I never thought I'd be a master at marketing, but when I saw an opportunity while taking Mia's prom photos, I just went for it. And guess what? It worked! 


There I was, snapping away as Mia posed like a pro, when I casually strolled up to her parents. "What grade is Mia in?" I asked, playing it cool. As soon as the word "Junior" left their lips, I whipped out my business card faster than you can say "cheese" and said, "So you'll be looking for a senior photographer soon..." with a wink and a twinkle in my eye. Okay, maybe not quite like that, but it felt pretty slick.


Fast forward several months, and Mia contacted me for her senior photos. Score! She was an absolute dream to photograph again. Los Alamos offered endless charming spots, and Mia looked stunning in every single one. 


But the real magic next to Mia's electric smile? Her little dachshund, who kinda stole the show with his cuteness. The combination of Mia's elegance and her pup's adorableness made for some seriously unforgettable photos.


Turns out, sometimes all it takes is a bit of boldness and a well-timed business card to turn a casual conversation into a win-win. Here's to more happy accidents and capturing those picture-perfect moments!
