There is an older gentleman who lives in our neighborhood who walks with a walker. We see him out everyday walking his beloved beagle. As you would expect, the gentleman can’t walk very fast, but his beloved pup matches his pace with his tail wagging furiously the whole time. Seeing them out on their daily excursion, enjoying each other and the sights, sounds and smells of a lovely morning always makes us happy. #TrueLove #MorningSmiles #Devotion

We love it when our clients share their portraits completely “finished!” To see happy Trix matted and framed and hanging in her permanent place of honor is such a treat. Thank you Tad for sharing this image with us.

“Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.” – Bob Kerrey #BeKindToAllKinds

In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND! #BeKindToAllKinds

A little over a year ago, Jimmydog suffered a huge personal loss. While riding his bike, Stephanie’s brother Alex was hit and killed by a drunk driver. On what would have been his 52nd birthday, we would like to share this beautiful tribute to him.
It’s called the Alex Hayden effect. Read it. Learn it. Live it.
• Be generous without fear.
• Assume the best in people.
• Stay curious, keep learning.
• Share your gifts freely.
• Offer your help without thinking twice.
• Smile first.
• Say yes more often.
• Above all else, always choose kindness.
Any moment when you feel lost of unsure or just need a push in the right direction, take a breath, say “AH” and think: “What would Alex do?” This is the #TheAlexHaydenEffect
Pass. It. On.
