{My Favorite GIF Animations!}
There is something so fun and whimsical about GIF Animations (Graphics Interchange Format file: a graphic image on a Web page that moves). It’s nice to not take yourself too seriously! Don’t get me wrong, I take my job very seriously. After all, I only have ONE day to capture all the moments, the memories, […]

They say, “when you know, you know.” From day one these two “knew.” They had met their match (thanks to match.com!), and their lives were forever changed.
