The New Year has arrived and we wanted to share with you 10 easy steps you can take to make sure this is the best (and most organized!) year for all your photo needs:

1. Plan your photo sessions for the year.

Some important photo sessions to keep in mind could be January business headshots, May Mother’s Day photos, June Father’s Day photos, Fall photos for Christmas cards, back to school photos, December “Home for the Holiday” photos, and so much more!  (more…)

For many people, home decorating isn’t just a fun hobby; it is what makes a house feel like a home, and allows you to creatively implement your own unique style.  Every home is different, and each is decorated in its own way, but there are always certain homes that stand out as memorable.  These homes are the ones that hold the precious memories of family photos.
