My Business Resources
Hey friends! Today, I’m shifting gears a little bit. With this global pandemic we are in, new small businesses are popping up like crazy and I LOVE it. Seeing my friends getting creative with their skills has been amazing!! I’ve had a few people reach out asking what resources I use for organizing and running my business. There are so many decisions to make when starting a business, so today, I’m sharing my resources! I’ve gone through my fair share of trial and error and I hope this blog can save you some of that hassle! Some are specifically photography related (like my personal gear), but many of my resources can be used by all types of creatives.
Quick note: I’m an affiliate for some of the business resources on this page, which means I get a small commission whenever a purchase is made using one of the links or codes here, or anywhere else on our site. It doesn’t cost you extra. In many cases, I’ve been able to grab you a special deal or discount that will actually save you money –– so it’s a win-win! Plus, you can rest assured knowing that I only endorse products and services that I personally use, as I know they are amazing.

"We had previously experienced Haleigh's work at my brother's wedding and we knew we had to have her for our wedding as well! Haleigh is an exceptionally gifted photographer and as we viewed the wedding album we got more and more excited about each wonderful moment that was perfectly captured. We loved how easy it was to work with Haleigh and all of the fun and creative ideas that she had to create some truly special pictures. Haleigh actually came up to the DC area for us - not once, but twice (engagement and wedding pics)! And yet despite the distance, it was really and truly easy to work with her."

"Haleigh and Jack are two of the most amazing, sincerest individuals that I have ever worked with! We adore them so much and they made my fiancé and I feel like pros while taking pictures. We had initially had our engagement pictures taken by someone else and they were really disappointing, so we turned to Haleigh and Jack and they made us feel so comfortable, had a BLAST (who knew taking pictures in the Florida heat could be fun?!), and our photos turned out so much more than amazing. We have found our forever photographer and we are so grateful to have had the experience to work with Haleigh and Jack (and of course Rocky, too!)"

""Haleigh and Jack are amazing! They had our wedding date available only three months out and their prices are ridiculously reasonable. They both take such amazing photos and Haleigh goes out of her way to make you feel special and pamper you a little bit. She even has an exclusive FB page for her brides where we all share tips and ask questions. Their photos are incredible and their post processing really gave us the feeling we were looking for in our photos. Plus, we got our photos back in less than two weeks! Lastly, my new husband isn’t the most social in the world and was nervous about having someone in his ready room but Jack made him totally comfortable and they got along great.""
