We recently took a trip to Charleston, SC which is where family lives and I brought along my camera. There have been times in the past where I wouldn't bother, but I am taking a documentary photography class, so I was more motivated than usual. Also, though, I...

When I talk to people about creativity, most believe that they are not creative. I believe that everyone has the potential to be creative but so many things hold us back in that pursuit. Fear is the probably the number one offender, so much so that even in Julia...

An Announcement   You may have noticed that my website has changed a bit and I wanted to say that I am now offering documentary family sessions. Documentary is my favorite way to capture family photographs and I think it’s a unique offering for the Upstate area....

I am so excited to have been accepted as a Lensbaby Ambassador!!! Lensbaby is a company that creates specialty lenses for cameras. They are a small company and they have some of the best customer service. I got my first lens last year, the Trio 28, and immediately...

I have a newsletter on Substack that is more focused on creative well being vs just photography.. If you’d like to read or subscribe, you can see my latest post. Wendi’s Substack Wendi’s Substack 

It's interesting thinking about the ways in which I explore my own creativity. As a child, I was a dancer and thought that would be my career. I never made my way to New York and I find myself searching for other mediums to express myself. B.P. (before photography),...

I first met Jennifer at a blogging meet up group approximately 6-8 years ago. She was very welcoming and I was socially anxious so she made me feel at ease. Through the years, we have kept in touch via instagram and I feel lucky to have such an intelligent and...

In December of 2019, the kids got a trampoline for Christmas. Thank goodness because we all know what happened in 2020. The trampoline saved our lives that year. All of the kids in the neighborhood would come to our house and play for hours on the trampoline. Through...

This is the first post in a series I plan on doing where I highlight some of my favorite photographers. I picked an obvious choice among women photographers today, so obvious, in fact, that I almost didn't choose her. Vivian Maier was a street photographer who's work...

I have taken a bit of break which I realize isn't really that different from the norm. Coming up with a new blog post each week felt a little over whelming so I decided to Lazy Genius my posts and create somewhat of a schedule. Each week will be a category so you can...

This is a week where things caught up on me quickly. All of the sudden, it's Sunday evening and I still need to write both this blog post AND my newsletter. I have the topic picked out but I haven't put ideas to paper, so to speak. The thing is, I want to be...

Social media gets a bad rap, but it has given me the gift of a broad community throughout the world. I have met many women photographers, and moms, and I feel lucky to have grown some of those friendships beyond the apps. In our conversations, I have noticed a common...

In the new age community, abundance is a common theme. Many are looking to increase their wealth and so they tap into these new age modalities to increase abundance. More often than not, this refers to money, but it can also include other things like time, patience,...

You've probably heard of the Enneagram. It's all the rage these days, in spite of the fact that it's been around for quite some time. It's become increasingly popular over the past 10-20 years, especially in Christian circles, probably because of writers like Richard...

2020 was a shit show. How did we make it? I think the first part of the year, I was hunkering down, digging into the uncomfortable, and just praying that nobody got sick, or worse. The second half of the year, our mental health began to take a toll and we had to start...

One of the things I've been thinking about recently has been how I present myself in the photography world. I get a bit of imposter syndrome as I begin to take on an "identity". When I first made Click Pro, I struggled with putting myself in the "Click Pro Master"...

One of my hesitations for tackling a 365 project this year is the same issue I have ever year, my ability to commit and stay disciplined is weak. And just as I expected, I have missed a few days this year. As always, I am continuing to take pictures and I am calling...

One of the things I've been thinking about recently is how we utilize things to create a feeling, a sense of nostalgia. I was reading in this month's Magnolia Journal, and I noticed how Joanna talks about the feelings of Autumn. She mentions creating a list of things...

In mid march, when South Carolina shut everything down, I was afraid. Of course, I was afraid of Covid 19 because I had no idea what it was and how it would affect us, but I'm not talking about that fear. I was afraid of how I was going to entertain the kids without...

For the first time in my life, I am grateful for living in a small town with lots of space. In spite of the stay at home order, we have been able to play outside. We've been able to ride our bikes through the neighborhood and stretch our legs in beautiful weather. I...

This past week, I returned from a trip to the Click Away Conference in Atlanta, GA. This is the second time I've attended Click Away and it did not disappoint. I wrote about my trip to Amelia Island in 2018 which was the last time I attended. Clickinmoms is an...
