You're always told never to lower your prices - because you'll cheapen yourself... you'll 'devalue the... View This Post >

Why does hair and makeup actually matter?!

wanted to share a few session "ohIhadn'tthoughtaboutthats" with you!!!

That's Steven for me!
We met back in 2001 at a Youth Conference.... Y.A.D.A.P.P. -- this conference literally set the foundation for the person that I've become today.

n June 16th... I received an email....
It was Shauna.
My heart sank.
Shauna contacted me MONTHS ago wanting to set up a family session - but as life would have it, the session was postponed...
Things just got busy.
But this email.... this email was different.
