Peter and I recently watched a documentary called Happy. One of the secrets to happiness they described is novelty – facing new and unfamiliar experiences.

A few months ago, I made a list of goals.Today, I get to cross the very first goal off of my list: learn something in person from a photographer that I respect. Those of you who know me best know that I’m kind of a “go big or go home” type of person. If I’m [...]

As of Thanksgiving day, I have been alive for two whole decades. Although I can no longer call myself a “teenage business owner,” being twenty is pretty cool. Oh, and I know what you’re thinking.
