    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. We had connections, we had humans and friends who wanted pictures.…

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

    Soooooooo yea it’s been a minute since I last wrote. That’s my chaotic life. A handful of you say this blog is helpful for the military life stuff or that you think I am funny and relatable, or that I am a captivating writer/story teller. I just didn’t and don’t really believe it. I’m just a classic gal who gets bad imposter syndrome. AKA I totally laughed off when people would say that because I never thought this blog would see the light of day. I also cringe saying ‘I write a blog’ because I don’t want to be grouped into the blogger/influencer category. But I’m also not a writer.…

I’ve decided my new motto is the title of this post. “My life is a shit show, but I’m thriving” really accurately describes the chaos I’ve endured over the past year. I know haven’t written a post in a bit and that’s because I’m a human and clearly I can’t be bothered to do anything productive when I’m: living that beach life living that temporarily homeless life living that Thanksgiving life or living that moving for the millionth time this year life As you know we embarked…

    When Life Gives You Lemons Just Move …Again

    I don’t even know where to begin this post, but I will warn you it’s long. I’ll at least try to humor you through it, because this has to all be a huge joke.  It’s to the point that I’m waiting and wondering what the next crazy thing in our life will be. If you follow me on Instagram I’m sure you’ve been wondering what happened (or maybe not, let’s be real I’m writing this more for my future self than anything). So here it goes- We technically got evicted, but we knew it was coming.  Cue the questions. Let me get everyone up to speed. So we were buying…

    Welcome

    Welcome to the winging it lifestyle!  I want to open up a space where hopefully some of my experiences can help others who are trying to navigate the military and various adulthood topics. I don’t like to take life too seriously, so I want this to be a fun space for me and for you! How to Navigate: The Military Topics tab is pretty self explanatory. I’ll have topics on Marine Corps life, being a military spouse, making friends, pilot wife life, etc. If there are any topics you ever want me to discuss, please comment and let me know! The Things I Googled tab is also self explanatory, but I’ll post…
