An Ugly Lie

The truth about being a successful photographer by Linda Barry Photography.

It’s been three weeks (tomorrow) since we packed up our life into a 26 ft Penske truck and drove it down to MA. It feels like no time has passed, but at the same time like we’ve been here for(almost)ever. Making this place feel like a home has been an interesting challenge, because we’re not […]
