Last year I made a photo journal of some of my favorite shots from the Adirondacks. I probably looked at it more than any of you. It brought me immense joy. So here we go with another round of that from 2022 for my own personal reflection.

After 5+ years of taking photos, I have learned exactly what I need for the type of photos I prefer to take. I have had multiple cameras and lenses. These are what work for me now, but I certainly did not start out with this list. Every photographer has a different set up, so don’t hold too much weight thinking you need the exact same equipment.
Here is the run down of everything I use:

It’s coming up on two years since two beautiful wild flamingos flew into town, and I was lucky enough to see them on the beach! The event was really cool, and you can read the original story here.
For the quick version, we had Tropical Storm Cindy come through, which landed right near Alabama. When the storm cleared, two flamingos were spotted on Orange Beach. I saw it in the news, and contemplated driving over that way… but what are the chances I’d even see them?

Hey there!
Today we are going to talk about how to sell your photography prints online. I hope that this is helpful for you guys!
It is so cool that we are able to sell what we are passionate about to the entire world from our couches. We can create digital shops and art galleries so easily, with a minimal amount of overhead, investment, and inventory. One of my favorite aspects of my business is the print shop, and it’s where my photography business first began.

Hey guys!
This week I put out a question on my Instagram stories asking what topics you’d like for me to cover on the blog. I got some great responses that I will be covering in future posts, but a few people asked me to talk about my new print shop. Since it just launched that makes sense, doesn’t it? But I think I need to start this post with some behind the scenes info. Stick with me here…

Hey friends! Happy Friday!
I am so excited to share that my photo (and Ellie the Bug) is on the cover of the latest issue of The 30A Life! You can see the issue here online or pick up a copy around the 30A area. I've been wanting to share this with you all since I first saw the cover a few days ago. It's really a cool feeling as I watch where my photography takes me... Where will I be this time next year?

Earlier this winter, I decided to sell an extra camera body, 4 lenses, and several other accessories. Since I had first gotten into photography, I had a huge wish list, and the mentality that I needed more and more to be a good photographer. Obviously my equipment is important, but something had shifted in me as I began to focus on my creativity and expression rather than what gear I had. I realized, a good photographer or artist really only needs the basic tools to create magic. How could I use what I already had to create an image in mind? This has put me up in trees and in all sorts of strange places to get a certain shot. Some of my most like photos were created this way.
