Rain and grey skies are constant reminders that rainy season has arrived, even if the weather has been more unpredictable than your common woman! Sunshine-y skies one day, thunderstorms the next.

It is so sad to hear about kids being involved in drugs and parents forcing them to go to drug rehab only to learn they end up running away from the drug rehab center and get involved with deeper addictions. They need recovery from drug addiction! The first thing an addict needs to do first [...]

Local Wedding Photographers I know are fully booked. Actually, wedding season here is from December to February and not June like in the US. My wedding photographer supplier, since [...]
