What makes me happy? My kids. But a close runner up is teaching what I love. Photography, styling and editing. Last fall I had the immense pleasure to share my knowledge of photography, styling and Adobe Lightroom editing with the following 10 incredible ladies last year October/November 2018. Some were bloggers, professional photographers, bakers and we even had a published author!
