Back when I first started photography, I was interested in signing up for a workshop to expand my knowledge base. I knew that I didn’t want a typical college classroom set up; I was looking for something that would speak to the direction I wanted to move my business in and learn from someone whose […]

Okay, I should probably preface what I’m about to talk about. So as you all might know, Rob and I have a very energetic, 2-year old pup named Granger (more about her  here). To keep her a bit — subdued — we have to walk her… A LOT. I’m talking up to 5 miles a […]
