It’s Thursday! and I have a super excited announcement.

Earlier in the year I started this thing called "Pay What You Want PhotoShoots" and the idea was pretty simple. I wanted to connect with people and also give them something that I created. And my only ask is that you pay whatever you thought it was worth. Zero dollars and you pay with love, or any amount that you felt like it was worth!

And now that I have a little bit of help on the team, we're bringing it back! And this time we're doing a student edition.

There's so many students that want their school pictures but simply just can't afford them. So we're blocking off 10 slots for families (up to three people) for photos. It's gonna be at the bookstore next Saturday.

Alright, let's jump right in...
