Oh these sweet souls!! Elizabeth, Heidi and Holly are my people. They are my business besties, encouragers, accountability partners, voices of reason, big dreamers, masterminds, motivators, jokesters… they are my wolfpack. We’ve been joined at the hip for about a year & a half and I cannot imagine where I’d be without these ladies! I can’t even imagine where my business would be without these ladies! Our businesses brought us into each others lives but we truly and genuinely are friends! We can talk business all day but we’re always there for each other on a personal level and I really appreciate that. We dance the night away at vendor parties, love on each others kiddos, have girls nights out either at a restaurant or someone’s home, talk business & planning late into the night at the studio, do an annual workcation together with some other amazing ladies… the list goes on and on! They were my sounding board while I built Let’s Wed and pushed me to go full-time with wedding photography. We talk on Voxer in a group chat every single day starting at 7am and usually end on Facebook messenger around 10pm haha!
Entrepreneur friends, do you have a ‘wolfpack’? A group of people close to you to dive into each other’s businesses and lives and help move you forward? Entrepreneurship can be such a lonely journey if you’re doing it all alone! Long days and nights behind your laptop doing the same projects can get pretty boring. Appreciate the family and friends in your lives who support your business but don’t be afraid to really invest your heart into like-minded people who reallyyyyyy get it. Care about their businesses just as much as your care about your own. Set goals, bounce ideas, get feedback, launch projects, lift each other up, share inspiring stories and also the heartbreaking ones. Do. not. do. it. alone. I LOVE when these ladies hit a milestone in their careers and life. We’re all in this together (cue the cheesy High School Musical song)!
The girls and I realized the only group pictures we had together were from iPhones! Not good haha! We reached out to the amazing Sharon Elizabeth Photography for a session where we could get group shots together and headshots for ourselves. We even made a day out of it and got our makeup done by Dhalia Edwards. We had the BEST TIME and laughed so much our cheeks hurt! Pair our silly crew with Sharon’s hilarious antics and you’ll get the images below haha! Ladies, I LOVE ya’ll! Thank you for pushing me forward, inspiring me and not letting me take life too seriously! xoxo!

We stopped at the cutest little ice cream parlor in Smithfield! Obviously the flavors were all delicious! I love how Sharon captured how incredibly silly we are hahaha. Especially around food!
Mint chocolate chip.. yummmmm! And branding win! 🙂 Insert your own hilarious capture here LOL!
Woo hoo I have a new headshot!! Thanks Sharon!!
Liz is not only an AMAZING wedding photographer, she’s also a creative coach for small businesses! Check out her site for emerging entrepreneurs at Creatives Live Happy. I can talk business with Liz all day every day and we’re always coming up with fresh ideas to implement into our businesses. We even traveled to Los Angeles this summer with our friend Crystal to launch new websites! Liz and I are actually working on something fun together for entrepreneurs coming early 2017 so stay tuned!
Heidi is an amazing newborn & family photographer. She has truly found her calling and I have loved watching her business evolve over the past year! Her work is BEAUTIFUL. She has shot so many weddings with me so be prepared for some fun behind the scenes photos of her next month 🙂
The below left will always be my favorite picture of Heidi hahahaha!!
Holly is a wedding planning extraordinaire! Whenever we have a wedding together, I can be 100% sure that the timeline will be perfect and the day will go smoothly. She is so organized and efficient in ALL things so she keeps our group straight when we are all over the place haha! She coordinated the Let’s Wed Bridesmaid Luncheon styled shoot and the entire process was so stress-free!
Love you girls!!!!!
