While Hannah and I are typically out in the middle of a field during family and engagement sessions, we’ve also come to love shooting at downtown locations, especially around the light-colored columned buildings around the city. However, planning for these types of sessions is a bit different than planning countryside sessions because cities are more […]

When Hannah and I first started photography, we had SO many questions, and we wanted all the answers as fast as we could get them. We would scour the internet for hours for any sort of free content from blogs or webinars to get any educational information that we could without spending money. Although finding […]

Posing your clients for pictures can be extremely overwhelming. In the beginning of our photography career, Chelsea and I would get so flustered during a portrait session. We would always make boards on Pinterest for inspiration but would always freeze when we would get behind the camera lens. We were already still learning how to […]

Chelsea and I will always recommend education over equipment any day. I mean, what’s the point in investing in equipment if you don’t know how to use it? Chelsea and I started with basic photography gear while we invested in multiple education courses, and we are so glad we did. We learned SO much that […]

We can remember back to how we felt on the day of our first wedding. We were a mixture of emotions! We were nervous and excited (mostly nervous)! We shot 7 weddings in our first year of business. By doing those 7 weddings, we picked up a few tips and tricks that make the day so […]

One of the first things we asked ourselves when we booked our first wedding was “what are we going to wear?” Were we going to be the photographers who wear all black and try to blend in with the rest of the vendors as much as possible? At our first wedding, blending in was the […]

If you’re wondering how Chelsea and I get clean and consistent portraits when we shoot, then we would say, “Light”. We’ve mentioned in the past that we are people centered photographers. We do our best to get the settings right in camera, so we spend less time behind our computer screens. We are very careful […]

Do you love photography but wonder whether taking full ownership of a photography business is the right step for you? We definitely went through that in the beginning of our journey with photography. I (Chelsea) began the business with it’s original name, Golden Hour Images, when my friends and family kept asking me to take […]

One of the biggest questions circulating the beginner photography world is where to invest your money. We get it, that’s a huge decision! There’s so much photography equipment out there and it’s expensive! We remember how it feels when someone asked us what kind of camera and lens we shot with. We would recite a […]

I remember when we started learning about white balance. In the beginning, we didn’t even think about white balance until after our session was over. Our images were either too cool (blue) or too warm (orange). We could never get it right. We would always go back and fix it in post-processing. White Balance can […]
