"Your small voice has a way of spilling into rooms where you thought there would be no place for you.

Even when it is only a word or two, your small voice has a way of pushing through.

And if you happen to be a little quieter, and you sound differently from others, the words you choose resound with truth all the same."

-Morgan Harper Nichols

Yawns+Hugs

This little ham was so sweet and sleepy during our in-home session. I couldn’t believe how much him and his sister, who I photographed when she was just a newborn, looked alike! And of course, Mom and Dad couldn’t have looked any prouder of their new little handsome man. What a joy!

Nobody told you what to do with the mug. So you just... held it.

And now you're stiff and the photo looks like a stock image and you're wondering why brand shoots feel awkward.

Here's the fix:

→ Hold it close, not out
→ Gentle hands, like it's actually more delicate
→ Look at it. Look away. Pretend to sip. Move.
→ Stop performing the mug and just use it

Props work when they give you something natural to do — not when they become the whole focus.

I walk every client through this on shoot day, which is one of the reasons brand minis work so well even if you've never felt comfortable in front of a camera.

Talking on camera feels unnatural — until it doesn’t. This is the advice I’m giving every client before we film 🎬

Some of the best decisions I’ve made in this business were about what to stop doing. Slower shoots. Less overly processed images. Fewer — but better — clients. This is what that looks like in practice. 📸
