Welcome to my Photo Blog

Caryn Esplin Photodesign
Photography and graphic design are some of my favorite distractions in life, so teaching something I love, couldn't be any better. I enjoy curriculum design on the college level, and I love the amazing students I work with. When I don't have a camera or computer mouse in my hands, I am cooking up a new recipe or traveling with my family, who are the coolest people on the planet. After all is said and done, I really love my life, and it is my peeps that make it so great.
