Wordpress.  Squarespace.  Showit. Wix.  

All top website builders for small businesses - but which one should you choose for your photography business?

When I first started getting into wedding photography, I SCOURED other photographers’ blog to see what kind of gear they used for a wedding day.  Camera equipment is majorly expensive, so picking the right pieces to invest in that you’ll truly use on a wedding day is CRUCIAL.

Clients.  Taxes. Emails.  Deadlines. Paperwork.  The to do list of a business owner can get really overwhelming REALLY quickly.  

Anyone out there get overwhelmed by the pure organizing side of their business?

Want to know what two lenses I 100% recommend every wedding photographer having???

Here they are: a 50mm lens and a 35mm lens.

Let’s first start with the 50mm - and in particular, my favorite is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.

Probably one of the MOST asked questions I get as a photographer is “how do I use my DSLR camera???”

Whether you are shooting photography professionally or just want to learn how to use your camera better, this post is for you!  I have had this typed out on a note in my iPhone for YEARS and just send it to people when they ask (which happens often!), so I thought it would be much more useful to share with you all on a blog post :)

How in the world am I supposed to balance my full-time job with my side hustle??? Everyone makes it look so easy.

If you are feeling this way at all, there is hope!  As some of you may know, this photography business is actually my SIDE HUSTLE.  I work full time as a technical lead (web developer) for a non-profit company. Because of this, I have dealt with the CRAZINESS of a completely full schedule and learned (very slowly) how to make the most of my time, for my work, business, and time to relax/refresh.
