Easter is only 2 days away, and this year is a little different as we are all quarantining at home (if you’re reading this blog post in the future, this was the year of coronavirus and social distancing🙃). I wanted to do a fun photo shoot for easter, so I decided I wanted to color hard boiled Easter eggs!
The only problems are that I really hate the artificial colors and toxins found in store bought egg dye (neons are not my jam) and I also didn’t want to make a trip to the store. So just in case you’re in the same boat as I am this year, I thought I’d share with you my favorite method for dyeing easter eggs from home.
I’ve used this method for a few years now and I LOVE the gorgeous natural colors! You get to use up ingredients you have already sitting around your pantry, and it never turns out the same way twice — it’s a win-win!

Have you ever heard of the rule of thirds? You can take your photos from meh to WOW in just five minutes by implementing this simple tip! Watch today’s episode of #CMPmondayminute to find out how.

Everyone loves a good sale! So today I’m sharing some of my favorite 2019 Black Friday photography deals and discounts for beginners and professionals alike. Reheat yourself a cup of leftover apple cider from yesterday and let’s get browsing!

Once upon a time, one of my dearest friends in the whole world asked me to be in her wedding. Saying yes to being a bridesmaid in Megan and Jay’s Michigan winter wedding was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. Then, Megan asked me another question – if I would also do double duty as her wedding photographer. My initial gut reaction was to excitedly say yes, but then my logistical side started panicking. Was it even remotely possible to be a photographer AND a bridesmaid??

I don’t know about y’all, but goodness, I am the WORST ever about printing pictures. Being a wedding and engagement photographer, you would think that I would have printed photographs displayed all throughout my home. However, the opposite of that is true. I spend so much time clicking and capturing photos, that I rarely take the time to print images to display. Truly, this is a tragedy, and I have seen this trend with so many other people around me – I know it’s noooot just me who has this problem! We download our gallery and change our phone wallpaper and facebook profile picture, but then our stunning photos stay simply as digital pixels, instead of becomingming meaningful, lasting, tangible memories as pieces of art in our homes.
