Long time, no blogs!

It’s been a long while since there’s been any blog action here. Partly because it hasn’t been a priority and there have been a million other things to be done, and partly because I’ve been wanting to re-do my website since before my youngest was born. There was always something that I needed to do whether it was editing a family session, laundry, cooking, volunteering at kids’ schools or actually spending time with my husband. Even if that meant sitting and watching our favorite shows together. I finally got honest with myself and admitted that if I was going to re-do it on my own, it would take a lot of extra late nights and it would keep getting put off. So when I had the chance to work with Kate Densmore on a rebrand and website overhaul, I jumped at the chance.

Kate is widely known for her documentary family photography and she has been an instructor and mentor to hundreds of photographers.I took an online workshop with her in 2016, and then an in-person workshop at the beginning of this year, so I knew I would work well with her. I have also been participating in a collaborative photo blog called The Art of an Ordinary Day. When she spread the word that she was now doing design work, I got really excited!

I’m so thrilled with the outcome of working with Kate. She has been a source of guidance, inspiration, and support in getting work done, and I couldn’t have done this better myself. From a perfectionist, that’s saying a lot! I am planning on this to be a place for me to share photos of the families I have the privilege to work with, and to also share some of the people nearest and dearest to me, my family.

Photography has been a journey for me and I know there is so much more to explore. I hope you come along for the ride! Here are the images I’ve contributed to the collaborative blog so far! And a bonus one that I missed getting in for June’s edition. Oops.
