It’s that time of the year and if you have a photographer in your life, I have some suggestions for you.

I haven’t been posting a lot of work on Facebook because there’s good reason.

Parents are the primary teacher in life. They are the ones who set the standard of what is acceptable behavior. When they defer that responsibility to the teacher in school, I’m afraid that child is lost.

Because at the high school level, there can be no teaching happening in class when there is no discipline.
