In 2020, I’ve focused a lot of my efforts on growing my photography business. It’s been a nice distraction from the events in the outside world—a way to express myself and help others do the same. Based on some of my achievements, things have been going well: I developed an online photography course and completed […]

My third baby recently turned one about a month ago. Where does the time go?! After having three kids, I’ve discovered a few favorite baby items I just can’t live without, and I thought I’d share them with you today.
