The Thriving Photographer Retreat | Stylized Session | Joyfolie..

Our children’s session was designed around the gorgeous clothing by JOYFOLIE. If you haven’t explored their site and seen the delightfully whimsical designs they create… You are in for a treat! Oh my goodness… Wait till you see the shoes!
And if you recognize our beautiful little models, we’re not surprised. These girls have graced the cover of magazines, Carters and several other clothing websites. They were such little sweethearts and absolute dolls to photograph!

















A very special thank you to Joyfolie for providing such a fabulous wardrobe!

Are you ready for more? I'm determined to prove to as many photographers as will let me that you can have passion, profits and time for a great life. I create six-figure photographers, and I'd love to teach you, step-by-step, how it's done. This is happening for photographers from all over the world who are just like you. Let me prove just how wildly successful YOU can be!

How to Get Featured on the Cover of a Magazine..
The ones where you just wish someone would pull back the curtain and show you exactly how they managed to make ”it” happen. Today I’m excited to be pulling back the proverbial curtain for you.
I have had the great honor to be featured in several publications – from magazines, such as Chic Magazine, Professional Photographer, Portland Family Magazine, and Vancouver Family Magazine to books such as Visual Marketing (available at Barnes & Noble), Photography Web Marketing, and Photographer’s Web Marketing Guide and everything in-between.
The first time you get published is, of course, the hardest. So today I’m walking you through exactly how I got my first two magazine covers. And I have great news… It wasn’t that hard!

Senior Stylized Shoot – The Thriving Photographer Retreat..

You just can’t put 20 photographers together for 4 days and not end up with some amazing images! We had boudoir sessions taking place in hallways, impromptu posing classes and a whole lot of fun playing with settings.
As part of the Florida Thrive Retreat, I put together 4 stylized sessions, and over the next few weeks… I’ll be sharing some of the gorgeous shots captured by my amazing Thrivers. Be sure to follow their watermarks to their websites because these girls are worth finding!
These beautiful girls may need a 2nd post as this is only a handful of what was captured!

Jump already..
There was no guarantee, there was no proof. There was hope in my heart and determination in my spirit.
So… I jumped.
And over and over, it’s been in those crazy terrifying leaps that I’ve found a little more about who I’m meant to be.
It’s when we jump that we realize – we’ve been able to fly all along.

How to KEEP that Work/Life Balance..
Video Friday is back! We’ve been filming new episodes and are excited to get back on track. We are finally starting to feel pretty moved-in (I think I’m down to 3 boxes!); routine is forming again, and I gotta say, it feels GREAT!
This week we celebrated Take Your Child to Work Day… In honor of the special day, I have a very very special guest helping me cover today’s topic! My 8 year old, Adilyn, will be helping me discuss how to keep that work/life balance thing.
If you haven’t realized this yet, we’re really into work/life balance… In fact, that’s why The Thriving Photographer™ is called The Thriving Photographer. I believe that while making great money is definitely fun, you’re only thriving when you’re living the life you love. And let’s face it… when mama’s off balance – life just isn’t the party we want it to be.
I hope you enjoy this week’s episode! Thank you so much for tuning in! Be sure to drop in your name and email below (or above!) this post so that you’ll get each new episode delivered to your inbox.
