They say that it takes a village to raise a child and from raising three, we agree that that’s true. We also have realized that it takes a village to have a successful business as well. It takes a community of people that you trust and grow together.

In Sept of 2019, Craig attended a men’s retreat in Yosemite called APEX. We met the organizer of this retreat, Jeff, at a marriage conference that we attended a couple of times. Attendees were mostly photographers, various entrepreneurs and creators.

As I grow older and older, I’m learning to value time more and more. Things and money can always bought and made, but time is priceless. No matter how smart or rich you may be, time is something no man can create or purchase.

I love being able to make great relationships through all of the weddings we have the honor of capturing, but we also get to meet many new clients and people through our Instagram as well. We have so much fun marketing on IG that sometimes, I wonder how photographers marketed themselves before social media.

Few years ago when we did senior portraits, it seemed like another shoot we had to do. But now, it feels so personal and emotional to us because we officially have a teen ourselves. To think that our child would be going through this special year in such a short time is pretty surreal.

Through our shoots, it’s so awesome to see all the different styles that are out there. Just like everyone, Craig and I have our own preference when it comes to style, but as professionals, it’s our job to make any style look amazing!

Through our business, I had to learn to adapt to many things that I’m naturally not comfortable with. Being adventurous was something I was never interested in until I married Craig and we ventured into photography. But now, adventurous is my middle name! It’s pretty amazing to me how you can really learn to love something and change your “nature”.

“It’s 2021”, they say…. Whatever the trend may be, whatever beliefs you may have, whatever tradition you want to throw away, there are things that will never change no matter how hard society will try to. For one, it’s God. He is never changing - He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
