Did you know? If you’re like most people, you think that lovely little cloud is backing up all of your photos. Here’s the truth: iCloud is a backup for your iPHONE. Not for your photos. Let me break it down:
iCloud is designed to mirror your phone. Everything on your phone is stored in iCloud. That way, if something happens to your phone (it shatters, gets dropped in water, just stops working, etc.), you don’t have to worry—you...

Spring Mother’s Day Family Mini Sessions | Wavering Place

9 years. That's a lot of milestones, precious moments, and artwork I've been able to create. But where are all of those photographs now? I hope they are lining the walls of homes, plastered all over social media, sitting in albums on coffee tables, and organized in a way that makes them easy to find and enjoy. That's the hope.
