Taking maternity leave for my business felt like the scariest thing I was going to do – other than go through labor for my son – but I learned a few ways to make myself feel better about the decision to cut back on work when my first baby came into this world. People have […]

One of my favorite things to do is read other photographer’s blogs, watch webinars and learn about the business I’m trying to build from the wonderful people who have come before me and kicked major butt. I’ve learned some AWESOME information that’s translated into building a more sound financially built business and a better creative […]

One of my last family sessions before taking maternity leave happened late December – can you believe that? This session was OUTSIDE in the middle of December?! We were so lucky to have a beautiful afternoon to capture this sweet family! Breanna emailed me in November, asking if I’d have time to photograph her family […]

The other day on the blog I shared tips for finding a good Virtual Assistant (read that here!). Finding a good VA is only half the battle though – you have to be able to work well with them to make the investment worth your time and theirs. Usually this is the biggest fear of […]

Becoming a virtual assistant wasn’t exactly something I had built into my business plan. The opportunity came to me by accident, if I’m being totally honest.  But now, after working as one for a year, I’ve realized how much I love being able to support other business owners and complete the kinds of tasks I’ve […]

I can’t believe 2017 is SO close to being over! I feel like things just flew by – maybe that’s just me though! It’s been such a crazy year for our little family and I know 2018 will feel even crazier by comparison – but also so full of joy and our little guy making his […]

Happy Holidays from our family to yours! We hope your holidays are full of light and laughter, filled to the brim with time with family and friends, and of course, good food!  We hope 2018 is full of amazing moments and is the best year yet!    Love, Kristina, Ryan, TOC, Grey Cat & Shelby […]

To be totally honest, I thought I would love traveling more than I do as a pregnant woman. It’s not that it’s uncomfortable (yet) or miserable. I just am more impatient and maybe even a little more paranoid about it than normal. So far during this pregnancy, I’ve traveled to PA, OH twice and NC […]
