This week, we—Scott and Raelani—sit down to unpack how our photography business keeps growing, shifting, and surprising us in ways we never saw coming. We chat about our latest round of bridal shows and why the Ford Field event totally stole the spotlight with stronger leads, smoother organization, and way fewer “oh no… not this again” moments.

We also dive into our newest adventure: livestock photography at Michigan State. Even though we didn’t land the exact contract we were aiming for, the experience opened our eyes to a whole new market we’re genuinely excited to explore.

And somewhere between all the business updates, we get real about balancing work, family life, and prepping for an upcoming Detroit wedding. It’s an honest look at what it’s really like running a family‑owned brand that captures everything from high‑end wedding days to the everyday beauty of agricultural life
