I LOVE PEOPLE!!! HAPPY PEOPLE :)

I love making people happy and I love happy people!

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.

Addison Street- Philadelphia/Fall Family and Christmas Sessions are almost gone!

A magical session on Addison Street is the best place to capture some lovely Christmas Photographs. Each tree is lined with twinkling lights in Rittenhouse square. It is a beautiful place to shoot at and safe for children. I love walking around with the families I photograph and finding new nooks and crannies to explore! As a Greater Philadelphia Area photographer, we have so many beautiful locations at every corner. I love it here!
