After almost two decades working in the South Riding, VA area in childrens photography, we can tell you that the Internet has been our friend! The amount of information available to hobby, serious, and professional photographers is astounding. As we’ve said in the past, we don’t have a lot of personal time, but we admit to spending time online doing research for our photography or reading about what interests us.

Here are a few photography-related blogs or sites we think you might enjoy! Send us a few of yours. We’re always looking for new and exciting readings!
