Remember that we can’t fix the past and we can’t see the future. We might as well live in the present. It's important to be in the moment and to enjoy life.

Why is it important to be happy?

Happiness is an essential aspect of life, and it is crucial to our overall well-being and quality of life. There are several reasons why it is important to be happy.

Firstly, being happy helps to improve our physical health. Studies have shown that happy people are less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Happiness is also linked to a stronger immune system, lower levels of stress, and a longer lifespan.

Secondly, being happy helps to improve our mental health. Happiness can reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress. It can help us to cope with difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks more quickly. Being happy also helps to improve our relationships with others, as happy people tend to be more open, friendly, and compassionate.

Thirdly, being happy helps us to enjoy life more fully. When we are happy, we are more likely to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or pursuing our hobbies and interests. Happiness also gives us a sense of purpose and meaning, as we are more likely to pursue activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.

Finally, being happy can have a positive impact on society as a whole. Happy people tend to be more productive, creative, and innovative. They are also more likely to contribute to their communities and make a positive impact on the world around them.

In conclusion, happiness is essential to our overall well-being and quality of life. It improves our physical and mental health, helps us to enjoy life more fully, and has a positive impact on society as a whole. By cultivating a spirit of happiness and joy, we can lead more fulfilling lives and make the world a better place.This is what I have learned and loved while doing photography for almost a decade.  Every face is beautiful. I've worked with young children (Babies through the elderly)... Look into the mirror.  See the artwork that God or our creator has created. We are all unique and special. Have all creative qualities and are intelligent beings.

 What do you like most about yourself or your significant others? Is it your/their eyes?  The green, blue or brown color?  Your cheek bones?  The shape of your lips?  The sweet freckles on your face or your children's?  Your kind spirit is what shines and always will and this will show in photography.   Be you. Your true essence. You are beautiful.  Hold onto yourself.  Love yourself, as the universe loves you.  Hugs to all the precious women and men in this world going through any difficult time in life.

As you walk out in the world, know that what you put out there, is what you will receive back tenfold. Positive energy= postiive vibes. Stop and smell the roses around us. Bring out the good in people. This is what I try to capture. The goodness and the love.

Remember tough times don't last, but tough people do.

We will get passed it and onto the next greatest realm.

Whether it is photographing your family, your maternity session, unicorn session or your children's portraits. I want to capture the joy you are experiencing in this very present moment. It is what I love about my job and I try and do it well. Let me create something individualized for you. because you are special and unique!!!

I hope that you are enjoying this 2023 year. I know the last two years was tough for everyone. Make this year, your year of happiness!

Happy Shooting, my Friends!
