Owning a business is challenging – from increasing costs, regulations, competition and more the day to day of being a business owner if often far from glamorous. However, the reason so many of us do what we do is the moments when we are able to come through in a big way for our clients. The moments when we know we’ve made a real difference. Every entrepreneur we know wants to increase the frequency of those moments and so we think one of the best ways to do that is by having people share their stories with others – we can all learn from each other and become better recognizing and executing on opportunities to help our clients win.

I am very pleased with the promotional reel I created for local pianist, Francis McGrath. I met him through my first client and friend, James Hearne. We filmed at the beautiful Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin. I had a three person crew: myself, my Director of Photography Sam Stanbery, and my husband Ben Falter, who did all the sound recording.

Most wedding couples book their photographer a year in advance, giving us ample time to build rapport and understand their dream wedding. However, this past May, I received an urgent phone call from a frantic mother of the bride. Her daughter’s wedding photographer had just canceled, citing an inability to find a hotel for the wedding, which was only seven days away. Read more>>

A few months ago, a new client contacted me about designing a logo for her faith based brand. From our initial conversation, it was clear she lacked experience working with graphic designers and was apprehensive about the entire process. Her refusal to pay a deposit initially made me suspect she might be a challenging client. Read more>>

In 2019, at the very beginning of my business, I was invited by a single mother of 2 teens , recently divorced and in a new space, to come help her get settled as well as make her new space begin to feel like home. Emotionally, there was a lot going on for her. She was a pilot facing a furlough, kids were not transitioning well and just didn’t want to be in the space. Her season of life was just spinning out of control. Read more>>

In 2018, I photographed a wedding for a couple who started their day in a very tumultuous way. Their wedding planner, who was relatively new to the industry, failed to appear at their rehearsal dinner. No call-no show. The planner was working on material for self-promotion, which the couple later found out, and felt the planner prioritized their own image rather than a cornerstone event in the couple’s life.
