In 2024,

I did a lot of personal growth, and took some time to get better at photography. I bought some books, watched plenty of podcasts and videos, and dove in fully to my craft. Although I still have a lot to learn , I was very proud of myself for staying committed to learning and growing while also learning and growing to be the best mom I can be to our 2 year old. I feel as if photography takes a lot of practice to learn what exactly you need to work on, my biggest thing I worked on last year was shutter speed and ISO. Ive seen a huge difference in my shots after studying, reviewing and practicing those two things. Framing and Composition were also what I made sure to study and practice. I was also very grateful to have met so many of you that have been to kind and welcoming to me. I appreciate all the support more than you know!


On New Years Eve, my husband and I found out we were welcoming Baby #2 into this world! SHE will be here August 2025, and we are SOOO excited.


Thank you for reading this and again all your support is deeply appriciated.


Much love,


Katelyn Busby :)
