Today I will be happier than a bird with a french fry. (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) "Today I will be happier than a bird with a French fry.” And that’s pretty happy! Happiness is a conscious choice that positively impacts our lives. Bill:  I took this shot one early summer evening on Ocean City, NJ. Boardwalk.

"As long as you live, keep learning how to live"... Seneca (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) "As long as you live, keep learning how to live." (Seneca) The quote from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca captures the essence of lifelong growth and self-discovery.

If Winter Comes, Can Spring Be Far Behind - Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"   ( Percy Bysshe Shelley) For us, it’s “WHEN" winter comes.

We happily concede that winter here in Atlanta is considered mild, but somehow that doesn’t make it any warmer. As a matter of fact, winter cold still evokes

FOCUS - Sheri & Bill (original photography by Sheri & Bill) “Focus on Goals”...whether it’s New Year’s Day or the middle of summer, it’s always a good time to set goals and make plans, as they stimulate hope for the future.

Just pick something of positive value that bakes your cookies, do a little planning, and then act on it, right where you are. Focus on Goals - Sheri & Bil

Color Me Happy - Original photography by Sheri & Bill “Color me happy” ….” (Sheri & Bill) Photographers and artists know the superpower of color—it’s like emotional Wi-Fi, influencing our thoughts, moods, and even what we order for dessert. Seriously, cherry or blueberry pie? Decisions, decisions! How do you use color in your life? Are you painting your walls in calming blues, or are you one of those bold types rocking bright orange accent walls? Do you drive a sleek red spor

It's always time to connect! Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill)  It’s Always Time To Connect (Sheri & Bill) Human connection, when done properly, is an addictive stimulant and stress reliever. From the moment of birth, we demand the presence of a caregiver—proof that our brains are wired for survival and social connection is primal.

A World Filled With Music (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) A world filled with music… Music is such a big part of our lives, as we have shared entertaining and recording music together for the past twelve years.

Bill: Listening to this waterfall reminded me of the movie “August Rush” w

Simply Fall - A single Camelia blossom at Atlanta Botanical Gardens Gainesville (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Simply Fall…… Like most folks, we have moments each autumn where sheer splendor of the colorful fall leaves tickles our senses. In our case, it causes us to whip out our cameras and take woodsy road trips, which we attempted again last week. Thwarted! A survey of our front yard buried in massive amounts of leaves quic
