The Never Again 50% Off PRINT SALE As I typed out this header, I almost said “The Annual Print Sale” or the “Semi-Annual Print Sale.” Neither of those are true though because the ONLY time I give a sale on prints is if you book a preview party with me. Meaning if you hire me […]

Fresh Unity Ceremony Ideas for 2025 I wrote this blog post a long time ago with a bunch of different unity ceremony ideas. Some are more traditional while others you may have never heard of! This is by no means an exhaustive list of unity ceremony ideas, but a good list to get you started […]

Engagement Session You probably know what an engagement session is at this point.
