So look up on Pinterest things you can do that will take the boring edge off! Try photographing something green one day. A unique lighting situation the next, or a self portrait the third day. Try something that will get your creativity flowing during this stale time.

I really hope at least one of these things is exciting or interesting to you! It’s okay to take some days off and rest, but remember to also use this time wisely. We might not be scheduling sessions or photographing weddings on the weekends, but that just leaves us with much needed time for other things.

 

Stay safe!

We had a gorgeous evening walking around The Children’s Lake in Boiling Springs a few weeks ago. Getting to meet Aubrey and hear about her plans for her future was such a treat! She is the sweetest soul, and we had so much fun talking about her dreams for the future. What a sweet senior […]

It’s not very often I get to photograph senior boys. And this senior is no different. Colton is one talented guy. He’s flipping his own RANCH. Can you believe that?! He’s finishing out his senior year online and is ready to take the world by storm. He’s got some big dreams, and I can’t wait […]

We’ve been friends with Bre and Travis for several years, and have photographed them through the years as well. The first time we photographed them was when they were expecting little Lillian.

I cannot believe these photos are a few years old already, but they are still some of my favorites! Michelle & Curtis wanted some anniversary photos at the Harrisburg Capitol, and I was so excited to photograph them. Michelle went with the most beautiful handmade dress, and even had the prettiest bouquet of flowers to […]
