If you visit a photographer's website, odds are, you’ll read something along the lines of “photography is my passion”. You won’t find that on mine. Do I love photography? Absolutely! I think photographs are crucial and such a valuable thing to document our lives. I believe that photos are one of...
There are two types of photographers: those who deliver just an online gallery and those who provide a full experience with in-person ordering. I've been a print-based photographer since Day 1 of my business but I switched to in-person ordering a few years later, around 2016, and it's the best...
At first glance, the cost of a digital file may seem a bit pricey. You probably think you aren’t getting “anything”, just the digital file. The thing is though, they really aren’t expensive at all, once you realize what you’re getting. The cost of prints don’t just include ink and paper, it covers...
I photographed my last wedding recently. It wasn't my last of the season...it was my last ever. For the past twelve years, I have been welcomed into the lives of so many couples. I've been invited to celebrate with them and have been trusted to document their biggest moments. It really means the...
I photographed my first wedding in 2009. I didn’t have a business plan, or really, any idea what I was getting myself into. I knew nothing about costs of doing business or taxes, I really thought life as a wedding photographer would be glamorous and all about meeting awesome people and taking...
Each year I try to take a few photos to share throughout the season to give a peek at the Behind the Scenes and not-so-flattering (ie: embarrassing) moments during the wedding season. Now Chris is on board and a part of K. Moss, there's a whole new perspective, too! Some photos are from light...
My stomach sank as I typed, viewing my words on the screen. Did I really need to do this? Is it worth the risk of being hated, bad-mouthed, and written off? I continued typing, the pit in my stomach growing larger. I clicked send and wanted to throw up. Based on the above, you'd think I...
It's been a while since I've shared a Behind the Scenes post! It's a little tricky getting photos together when working solo, but now that Chris has begun assisting at weddings and sessions, I'm able to share a peek of what goes on when others aren't looking 🙂 So here goes, a few technical and...
“I think we want a large print, like an 8x10 or 11x14”. About 20 years ago, these sizes did seem huge (remember those enormous clunky wooden frames?!), but much like aqua net, those frames have phased out. Now print sizes really depend on how you plan to display the photos in your home. An easy...
In mid-July or so, I had mentioned that I was in the running for Best Photographer in Berks County, organized by The Reading Eagle. Then a few weeks ago, I received a called from the Reading Eagle informing me that I was voted Best Photography Studio! Thank you so much to all of my amazing clients...

Over the years, I’ve found myself in numerous online photography groups and forums. One of the more popular topics covers whether or not to send couples surprises after they book their wedding day. I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve read that it’s a waste of money to add any extras and that...
