Hello HAPPS! The New Home Of The Doug & Ally Morning Show!

HELLO HAPPS!!!!! It feels good to be recharged again with this incredible new app called Happs, but first a little context to explain why… Periscope Changed our lives and then……nothing.

The Highlights Of Ian’s Senior Session Tell A Story Indeed!

Telling a good story is important.  It makes life fun and interesting!  You might say we tell stories here through our photos and Ally is quite talented at doing so.  That was certainly the case when Ian visited the studio and we weren’t surprised since we’ve known this kid for many years.  He’s a funny dude and the whole family is great – they are friends of ours and we’ve photographed all of them before at one time or another.  […]

How Important Should Analytics Be To Your LiveStreaming Strategy?

An exchange I had on twitter yesterday got me thinking…   Of course I often go to football for analogies because I have a background there, so as a former player and a football “purist” I may enjoy comparing statistics for fun, but I would never play “fantasy football”.  I never have and never will.  I actually like statistics – I do.  I’ll even use them from time to time in debates about teams and players and who was better.
