Canada {VACATIONS do exist}

YES, finally after 4 years hubster and I went on a REAL vacation and on an airplane!  I know, shocker!
It's tough with kids and taking care of an elderly parent but after planning for over 15 months and paying....we had the most amazing time in Canada.  I'm definitely NOT a landscape photographer but I may expand after this trip!!  AMAZING beauty!  I think Heaven looks a lot like Banff!!!  <3  

Enjoy the beauty, it's breathtaking!!

Customizable Cell Phone Covers {Photographers for a Cure}

Respect {Professional Photographer}

I pulled this from a fellow photog's FB page, Natalie Bee.

Not sure whom the original creator of this document is but they are spot on and should be credited!  Professional photographers work harder than most and when you break down the hourly wage, it's less than someone who is flippin burgers!  Someone will comment with horrific words of "just quit".  I could but why give up on a dream?  Why rob the world of amazing portraiture and art?  What if Ansel Adams just gave up?  Or Annie Leibovitz said just forget it?  How about Anne Geddes?  Just three of the photographers that have inspired me to keep working at what I love no matter the cost.  Think about that next time you stare at the amazing photograph your photographer captured of a family member.

Wishing you all Peace, Love, Hope, and Photographs!
