"Even if you go for it and it doesn't work out, you still win.  You still had the guts enough to head straight into something that frightened you.  That type of bravery will take you places." -Evan Sanders 

Hosting my first ever Spring mini-sessions was a new experience in my business.  I was nervous, yet excited to try something new.  From finding a booking site, and encountering errors along the way, to finding a great location, and learning "studio" setups; I accomplished it!  Not to mention the fear of the possibility of NO ONE signing up! Nonetheless, I had 4 lovely families come out to Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden to spend a Saturday afternoon with me.  The weather wasn't ideal, but my families embraced the day.  Thank you to Klehm, my amazing friend Jon who helped me during the sessions, and my lovely families that supported my new endeavor!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day.  Enjoy!
