what are your almost-friday-daydreams? #hlgphotography⠀ ⠀ oh hey here ig friends 👋🏼 i haven’t posted in a million years it feels like, yet i still gained some followers while i was away! figured it was a perfect time for a few facts about me and my business.⠀ .⠀ first of all, this isn’t my usual look... even though i totally wish i could channel my inner donna pinciotti every day. my friend @kellyjoyb came to visit, and i taught her how to use my camera. by that i mean i got all the settings ready and showed her how to back-button focus 😅 she crushed it considering how uncomfortable i am in front of the camera haha. i nanny during the day, so my normal look mainly consists of clothes that can get baby mess on them 😂 #nannylife⠀ .⠀ marketing is simultaneously my favorite and least favorite part of running my business. it’s really interesting, and kind of fun, to learn all the ins and outs of it, but man. SO overwhelming. i can’t wait for the day i can hire someone to help me with it 😝⠀ .⠀ i always do a little happy dance every time i book a wedding or session in real life, and i usually will post it on my story, but i’ve been slacking. check my story later tonight to see me catch up with everyone who i owe a happy dance to 😂⠀ . ⠀ i am and always have been obsessed with youtube, and video making in general. i used to make all kinds of videos when i was in middle and high school, and i’ve been toying with the idea of starting back up with it. i would be vlogging about running my business and about my life as an entrepreneur. so, think ig stories but longer 😏 if you’d be interested in something like that, let me know! i haven’t seen any vlog channels from creative entrepreneurs so if you have any recommendations i’d love to hear them! ⠀ . ⠀ thanks for sticking around even though i’m the worst at ig and disappear for weeks on end randomly 💕💕 Happy Friday and happy one month until @itsjustel and @seay_beauty 's wedding! I'm so jazzed to see these cuties get married 😍 #hlgphotography ___________________ #atlantaweddingphotographer #atlantawedding #atlantaengagementphotographer #engagementphotoideas #georgiaweddings #togetherjournal #postthepeopleatl #apracticalwedding #atlantaphotographer #georgiaweddingphotographer #weddingsonpoint #unconventionaltogs #blackloveisbeautiful #summerwedding #southernnoirweddings #blackloveexists #weddinglovebug #soulsreconnected #seaymasseytietheknot #hbculove #weloveatl #radcouples #forloveandadventure #justalittleloveinspo #greenweddingshoes #loveauthentically #loveintentionally #shesaidyes #portraitenvy i planted it once, just assumed it would grow - @manchesterorchestra 🌿💛#hlgphotography ____________________ #under3kyo #tangledinfilm #portraitenvy #creativesontherise #atlantaphotographer #atlantaseniorphotographer #sombresociety #theportraitcentral #postthepeopleatl #atlontherise #gramkilla #portraitfolk #portraitsvisuals #creativepeoplemag #portraitcollective #visualmasters #visualfolk #portraitsatl #hcollective #almostgraduated #seniorinspire #atlantaseniorpictures #seniorchic #theseniorscope #seniorsociety #thelookseniors #seniorstyleguide #instasenior #classof2018 that feeling when you're about to kiss your crush 😗 #hlgphotography ____________________ #groomstyle #intimatewedding #radcouples #radlovers #atlantaengagementphotographer #atlantaweddingphotographer #atlantaphotographer #georgiaweddingphotographer #firstsandlasts #firstkiss #weddinglovebug #justalittleloveinspo #loveandwildhearts #shesaidyes #ourlovestory #postthepeopleatl #douglasvilleweddingphotographer #douglasvillephotographer #inlovewithlovely #weddingpioneer #norcalweddingphotographer #santacruzphotographer #bayareaweddingphotography #sanjosephotographer #sanfranciscophotographer #soloverly #loveintentionally #huffpostido if you need a #womancrushwednesday, you can't have @2dubb_xi because she's mine 😍 #hlgphotography ____________________ #atlboudoir #atlantaboudoirphotography #atlantaboudoir #atlantaweddingphotographer #atlantaengagementphotographer #atlantacouplephotographer #domorewearless #empoweredwomen #boudoirsession #intimateportraits #boudoir_stories #effyourbeautystandards #creativepeoplemag #boudoirwholehearted #bestboudoir #loveyourselffirst #boudoirinspiration #moodyboudoir #laceinlight #bridalboudoir #atlantabride #atlantawedding #badassbabes #boudoirparty2018 #beautyandboudoir #lingeriephotography #norcalphotographer #santacruzweddingphotographer @usfca better watch out, because @nicole___cali is coming for ya, and she's ready to kick some ass and make some a's 👊🏽💯🎓 #hlgphotography ____________________ #atlantaphotographer #sanfranciscophotographer #atlantaseniorphotographer #bayareaseniorphotographer #sanjoseseniorphotographer #norcalphotographer #atlantaseniorportraits #seniorportraits #classof2018 #classof2022 #makeportraits #sfmodel #seniorphotographer #almostgraduated #usfca #universityofsanfrancisco #atlantaseniorportraits #douglascounty #douglasvillephotographer #dchs #theseniorcollective #atlphotographer #seniorinspire #thetwelfthyear #seniorstyleguide #classof2019 #thesavvyseniors #portraitcollective #theseniorstunner fun fact about me: i'm actually realllllly scared of sparklers. i burnt myself on one as a child, and while my pinkie finger survived the ordeal, my soul has not. every sparkler send off throws me into a downward spiral of anxiety. but dontchu worry my friend, i power through and make sure you remember your magical *cough*terrifying*cough* moment forever ✨✨✨ #hlgphotography ⠀ ____________________⠀ #atlantaphotographer #atlantaweddingphotographer #atlantawedding #blueridgephotographer #blueridgewedding #sparklerexit #sparklersendoff #sparklers #bayareaweddingphotographer #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #unconventionaltogs #bridalportrait #theknot #destinationweddingphotographers #thisisreportage #realmoments #brideandgroom #hitched #bridalmusings #weddingphotoideas #loveandwildhearts #adventurealways #dirtybootsandmessyhair #forloveandadventure #georgiawedding #norcalphotographer #mountainweddingphotographer #atlantabride #georgiawedding #snugglesaturday coming in hot 🔥 these two weren’t afraid to full on make out in front of the camera and i was all about it #creepythingsphotographerssay 😂 #hlgphotography ____________________ #atlantaweddingphotographer #atlantacouples #newnanweddingphotographer #newnanphotographer #atlantaphotographer #inlovewithlovely #loveandwildhearts #weloveatl #radlovestories #radcouples #oarsandbeanies #dirtybootsandmessyhair #authenticlovemag #loveauthentically #engagementsession #californiaweddingphotographer #santacruzweddingphotographer #sanjoseweddingphotographer #norcalphotographer #wanderfolk #adventuresession #georgiawedding #georgiaweddingphotographer #newlyengaged
