for Photographers
Resources
I remember what it was like starting from nothing and having no idea where to start! Below, you will find a variety of educational resources ranging from my favorite programs, the gear I use, educational guides, and so much more!
business must-haves
HoneyBook
Client Management
My go-to program for all things Client Management. This is what I use to process inquiries, send contracts and invoices, track income, create questionnaires and so much more! They are a business lifesaver with their automations too!
SHOWIT
Website & Blogging
After having tried so many other website platforms, I can honestly say there is nothing like ShowIt. While I understand it may seem a little pricey, there are so many benefits AND you can get started with a gorgeous free template immediately!!
CloudSpot
Gallery Delivery
Needing a way to send clean, professional looking galleries was a necessity as a photographer. Also being able to seamlessly integrate a store, having mobile access to the galleries, and have so many customizations are all honestly bonuses!
Canva
Graphic Design
As somebody who loves convenience as well as cohesion in her branding, Canva is a one and done! I have all of my templates accessible from literally anywhere and applying my branding takes two seconds. Honestly, I wish I'd found it sooner!!
Zola
Marketing
I'd tried everything to increase my visibility and bookings. After being recommended by a local wedding planner, I signed up for Zola! It instantly put me in front of so many amazing couples and was a huge reason I was able to make the jump to full-time!!
G-Suite
Domain-Based Email
There is nothing that makes a business look and feel legitimate than having that custom domain email address. Instantly creating confidence in your clients and other businesses, all with the easy-to-use GMail platform. Wins all around!

Timelines
Creating a timeline isn't easy, especially if you are new to weddings and just figuring everything out. Luckily for you, I've created an easy to customize Canva template for you to plug in your own weddings to cut down on time and stress! I still use this every single wedding I book to create timelines in literal minutes!!

DON'T MISS A
MOMENT
I have a relatively strong memory and I spent years relying on it to make sure I captured everything on a wedding day. The truth is though, I'm a human and I've definitely had wedding where I wish I'd remembered something. In comes a shot list! I keep a copy in my bag and on my phone just to browse through to make sure every moment is captured!

TEMPLATE
My timeline creation process has evolved so much over the years. From sending out a quick email with a basic overview of when I'd arrive and leave to now a 6 page document with all of the day of information. And it's in an easy to use and completely customizable Canva template for you to snag right now!!
Coming soon!
Full time photographer, part time ninja coach. Explorer of New England and lover of coffee. Add in some crochet, the cutest kitty, and an amazing husband. Basically my life in a nutshell!
