    Navigating Marketing Photography in a New Town Where You Know No One is Challenging

    Welcome back! The government didn’t shut down (yet), I haven’t been laid off (yet), but I have fully gone balls to the wall on marketing my photography business just in case. Since I last posted, McMillan Moments Photography is back in FULL swing. As always, I’m not really entirely sure what I’m doing. Of course, I’m doing my research and learning all the SEO things, but man it’s not exactly straightforward. Starting/Restarting and Marketing A Photography Business When You Don’t Know Anyone Typically, we haven’t really had an issue getting sessions scheduled where we’ve lived because we knew people.

    I’m Back and More Crazy Than Ever – This is My Chaotic Life.

When I met him he was just a guy with a dream of being a pilot and here we are some 5 years later and that dream has come true. I feel so lucky to have been part of his journey through it all.  His USMC journey started in Harrisonburg, VA and…

    About Me

    Welcome! My name is Danni and I wanted to create a fun and inviting space where I could write about navigating military life and my experiences “just winging it”. Where the name comes from: My husband makes fun of me quite often because I wing a lot of things I do – recipes, making things, this blog, dog care, the list goes on. The most infuriating part for him (or so I assume) is that I google how to do things and STILL end up winging it. I guess I just don’t like the confines of directions. Some times it works out very well for me, other times it doesn’t,…
