Category Archives: Photography Tips + Tricks

i am always amazed with how curious our little one year old is. there is something so beautiful about watching a child explore and look at things with such wonderment in their eyes. my husband always asks me, “aren’t you always so curious about what she is thinking?” yes. all the time. of all the…

what do you all do with your easter eggs, once the holiday is over? for us, we enjoy peeling them and eating them. and i love the colorful aftermath. this year i actually mastered my hardboiled egg, thanks to my mom. while i usually epically fail at making them, i finally made the perfect hardboiled…

for about the past couple months, i have been contemplating a little change. to be honest, i think having a baby encourages one to really take a step back and look at how they spend their time. as of late, most of my time is spent being a mama. and in those few hours a…

I am super excited to see this change! I love your personal posts, as well as your photography tips. My blog is always evolving and changing as I do. Best of luck in your new direction. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride!

It’s been fun to see you morph and change and grow. And your recent changes in photography and now this strike me as true to the inner you. Bravo for listening and following. A friend recently told me how interesting it was for her to read my old blog posts — because while it was me, it was me at a clearly different place on my journey. So while you are in some ways going back to what your blog was originally, it will be with the beautiful new frame of reference you operate in now.

That is so nice and profound, Nancy! You always know just what to say! And yes, I think there comes a point in life when you start seeing how fragile your time is and it brings beautiful clarity to start doing what you truly love with it. Thanks for always being so supportive!

I think that this is a great place to go with your blog. My website was originally a blog and I enjoyed it so much, and now it is solely for my business. However I also want to take a “part” of it back and take to blogging again. Kudos for you for doing what is right for yourself, and I cannot wait to see more post.

thank you so much, Mandi! <3

Well do e Bethany. I have loved reading your blog and I have learnt so much about photography from you. I am looking forward to reading your new style blog. Best wishes ❤

so happy to hear you say that, Kim! thank you so much!

Oh my gosh!! I love this!! I’m excited for you and feel we all need to dip our toes back into the blogging we use to love. I feel like once we got into the “photo business” our blogs had to solely reflect that. I’m excited to see the momma and more personal side to you shine! Blog away!

thanks so much, Whitney! i am excited too!

One of the things you used to do (which I always looked forward to seeing) was your monthly recap of photos with lens and settings. It was pretty cool to see all of that. Either way – whatever you post – it’ll always be interesting if you are personally enjoying doing it. Joy has a way of shining out and touching all of those around you.

Thank you, Donna! If you have noticed, I have been posting single everyday images most days on my blog and I have been including my gear and settings in each of those posts. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Bethany, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you are doing for us! You are so inspiring and no matter what you are writing about I’m always learning 🙂 can’t wait to read more ❤️

Bethany, thanks so much for all you have done to promote photography through your blog. Your pictures and posts are always so inspirational, and I have learned so much. That being said Good for you!, its your blog and you should blog what makes you happy and whats most important in your life, and we should all feel free and not stressed about growing and making changes. Your baby and family are what matters most. As a mother of three and grandmother of ten, I know first hand those days will forever change your life and will go by so fast. Having a blog/ journal of those experiences and images are priceless. Good luck, I will continue to watch and learn whatever you share will us. Best wishes,

Thank you so much, Michelle! You are so right, this time is so fleeting! It’s a little change that will still allow me to have the best of both worlds! I appreciate your support and sweet note!

one of my favorite memorials to visit in washington dc is the memorial of franklin delano roosevelt. there is just something about this memorial that always intrigues me. it is a walking memorial, so you walk your way through the four terms of his presidency, taking in his memorable and strong quotes along the way….

i think one of the sweetest things to photograph is fatherhood. there is something so real and honest about children and fathers; their bond and relationship is something that is so unique to the two of them. just like mothers have a special bond with their children, fathers do too. and it is something that’s…
