Thoughts from a Wedding Photographer

March 22nd, 2019 | Journal | 0 Comment

A little over 6 years ago, Sunday Morning Studios Wedding & Lifestyle Photography was launched, and it has changed my life in the most beautiful way. Today, I am so grateful my 23 year old self had the courage to jump. It is a lot of hard work. But the work I do fulfills me in more ways than one, and that keeps me going.

Opportunities to be Strong

December 5th, 2018 | Journal | 0 Comment

Sitting at my favorite cafe, with my eggs, toast, and a hot cup of coffee. I was one and alone with my thoughts and I feel grateful and content. It made me remember how I was so motivated by wanting unrushed and quiet mornings. I simply wanted a life where I get to wake up and start my morning slowly, happy and excited to face the day - always with a cup of hot coffee on my hand. I continuously design my life and make intentional decisions that lead me to being ...
