Welcome baby Dillion! This Pewaukee newborn was welcomed into the world by his mom, dad, and big brother at the beginning of November.

Essentially they dyed a dozen eggs (6 blues and…

The other day I read an interesting perspective on black and white editing. This particular photographer said that she prefers all photos in an album/collection to be either in black and white OR color…not both. I’ve never taken the time to edit like this before, but I was super intrigued by the concept. Therefore, I chose to give it a try with…
