The Surprise So Many Of You Have Asked For

We never imagined two and a half years ago when we made the decision to chase this dream that we would be sitting in these seats.  That we would be move states and our office chairs would be in Rosemary Beach, Florida, with a team of amazing associate photographers working for us, a booked out wedding calendar, and writing THIS to you. That our DM’s would be blown up on the daily with request after request to share our knowledge, experience, tips, and tricks. That we would be looking at going back to our past….

Putting The Coaching Cap Back On and The Teacher Heart That Never Actually Left

You see, if you’ve been following us for some time, or if you’re new here- there’s something you should know- Being wedding and portrait photographers or running our own thriving business was never in our plan.  Before we were photographers we were teachers and coaches.  Our days were spent in the classroom and our evenings and weekends were spent at the field with our athletes at practice and competitions.  Being a husband and wife wedding photography team was a foreign thought. Before we knew anything about how to operate a camera, we knew how to educate and how to coach individuals towards their goals and success.  

A Refuge for Photographers

After pursuing our dream of photography and reaching the goal of being full time photographers, we never thought we would turn back- we never imagined that we would go back to teaching and coaching- but we also never thought photographers would need a Refuge in us!  We have been so humbled by the amount of photographers that have reached out to us for advice and guidance. We so clearly remember being that same photographer with so many questions and wanting someone who had those answers to be in our corner, to be cheering us on, to be a Refuge for us! 

What Changed our Business and Our life

A business coach.  We wish we could tell you all the ways that our business and life were changed when we made one simple decision and invested in our business and ourselves by hiring a business coach, but we will have to save that for another blog post (coming soon 😉). However we can tell you if we didn’t make that decision, we wouldn’t be living in beautiful Rosemary Beach, living our dream life, or typing this to you.
