I love to hear the story of how two souls collided and fell in love! I traveled to California recently to attend United.  United is a photographers conference that was held in Santa Barbara.  I’ll share more details from the conference in a few days.  While in California, I decided to spend some time in […]

Today I received a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do. In December, you may recall, I did a beauty shoot with one of the make-up artists that I have a working relationship with.  She commented that she was awkward in front of the camera but I say everything but awkwardness.  When she […]
