Growing up in Virginia, near the Potomac river, but still hours away from the ocean coast, I did not know much about the salt life that I read about in other people’s lives. Deciding where to start life over, we took my iPad and started following a path down the coast. “Let’s find a place […]
Taco Tuesday and Dream Talking
In between photo shoots today, Sean and I had a little time to kill.
