Good thing I have a long lens! And it’s one of m

A lot of us have been going through fear and anxiety through this pivot in our lives.

We are super excited to do this and hope that you will join us. Want to find out more?? Go on Facebook and like the page “Lady Problems” amd you’ll be able to see the event there, Monday at 1pm PST. ❤️ #changeyourthoughtschangeyourlife #reframe #shiftyourmindset #fearlessmotivation #activateyouranthem #ladyproblems #ladyproblemspodcast #ladyproblemslive #facebooklive #togetherwerise #supportsmallbusinesses #lasvegasphotographer #lifestylephotography #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotography

@oilcountess is doing it right! I have been keeping my house smelling fresh and energized with my oils and candles. Eucalyptus is one of my faves as a linen spray so that I can breathe easily while I sleep.

What are you doing to keep your space lively and motivating?
I took a zoom call in my backyard today and listened to the wind in the trees and felt the sun on my face. Being in that environment totally charged me up and I’ve been super productive ever since!

I’ve also been changing up where in my house I am working so that I don’t become complacent or get distracted. 🤗 Getting creative with your living space in this time is so important.
Has anyone started up a hobby they had given up on previously??

I’ve been loving my new @ketelone_us hat this week. It’s part of my uniform I put on when I go out. It makes me feel like a badass.
Do you have something you wear that makes you feel that way? I think my hat and leather jacket combo are what do it for me lol.

As I have been unpacking my new place I have been doing Lowe’s trips every few days and this time I’m going to replace the bulb in my Himalayan salt lamp.

Do you like my accent lighting in the bathroom? @monstercable_ makes these awesome led lights that you can put pretty much anywhere.
I have this strip in my bathroom and the bulb in my room so when I have them both on they are synced to the same color rhythm. 🤗 It really is the little things in life that make you the happiest.

It blows my mind that this shoot was 5 only days ago and how much has changed since then.
During this shoot I had a feeling of clarity that I hadn’t felt in awhile. I felt aligned and overjoyed to be doing exactly what I was doing in that moment. Having a team around me that empowered me to live in my passion and not focus on anything except what I love was so powerful and I can’t ever unfeel that.
Today, none of the stores in which we shot are open, tons of people are out of work, and social distancing is a reality for us all.

But out of this I haven’t seen negativity or fear. I have seen most of my friends taking time to work on themselves, spend time with family, learn, or throw dance parties on zoom.

Through this and other situations that we have no control over, we will grow stronger together.
After this we will not take human interaction for granted, we will appreciate stocked shelves at the store, and we will be so grateful getting to go back into our work with passion.

During this break, take time to really focus on who you want to be when this is all over and how the little things you do can support the common good.
If you didn’t realize how connected we all are before this, my hope is you do now. I love you all and if there is anything I can do to support you please let me know ❤️ #togetherwerise #socialdistancing #covıd19 #taketimeforyou #opportunityawaits #vegasstronger #liveinyourpurpose #timeofreflection #lasvegasphotographer #behindthescenes #testingthelight #offcameraflash #lifestylephotographers

I LOVE dancing!!! Country dancing definitely puts

I LOVE dancing!!! Country dancing definitely puts me out of my comfort zone because I haven’t done it much before, but when I was growing up, I took hip hop dance classes in summer camp.

At the end of summer, each age group would perform on a big stage in front of everyone’s friends and family. I remember peeking through the crushed velvet curtains and getting excited and nervous to see the auditorium filled with people.
The thing about dancing is that you aren’t alone! You are with your friends, having a blast, showing off what you’ve been practicing and practicing and practicing.
When we grow up we have to make time for a lot of things that we NEED to do. Which makes a lot of us say we don’t have time for a lot of things we would LIKE to do.

They taught this dance the first time we went and it looked too hard so we sat out and watched. This time, we built up the courage to try... and guess what? It wasn’t as hard as we thought!! Think back on your favorite memories from when you were a kid. If you had all the time in the world what would you start doing again?? I’d love for you to drop me a comment below with what it would be!
Huge thanks to my amazing friend @katsecor for having the idea to go and following through on going! So far we have gone twice and every time we go I get more confident and a little less clunky! 😂
The thing is, we all are in the learning stages of something. Don’t be afraid to be a little clunky at first, dance like nobody else is watching because you aren’t dancing for them, you are dancing for YOU!

What do you want out of this year?? What are you w

What do you want out of this year?? What are you willing to do to achieve your goals? Are you willing to step outside of your comfort zone to reach them?

What is stopping you? Is it fear? Is it procrastination? What could help you move past these blocks?

Would meditation help or do you need a strong support system to help you be accountable? I know that until I got into a community of women where I felt supported and could be vulnerable with my challenges, I felt alone.

Being in business for yourself sometimes means that you work completely alone. When you wear all of the hats it can be overwhelming and sometimes speaking to yourself doesn’t get you very far. Lol.

If you need a new tribe because the friends that you have aren’t on your level or are putting you down for putting yourself out there, come out with me to meet likeminded, supportive, loving people that will up your game in all areas of your life.
If you aren’t happy with the results you are getting in your business, look closely at where you are spending your time and who you are spending your time with to see the solution.
Up your game this year and don’t let anyone stop you! If you need help please reach out. You are worthy and deserve to live well everyday. ❤️

What is your superpower? One of mine (we all have

What is your superpower? One of mine (we all have more than we know) is making people feel comfortable being themselves and sharing their stories around me. This is why I am so passionate about telling stories through my camera. Bringing out personality and having fun while doing it. @lisa_chastain4 has been my client for almost a year now and her transformation in front of my lens has been so amazing.
Our first shoot she felt a little awkward, nervous, and didn’t know what to do with her hands. This last shoot we did at wetlands, she was so natural and didn’t even think about the photos we were taking. She just walked through the park with me as we had an amazing conversation and I’d snap away while we moved through fun places.
I can’t tell you how aligned I feel when I get to work with her because it never feels like work. That’s exactly how your superpower should feel. Thank you Lisa for being my client, my mentor, and my sister. Some of our best family are the people we choose to keep in our lives and I am so happy to have grown with you this year and can’t wait to look back on our second year! ❤️ Hair by @hairdesignbyloa

How do I test the light before my client gets to the studio?? Use what I have around me... like a shipping box some days! 😂

Depending on the lighting setup it can take 30-60 minutes to unpack the equipment, hook it all up, and meter each light until it’s exactly where I need it.

Why don’t I just go outside and use natural light?
There are some shoots that I definitely do, but I love controlling the direction, quality, size, and color of the light. The sun is a lot harder to control and it’s either there or it’s not.
This way I can make the exact image I want in camera without having to rely on a certain time of day or for the weather to be agreeable.

With iPhones I know how easy photography has become for everyone, but it is still a science for artists like me who love crafting each image and manipulating the light to bring out the best in all of us. ❤️

Over this past weekend, I attended my coach @lisa_

Over this past weekend, I attended my coach @lisa_chastain4 ‘s Light Weekend which is part of her money/business coaching academy. One of the days we were tasked with bringing a picture of ourselves at ten years old and while my friend @ashleyjayxoxo was looking for hers, she came across this picture of us from 17 years ago!

2003 does not feel that long ago.... but when I think about it, it does. So much has changed since then. All of us in this image have grown, evolved, and been through highs and lows.

It is always important to look back and appreciate our journey and the people who have always been by our side, no matter how many detours we take. Friends who choose to see the good in you when you can’t see it yourself and who stick by your side when you make bad choices are so precious. If you have these friends in your life, take the time today to thank them and acknowledge what amazing friends they have been.

If you don’t have anyone that fits the above description, I would take a look at all of the people surrounding you and ask whether they are there to lift you up or keep you down. If you realize you need a new tribe, let me know and I’d love to connect you with mine! I am surrounded by some of the most genuine humans and they all want to support each other and grow together. I’d love for you to be a part of our tribe, you deserve it. ❤️ #2003 #17yearsago #girltribe #truefriends #findyourtribe #celebrateyourfriends #togetherwerise #communityovercompetition #chaparralhighschool #classof2005 #upyourgame #lasvegaslocals #february2020 #yearoftherat2020 #makeachangetoday #startwithnow #vegaslocals #ladyproblems
