I find it wonderful that I have lived in Richmond for 18 years and can still visit a park for the first time.  My return clients know that I suggest locations for sessions, but I also love when they ask …

How To Torture Yourself with What If

October 10, 2018

What’s black, white, and red all over? A very cute, striped top that I wore once to work and promptly managed to get ink on (the white part, of course) during a meeting. It then sat in my closet for …
