Coronavirus and business

Hey y'all! 
With all of this insane coronavirus stuff going on, I would like to just fill you in on what all I have been working on in my spare time. First of all, a little life update: I took a job with a logistics company in Atlanta to help with my expensive lifestyle that I for some reason love to live. LOL! I feel that this was one of the best things that I could have done. I truly love my job and the people I work with. I mentioned that I had taken a temp position with this company back in September. It just so happened that I was in the right place at the right time. When the position opened up for the department I am in now opened I jumped right on it. I quickly found that the people were the best thing about it! 
I have also been traveling a lot with friends! I recently traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to stay with a friend and see all of the beauty that this country has to offer. On our trip we decided that a road trip to monument valley would be so much fun! I obviously took my camera with me on the trip to capture all of the memories. Traveling with 4 models was probably the best thing that I could have ever done! We had the time of our lives, and can't wait to go back for more! 

Now to get to business... I will continue to do small individual shoots in my off time from work. I am now working from home for my main job, so this means that I will have a lot more availability for sessions. Although I know that these are difficult times, I can assure you that  the proper measures will be taken to ensure the wellness of both you guys and myself. 
With that being said, I have decided to host a spring mini session later next month, hopefully after all of this has blown over... (if it does soon)... I also will be teaming up with a few local photogs to host a cap and gown senior mini session to ensure that their special year is captured 

appropriately in a way that they will always remember. The dates for this will be announced as soon as we can decide on when would be the best time to do them. We know that these times are tough, so this is why we want to give that helping hand to those that are missing out on so much of their last year of high school. 
This event will be 100% free of charge in respect to those that are affected by COVID-19. So far we have about 4 photographers including: Chase Burford Photo, Tessie West Photography, LainieMac Photography, and CL Photography. We are so excited to be able to give back to the 

community that we all grew up in.  The sign up will be posted soon, so keep a look out.
In other news, I have had to reschedule 2 weddings so far. I really hate to see a couple have to change their date because of this coronavirus, but at the same time we all know that it is probably the best thing to do in times like this. 
I am extra excited because I booked a wedding in Nashville the weekend of October 3rd!!! Me and my friends have decided to use this as an opportunity to include a long weekend vacation! This wedding is going to be extra special, mainly because of the location, and the size. This will be a small wedding, so I am expecting it to be super sweet and intimate. 
I am hoping that I will be able to take a another long weekend trip out to California to do another photoshoot with a local model. Hopefully this will get me more exposure to people hiring me for travel and blogging photography. This has been my goal for about

2 years or more now. My biggest goal is to be a travel blogger/photographer and travel the world and shoot for big national parks and other natural wonders. I was recently published in Voyage ATL magazine this past January for the images that I took in Arizona and Utah. I was so excited that I finally got my first publishing! I would also like to end up getting away from the traditional wedding scene and start on extravagant elopements.
I would like to thank each and every one of my clients for their patients during this pandemic and remaining such loyal and caring customers! I have appreciated all of the love , shares, and likes for my recent work. I am super proud to be able to be able to share my talents with you all and the world. I am super blessed to be able to do something that I truly love for you all! I will be taking new spring bookings shortly! Shoot me a DM, text, or even call me! I am just one message away from capturing your greatest memories. 

Please remember that as much as you love your family and friends, this is a serious matter of what is going on in the world today... Social distancing, washing your hands, and staying home are our best bet at defeating this invisible enemy. 


Stay safe, and stay AWESOME!
