What an amazing week of education, friends, and fun! 😊 Professional Photographers of America’s annual convention is always amazing! This year’s convention in Nashville was my ninth, and I keep going back for more. With four full days of classes, inspiring speakers, the Expo, IPC Exhibit, Awards Night, parties and galas, meetings, and running into old friends and new, there is nothing like it. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Louisville in 2024! 📷🎉

What an amazing place! We enjoyed an adventure from Reykjavík to Jökulsárlón. The scenery was so beautiful, and, with a landscape covered in snow, it was almost otherworldly. Winter in Iceland is cold and mostly dark, but the sunrises and sunsets are majestic. And, we saw the Northern Lights!!! We cannot wait to go back again in the summer.😍
