My husband are taking an opportunity to spend a year in service while traveling around the globe. During that time, I'll be focused on volunteer activities and will likely not be posting anything new to this portrait photography blog. Thanks for following me thus far; I do continue to pick my portrait business back up upon our return to the USA, so stay tuned.

In Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, Europe, South America, and yes - in the USA. Children are particularly vulnerable to exploitation. It is real, it is heartbreaking, and you can make a difference through your everyday choices. Please learn more:
