After numerous compliments about her photography, Sandra added Photo Flourish as a department of Solid Journey.  Financial profit is NOT the main aim of Solid Journey/Photo Flourish.  The major focus is to care and share.  A portion of Photo Flourish products are given as gifts.  People are joyous when they receive the various photos of scenic splendor with encouraging words included.  We all need encouragement, and so many people are lonely and depressed.  Caring and sharing can bring out the best in us.

What people have expressed about Photo Flourish:

- “Photo Flourish is a blessing and a breath of fresh air.  I love the photos but more importantly, being able to share them with others via cards and mementos.  Thank you, Sandra, for your vision, obedience, persistence and professionalism.  Your Photo Flourish ministry is a means to help us flourish in our various ministries to the glory of God.” - B. Niles - Fort Myers, FL  

- “I’m really enjoying the cards I got through Photo Flourish.  Sandra gives very personal attention in a timely fashion to make sure her customer gets exactly what they want. 

"I have gotten photo calendar magnets and an assortment of blank large cards with some of my photos and many of Sandra’s flowers, sunsets and other photos.  They all come with good color and were even prettier than I expected.  I got them really fast too. 

"My only problem is to decide which I should give for gifts because I want to keep them all.  I have just finished an order for a special wall calendar with scriptures too.

“THANKS, Sandra, for making my Christmas shopping easy this year!” - Marijo - Guffey, CO    

- “In this day and time with all the automation, it’s really nice to receive a card.” - Erin - Saint Augustine, FL

- The photos have “concentrated power” and “focused power.” - Teresa - Wheaton, MD
