Project: Joie de Vivre bio picture

Welcome to Project: Joie de Vivre!

I'm a wedding photographer who is also fired up and passionate about
helping others find their joie de vivre, "the joy of living."

When studying abroad in France in college, I learned a lot about the world and how life should be enjoyed like a fine glass of wine or a delectable piece of chocolate. How can we enjoy life if we are caught up doing what we must instead of finding what we love?

What makes you happy? What
lights a fire inside? This blog is an exploration of all that. As the title suggests, this is an ongoing project. A work in progress. And I hope you may be inspired to find your Joie de Vivre. The joy of living.
