The kids are home from school, but your business doesn't get a summer break.  How are you supposed to balance it all, pay attention to the children, and work your business as usual?  It's a trick I've learned over the last decade called "PRIORITIZING ENERGY". Let's be honest, you will never be able to balance it all.  That's because some things in your life weigh heavier than others.  This summer, look at what needs to come of the scale and create a summer of peace, contentment, and less chaos.  Hear how I do this for myself and my two girls while still working from home.  *Learn how to “EDIT MOBILE PICS LIKE A PRO” - and ditch the presets!

Have you ever wondered how to take a portrait where the subject is so sharp and in focus while the background fades away into a blurry cloud? It's the aperture of your lens! I'm sharing the science and tech behind how that works and what kind of lens you want to purchase for your DSLR... But also...I discuss how very similar your mind's perspective is to the f-stop function of a lens.  The more light you let in, the sharper the main subject gets.  If many details in the background of your life are screaming for your attention...THIS is the episode for you!  *Learn how to “EDIT MOBILE PICS LIKE A PRO” - and ditch the presets!

Summer is here, and while we love the lazy days without strict schedules that come with it, it's still important to keep a "rhythm"....especially if you have children at home. Think about it for a moment.  Your child has been on a predictable school schedule for 9 months.  They are used to knowing what is coming up next.  It provides safety and security.  Without having a flow and rhythm of their day, your child may pester you constantly with questions and requests, which sometimes could lead to acting out in their behavior.  If you are going through a change in schedule within your home, listen to this short "snapshot" to learn how important a rhythm is for yourself and your family.  *Learn how to “EDIT MOBILE PICS LIKE A PRO” - and ditch the presets!

A constant battle is being waged in women's heads over what's more worthy: Working, Staying at Home, Working from Home, "Am I JUST a Stay at Home Mom"?  I challenge each woman listening to reset their views on what their skillsets are and how they can use their CALLING in each areas of their lives. This one is for every woman trying to prove her worth in the work of her hands and heart.

Do you have many loves and passions but don't know if they fit together with your brand?  I get it...me too!!! I sat down to interview a brand new author, H.M. Palmer about the release of her first book Not Before The Stars Burn Out  , to chat about what inspired her to become an author since for many years, she has been a successful wedding photographer.  See...you CAN do many things!

My daughter Charlotte's comfort zone is wrecked any time we move furniture in our house.  She loves to keep everything exactly the way it is, regardless if the change is an improvement.  In this snapshot, you will hear the story of what happened when I moved a bed out of the playroom, and why I did it ... (hint, something better was coming).  This lesson will leave you feeling relieved that the changes in your life are truly for the better, and there is hope amid the uncertainty.

Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.  How did this impromptu instastory chat become a real life scenario for me later that day? Well, it involves a birthday party gone wrong...or was it really that bad?  Listen in to the very first "snapshot" mini episode to give you the boost you need to keep going today!

Learn how to take the most beautiful portrait on your mobile phone that resembles a professional DSLR camera! I will be teaching from an iPhone, but Android users can still use this effect, too.   Use this technique for gorgeous selfies to share on your social media, product shots, lifestyle images, or simply documenting life's precious moments.

What you can expect every month: *4 in-depth episodes (dropping every Tuesday) to teach you how to take better pictures, conversations surrounding the work/life balance, how faith plays a role in your business, and interviewing guests who bring insightful conversations.  *8 mini episodes, called "Snapshots", where I share a 10 minute story from my own daily life and what I learned from it, leaving you feeling encouraged and empowered to go live full out!

Who is this "Paige" girl? Well let me tell ya! I'm a former professional photographer who experienced some of life's toughest curve balls, and learned how to pivot under pressure.  Listen in to how a tragedy filled with grief lead to a business blessing in disguise, one that I said I would NEVER do!
