Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I don’t remember learning how to read, but I remember reading. My mom read to me daily. She read books like Where the Red Fern Grows and A Wrinkle in Time. We read them over and over. And then I found my own books and devoured [...]
