Making a joke out of motherhood
My friend Jen needed a model without, in her words, “big saggy boobs”. I needed new headshots. We traded services and it was a win-win for all involved. Especially because Jen takes amazing photos and the client of hers that…
March may be the snowiest month in Colorado but April features the sneakiest snow. Probably because it goes from 73 degrees one day to 23 degrees the next. Everyone is ready for spring and yet Mother Nature has to be…
