A reminder for every creative: you don’t have to have it all figured out to keep growing. ✨

Keep learning. Keep creating. Challenge yourself. Take the opportunity that scares you a little.

Your craft, your confidence, and your creative voice are built one small step at a time.

And most importantly, keep showing up even when progress feels slow.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you. And most importantly, keep showing up—even when progress feels slow.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve had the honor of snuggling a sweet newborn, and Baby Lake was the perfect little reminder of just how special these sessions are. 🤍

He slept so peacefully through the entire session and was simply perfect.

While I no longer offer newborn sessions, I’ll always make an exception for my precious friend, Alayna. Some moments are just too special to pass up. 🥹

Welcome to the world, sweet Baby Lake. You are so loved. 🤍

A special thank you to my bestie for letting me borrow her studio and beautiful props to photograph. I love you 💕 Moments By Marlee Photography

Photographers, please tell me I’m not the only one. 😂

Sometimes it’s not that we don’t have ideas. We have ALL the ideas. We’ve already envisioned the session, planned the lighting, picked the location, thought about the poses, edited the images in our head…

…and somehow still haven’t actually started. 😂

Perfectionism + procrastination is a wild combination because now I’m stressed about something that doesn’t even exist yet.

Just me? 👀

Guys!! Sorry I left you hanging but we have been busy working on some projects. Eeek! Can’t wait to share more about that later but for now we are thinking Sept. 21st for our lunch and learn day. Will that work for most??

Who’s interested in a Creative Business Lunch & Learn? ☕️✨

I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a long time, and I think it would be a great way for local photographers and other creative business owners to connect before the busy fall season.

The idea is simple:
📸 Network with other creatives
💡 Learn from guest speakers on business topics
🤝 Build relationships and support one another

This would be a relaxed lunch where we can learn, share ideas, and grow together.

Would this be something you’d be interested in? If so, drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments or tag another creative who might enjoy coming!
