What to do when your child gets an owie before family pictures

You’ve scheduled your family pictures. Your outfits are all coordinated and ready for the big day. You’re just hoping for no curve balls before your family piles into the car to head out for family portraits. And then, your child comes home with a a big goose egg on their forehead. What to do?

2021: The Year in Photos

2021. What. A. Year. I can’t believe that it’s over and we are already a day in to 2022! This past year has had its share of ups and downs; despite its challenges I’m reminded of all of the fun I had with my camera! So, I decided to create a grid of 12 photos that highlight the year for me. And because I can’t just leave it at 1 grid, I made one for both me personally, as well as my client work.
