I don’t usually post anything on this photo blog except previews for my clients. But, meh, I took some photos today for a photography column that I write and thought this blog could use a little Christmas spirit. I know I could sure use some considering there isn’t any SNOW?! Don’t get me started.

My Favorite Super Easy Homemade Christmas Gift
You may not know this, but I’m a closet crafty person. I have a room full of scrapbooking supplies that I never have time to use, and an entire office full of assorted epoxies, rubber stamp kits, ribbons and jars of random stuff one might use to “make things.” They just sit and collect dust,...

Creepy Abandoned House Part 1 | Rockford IL Photographer
