Great Grad Shots

Next week kicks off a wave of graduation ceremonies in my neck of the woods. Our city is home to seven high schools and all of them are hosting commencement exercises following the Memorial Day weekend. That means shutterbugs and their cameras will be working overtime in the coming days.

This is especially true if you are planning to craft a graduation-themed scrapbook or feature pictures of your high school senior at a post-commencement party. … Continue reading →

Genealogists know that those photos are a great source of family history and family stories. In the mail today, I got something that I had been looking forward to. It was a small package of photos that I ordered from the photographer who my sister hired to take photos at her wedding. Somehow, I managed to wait until the last minute to make this purchase.
