Ok, here’s the deal with this post. It is NOT a tutorial on how to make a perfect wall gallery. (There are already dozens of posts on that topic.) This is my very honest accounting of all the mistakes I made in my own wall gallery.  I’m sharing it for two reasons: 1.) I […]

I look forward to seeing you on November 5!********* Hi friends, I have a big announcement! For the first time ever, I’m offering mini sessions this fall. While […]
