What better way to kick off a new year of 10 on 10 posts than a trip to San Francisco to celebrate a dear friend’s milestone birthday? We had an amazing weekend together eating delicious food, shopping, laughing and celebrating our wonderful, fabulous friend Suzanne.
Please be sure to check out the rest of our 10 on 10 circle. You can start by clicking on over to Stacey of Posin’ Roses to see her lovely images.

Every time I head out for a shoot, I triple check my gear. Batteries? ✅ Memory cards? ✅ Camera actually working? ✅
I think it all started after I had a nightmare that I showed up and forgot to put the battery in my camera. 😅
Tell me I’m not the only one… other business owners — do you double (or triple) check everything before a big client day?

Jumping on the 2016 trend......
Back in 2016, I made a big shift in my business. I slowly started phasing out preschool, family and high school senior photography and leaned fully into what truly lights me up: branding photography, headshots, and product photography (here are some images from that year of new focus).
It wasn’t an overnight decision. It came from listening, learning, and paying attention to the work that felt most aligned and fulfilling. Helping business owners show up confidently and visually tell their story is what I love most.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me along the way — the families who trusted me with their kids, the seniors who let me be part of such a big milestone, and especially those who encouraged me to focus on this new direction when I wasn’t quite sure yet.
Your support helped me build a business I genuinely love. 💛
