Track Your Travel Bucket List with these Products I Love

I love a good list of any kind and what’s even better is a travel themed list. My husband and I want to see the entire world, and while that clearly not possible, checking off all the states in the US, all the National Parks, and all the iconic spots in the world is do-able, and a fun way to track your travel. This is made even more fun when I get to add a sticker to a water bottle or a photo to an album. I get to check-off a place and keep a memory from it. That’s why I’ve rounded up some of my favorite products to track your travels. This post may contain affiliate links. Which means

It is officially the month of love and no holiday gets more hate than Valentine’s Day. I think it gets a bad rap. I love Valentine’s Day for no real reason, I’m not into the cheesy but I am into chocolate covered strawberries. The same goes for Paris, it gets a bad rap. That’s why I’m sharing Paris themed gifts. Before I went to Paris for the first time my expectations were very low. Everyone told me that Paris is dirty and the people are rude and I did not find this to be true. However, I loved Paris for everything that is and I love Valentine’s Day for the same reason. This post may contain affiliate links. Which means

10 Types of Photographic Prints that Make the Best Gifts

No matter what you’re celebrating, photographic prints are always a good idea and a meaningful gift. The reality is that so many people don’t do this.

As a professional photographer, I can’t possibly keep every photo I take forever for my clients. It would just cost too much. I keep them for a long time, longer than most, but the ultimate backup needs to be done by the client. The best way to do this is to print your favorites. What I really don’t understand is that people will spend 100s on a photo session but

How to Print Photos to Display Them in Ways You’ll Love

Do you print your photos? Do you know how to print photos in a way that you can display them? Or do they stay on your computer/phone forever? What if I told you that fewer than half of people have printed photos anymore? That means it’s not uncommon. BUT… experts believe that because of how quickly technology changes it’s possible we could lose access to our digital photos. This is because we won’t be able to use the technology in future years.
