Photography

Photos are either captured and taken by Nina Gradwohl, Christopher J. Gradwohl or taken from Microsoft stock photo depository. The photographs by Nina Gradwohl and Christopher J. Gradwohl that are featured in this blog and other media outlets associated with the blog and name ImprovingMindfully.com are unaltered, with no filters. We believe in full transparency when we take photos and for the subject in the photo to appear in a more natural state. This in our opinion delivers a more authentic look and will give you a more realistic expectation. The photos are cropped with basic editing but never enhanced to look better.
