MEET Holly & Grant

Lindsey in my sister, and usually when I get a good idea for a photoshoot, she’s the first person I asked. This evening we headed out to a beautiful little field tucked outside of Carlisle Pa to snag some shots. Just look at her! Lindsey’s personality is so quirky and fun, that this field, and […]

Sometimes when you’re scrolling through social media, you see all these beautiful images.

Hey y’all! Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to write a blog post about how to find cheap camera equipment! When starting out in photography, finding equipment you can actually afford is hard! Most professional equipment actually costs thousands of dollars, so when you’re starting out, spending that kind of money is hard. Even I had […]
