This October we've been celebrating SEVEN YEARS of Langhoff Creative! On one hand, it's crazy to think it's only been that long, and on the other, it feels like it's just always been this way. I thought it would be interesting to share seven of our lessons from the last seven years.
Read MoreLeave your matching outfits in the closet; your vintage couch isn't going in any field. You don't need to be "good in front of the camera" for this type of session. Your house doesn't need to be spotless and your kids don't need to act like perfect angels... The more "everyday," the better!
Read MoreIt's a brand new, re-focused, refreshed Langhoff Creative—complete with a fancy new website to reflect it! Like any artist, my inspiration comes from many places, my view of the world around me shifts, and the expression of my creativity is always in transition. I'm thrilled to make this announcement!
Read MoreCan you SEE the excitement written on my face??? Today was a big day for me—my brand spankin' new website went live! I've been working so hard to make serious updates for quite some time—you know, in between moming, wifeing, sleeping and other role-related, time-consuming [yet beautiful 😉 ] tasks.
Read MoreI stood, staring in the mirror at my puffy, swollen eyelids a couple days ago on the morning of my 33rd birthday. I had been crying the night before because in the chaos of spinning too many plates without a break, a whole bunch of unrelated emotions caught up with me all at once and I felt crushed by the heavy weight of their pressure. Ever been there? I'm hoping these three thoughts on WORDS empower you the same way they did me, rocking you out of your "feelings funk."
Read MoreI still remember the exact feeling I had on that day six years ago. It was equally exhilarating and terrifying at the same time... This post is all about what the last six years have held for us and the dreams we have for the next six.
Read MoreI had been in the habit of blogging about 3 times a week. Toward the end of last year, that began to taper down to about once a week, and now it has been about 7 months since my last post. I’m not even upset about it. Why? I’m SO excited to share with you all, actually. There were three pretty big reasons I took a break from blogging, and it has been one of the most transitional, challenging and refreshing times of my entire life. I’ve been posting daily on Instagram (@amberlanghoff), but it’s about time I filled you in here…
Read MoreThis past month was one of the most exhausting months we've ever experienced, but one of the most meaningful, as well. Our last 28 days have held visits to 7 states for both business and pleasure. (That included 8 planes, 7 cars, a smattering of shuttle buses, and 10 different places to lay our heads at night.) Each trip was very special to us for different reasons! Although our bodies are tired and our suitcase is worn out, our hearts are SO full. What a blessing this month has been!
Here are some photo highlights from June...
Read MoreLanghoff Creativ is now proud to introduce our newest offering: REAL LIFE SESSIONS - documentary family photography!
"Photography is a means of recording forever the things one sees for a moment." Each passing day is filled with little, seemingly mundane moments that are fleeting and irreplaceable. Read all about these new, exciting Sessions...
Woohoo! A new version of LanghoffCreative.com is officially LIVE, as of yesterday. Have you had a chance to explore the shiny, new features? Here are some of the things we love about our updates, some insight to our new title, and even a sneak peek to the second phase of our updates.
Read MoreIf you missed our last blog post, then you missed our teaser! "Transition" has been the buzzword in our home and office over the last four months as we've moved our lives and business from WI to NC. We've taken an evaluative look at all the things we love, done some dreaming and have some exciting news to share with you about our business.
Read MoreWe're not exactly sure how it's possible we've been running Langhoff Creative for FOUR YEARS... God granted us this business, and He has never ceased to amaze us or provide for us along the way. All glory is HIS!
Chad and I are blown away when we think about all we've learned, all that has been accomplished, the improvements we've made, and all of the AMAZING people we've had the privilege of partnering with. We owe a huge thank you to each and every one of you who has had a hand in the growth of our business—whether by hiring us, engaging with us on social media, passing our name along to your friends, encouraging us, or praying for us.
Read MoreAs we plan to move our business from southeastern Wisconsin to Raleigh, North Carolina next month (details on that move here), the timing seemed perfect for us to really think through our product/service offering, business plan, and our general vision for Langhoff Creative.
These last four years of running our own business have been quite the wild [exciting] ride and we have learned so much—about our own personalities, the types of clients we attract, our true passions, and the ways we prefer prioritizing our time. Mix those lessons with the dreams we have for our future in NC, and you've got Langhoff Creative 2.0!
Read MoreIf you've known me or Chad for any length of time, you probably know that we are not people who are willing to settle for the comfort zone. We're constantly trying to think outside the box as we keep our eyes peeled for the next adventure God has in mind for us. Every year we set aside time to dream about the future, set goals and then put a plan in place to reach them. This year, as we've been wrestling with the "What's next for us" question, we know God has called us to something big.
Read MoreNick and Angela have one of the most adorable relationship stories. It is one of laughter, long walks together and carnival rides, but they admit they have definitely put in a fair amount of work to make it the long lasting relationship it is today. Chad and I enjoyed getting to know these two as we did their Engagement Session this past winter. (Plus, you'd never guess how C-O-L-D it was during this shoot...they were such troopers!) We think their images turned out to be beautiful.
As you read their story, I hope you enjoy these Session highlights...
