Travel is often seen as something that only the rich do while on vacation, staying in 5-star hotels on resorts. I had the same opinion of travel coming from a lower middle-class family and having our yearly vacation be a two-hour drive to the Lakes Region in NH.
It wasn’t until I became an adult that I realized the world was my oyster and world travel is something that does not have to cost a fortune. Since coming to this realization, travel has been my outlet from stress, depression and has helped me dramatically with anxiety.

Have you ever wanted to dive into the world of photography but felt held back by the cost? While it’s true how every few years there’s new state-of-the-art equipment on the market with the latest and greatest technology, buying used equipment is a cost-effective way to maximize value without compromising performance. While older gear may lack the latest features, they were once top-of-the-line and can still produce excellent images. Many people believe the misconception that you need to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on gear to get good images. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not the case. In fact, you can spend less than $100 and still capture stunning images. This guide will show you how to get started with affordable gear, and I’ll share tips for practicing your skills without breaking the bank.

The murals on each floor of the new STEM wing were recently displayed. Each mural is themed to match the labs taught on each floor.
The classrooms in the new wing are devoted to STEM classes, but there are also study spaces on the top two floors, which are open to all students. Whether in the devoted STEM study rooms or using the new furniture in the hall of the wing, students may study during operating hours.

First blog, ever. So bear with me. Ultimately, in this blog, I’d like to tell you all about my experiences on shoots and things that are happening now in my photography life, but before I do that I should brief you on how I got to this point. So, the background to all of this good stuff goes a little something like this: this past summer I decided to pursue photography after being in school for elementary education for three years. I got my first camera, took some classes, yada yada yada, now I’m starting my own business. End scene.
