Brand Session for Happyologie’s Reading Inspo

The thing about Happyologie is finding happy in your everyday.

So when it came time to shoot content for their reading collection, we wanted the photos to actually feel like that. Like someone who genuinely loves books and we knew exactly who to ask!

Brand Photos for Calendar Organization

There's nothing that makes me feel more put-together than having my calendar fully filled in and organized. It truly is the little things in life that you have to learn to appreciate. Like my color-coded weekly agenda.

K-Life Galentines Event in Bolivar MO

We got to photograph the K-Life Galentine’s event last week and I’m still smiling about it.

First of all, Valentine’s Day is fine… but it’s not nearly as cool as a room full of girls hyping each other up, taking pics together, and having the most fun with it. Like, sorry, but Galentine’s wins.
