Deciding to give up going to WPPI, I talked with my husband about how it could and should potentially be more beneficial. But I honestly didn’t know. The reviews were good, but who posts bad reviews?

500 miles north of Richmond is a town called New Haven. Two photographers, Amanda and Stephanie, and I have driven up here from good ol’ Virginia yesterday.

Today, I have a long to-do list. I’m packing for two trips at once so I need to stay super focused! This weekend, Chad’s parents invited us to Liberty to watch Chad’s brother’s play.
