Oh you guys. Can’t you just tell that this is going to be the most fun ever?!! Not a fun topic to write about but the more brand photography I do, the more questions I get asked about this topic! VERY Important Disclaimer: I am definitely not an attorney and I do not speak for […]
Welcome to the very first installment of Feature Friday! I’ve had this on the brain for a while and it’s finally here!

If you act professional and take yourself and your business seriously, so will your clients, regardless of how many hours you happen […]
