1. I post my editing queue.

I like being transparent. Does it make me look busier than I am? Maybe.

Does it remind people that I’m a human? I hope so.

2. I give my locations to close friends.

Community > competition. I believe in “Keeping the West wild,”

BUT if you’re my girl, I trust you, I know you’d treat it right AND do the same for me?? Yes, I’ll drop the pin.

3. I don’t edit on a Mac.

I love my gaming PC. The RGB lights make me edit faster… 🤓

4.I haven’t niched down.

I love love love my families, couples, brands and portraits. I will NOT pick just one. You can’t make me.

5. I care less about my IG feed and more about YOU.

I used to plan everything so it was ✨aesthetic✨.

Turns out Instagram doesn’t care…and neither do you.

I post what I want, when I want, because you deserve to see your photos ASAP.

6. I don’t know where my lens caps are.

The goblins take them. With my socks. I dont know. But I don’t use them anyway so whatever.

7. I have no idea how old my SD cards or batteries are.

But listen… I have a lot of backups.

8. I share clips of myself that look “unprofessional.”

I want you to know exactly who’s walking into your wedding.

If you can’t handle my silly little gremlin energy online, you won’t like it in person either.

9. I don’t hide that I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

I’m inclusive of everyone, period.

I’m also proud of my culture. Mormon weddings are beautiful, too. I refuse to avoid them.

10. I’m not married to the timeline.

Your wedding is about YOU, not my shot list.

If you’re laughing with your family, having a moment with your friends,

I’m not interrupting that for a Pinterest photo. I will be capturing the candids for sure though. 😜
