31 Days of Before & After Shots: Day 4
I took this shot a couple of years ago in Pigeon Forge, TN, at a Cracker Barrel on our 25th anniversary trip. I love the retro Coca-Cola cooler and the glass bottles, but the photo is very yellow (as most indoor, non-flash, nighttime photos are). Also, I wanted the...

Dear Me . . . {a letter to my teenage self}
Dear Me: I'm traveling back over half a lifetime to whisper words in your young ear: some to encourage, some to warn. All are well-meant. Honestly, girl, you spend too much time worrying about the size of your nose and your bowed legs. Once the days of drill team and...
