I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve got 80% of our kitchen cabinets back together and almost all the doors are fully painted. So I’m optimistic that by the end of the week I’ll have the kitchen completely done (& then I can post pictures). Of course knowing …

Why Did I…?
A couple weeks ago, someone asked a question: “Why did you get into photography in the first place?” I thought it was an interesting question and one worth really thinking about. So I’ve been reminiscing and contemplating about where and why I started this crazy journey into creating my own photography business. So many photographers …
A Friday Update…
It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting in my living room trying to decide what to share with you.

Why Professional Prints Cost More Than Convenience Store Prints
Over and over again I hear people question how a photographer can charge X amount of dollars for a 4×6 when it only costs $0.29 to print off a 4×6 at Wal-Mart or your local convenience store. While at first this may seem like a logical question, there are many reasons a professional photographers prints …
