Who am I?

I'm a graphic designer who's engaged to a photographer, so you could say that makes me a photographer's assistant, although I consider myself an amateur photographer as well. My fiancé and I have gone on many trips, and taking pictures is always an essential part of any vacation.

I decided to create this site to give people information that I wish I had before embarking on these trips, as well as to learn more myself during my research. I hope to update this site after we take another trip to Washington D.C. later this year.
