If there were EVER a candidate for “most inspiring workspace ever,” it’s Wendy Conklin of Chair Whimsy. She’s a fan favorite over here at the AG water cooler, and when she emailed me about an upcoming feature of her studio in Where Women Create Magazine, my response was well of COURSE they want to feature you! Color and patterns for days, joy in every corner of every room- Wendy’s home and studio are an absolute delight to behold! I’ve had the opportunity to shoot for Chair Whimsy four times now (fifth time coming up in just a few weeks!), and each time I step over the threshold of her home, I ..read more

You know how sometimes, you work with someone and think “I wish I could be friends with them in real life?” That’s Becca. She’s just good people. It’s no wonder her wedding photography clients adore her- she’s endlessly kind, compassionate, and genuine to her core, in addition to producing gorgeous, storytelling heirlooms for her brides & grooms. Her work is the sort that will be just as appealing 5, 10, or 30 years from now, because it isn’t skewed towards trendy- it’s truly timeless, bound to end up framed on mantle as an example for the generations that come after. She’s a sto ..read more

Get ready, because this session is easily one of THE most fun shoots that’s ever hit the blog! If you missed my last blog post, we photographed two full-day sessions for Cyndi, two weeks apart- the first was in Austin, and the second (today’s post!) was in Orlando. And BOY did we have a good time at both! Cyndi is a powerhouse of a business owner- operating multiple brands, she runs the #1 travel agent school in the country, the #1 YouTube channel for travel agents… I could go on and on. Spending these two full-day shoots with her was incredibly inspiring, and I loved seeing the consisten ..read more

As soon as Cyndi’s email hit my inbox, I knew we were in for a wild time- she’s a travel expert, agency owner, Disney aficionado, and a complete BA of a business owner. On our first call, she was wearing a Buzz Lightyear headband, and I had no chill about it- Cyndi Williams is so much fun.  Because Cyndi’s business encompasses multiple brands (Wanderlust Campus, Careers on Vacation, Wanderlust Social, and Tripsy), and because she uses her photos literally EVERYWHERE (freakin love it when that happens!), we had our work cut out for us. We ended up schedule two separate, full-day sessions ..read more

What a JOY to photograph this session for Ashlyn Carter! This was our fifth shoot together, and this was definitely the most targeted of all our sessions so far- we were shooting for her Black Friday sale, and even more specifically, for her holiday catalog. The resulting PDF, sales page, and marketing assets were GORGEOUS- she absolutely knocked it out of the park, and I love that the sale itself felt so custom & branded. Twice a year, our mastermind gets together for a weeklong, in-person cram session of education, brainstorming, and collaboration. In advance the last few get togethers ..read more

Recording vocals for a single: 3 takeaways

Something you may not know about me: I am an okay vocalist. I’ve been singing on a church worship team on and off since high school, so you’d think I’d be accustomed to the sound of my own song. NOPE. When our worship pastor Gentry first mentioned the idea of recording services so we could listen back to “game tape,” my reaction was yeah, HARD pass. Pridefully, I didn’t want to listen back on what I knew would be a mediocre recording.  But then Gentry started the conversation about recording some the songs he & worship team members had been writing. Gentry’s background is in ..read more

How to crush your next sales call

Why is it that the majority of artists seem to be allergic to the concept of selling?  Here’s what I think: too many of us believe that to sell is to bother someone– that someone is reluctantly doing us a favor by allowing us to pitch. To be fair, all the annoying telemarketer calls, door-to-door-solicitors, and spam in your Gmail and physical mailbox only reinforce that belief- a lot of salespeople DO cross the line into “bothering.” >> But that’s a very different kind of selling than when you’re on a sales call a client requested. Let’s talk about that.  When the product ..read more

Eliminate Friction Like A Thermos

I thought my doctor was going to faint.  A couple years ago, I was having some stomach issues that required a trip to a specialist. The doctor began by asking a few routine questions, one of which was: “How much water would you say you drink each day?” “Oh… I dunno, maybe 10-20 ounces?” “PER DAY??” After weeks of worrying over possible causes of the problem, it turns out, I was just dehydrated. But… the problem with the simple H20 cure: I’m really bad at remembering to drink water.  (Maybe it’s just me, but does ANYone else remember their parents pushing water on them at any point o ..read more

When should I update my brand photos?

“I can totally do it myself!” It was summer of 2022, and with two+ years having passed since my own brand photos were taken, it was time for an update. But as we started talking about who would shoot them, I was really struggling with who (if anyone) to hire- I really like how I shoot brand photos, and after my 2019 self-portrait series, I thought, I’m familiar enough with taking photos of myself that I could take my own brand images.  Then I started thinking about how LONG some of those self-portraits took to execute.  And how FRUSTRATED I’d get when my phone wouldn’t connect to my ..read more

I was on the train last week attempting to hunt down this blog post to show someone a particular image, only to realize I hadn’t shared it yet! To be fair, I intentionally held off on sharing *any* of the images until Wendy’s book, Life Whimsy, came out. And I DID blog about her book release + launch party! But in all the excitement about Wendy’s gorgeous book being out into the world, I forgot to share the final session we did to help complete the project! Wendy’s first shoot was what I call “a clean slate session,” where we dream up and create a library photographs that tell the wh ..read more
