Thanks Bobby~ I love these Canadians!

Hey, what do you think of the title? I couldn't think of anything so I thought I'd explain what occurred at my 'portrait session,' lol!

Ha David, excellent thought, but no lol...
Hopefully a good story-teller though! I just completed Rob Sheppard's 'Successful Publication Photography' course here, and hopefully I can start putting together some words with my images for magazines.
Thanks so much for your neat comments!!

It's only fitting they charge a "sitting fee" & I think bread is a universal charge. Very well timed=^..^= #8984257

Ha! Fun response my friend~ THANK YOU!
