(pic from about a month ago, since I apparently don’t get myself in front of the camera anymore) If you’ve been following my blog for a few months, you might have noticed that I stopped doing “Body After Baby” posts on my postpartum weight loss progress. My excuse? There hasn’t been any progress, at least …
How to Take Portraits of Your Kids at Home
Something I’ve heard a lot of people say since I joined the photography business world is that they would love having more professional pictures taken of their families, but that they just can’t afford the prices (which I totally understand!). I’ve also had quite a few people tell me how much they love the monthly …
