Celebrating Cupcakes and Muffins

So there I am just walking along at the Book Expo when I spied with my little eye this delicious Celebrating Cupcakes and Muffins book by Michal Moses. Now, I like cupcakes. The fun thing about being a wedding photographer is that you get to taste a wide variety of cakes and cupcakes at people’s…

I saw a copy of What God Really Thinks About Women: Finding Your Significance Through the Women Jesus Encountered at the Book Expo and was curious to find out what it was about. So I was delighted to have it land in my mailbox where I could read it and peruse at length. I should…
