Tim and cara's winter wedding at the ballroom at the ben

Time to open the Archives Files

It’s no secret… This past year I was horrible with blogging. And why was that? That’s a good question! I often find myself asking that same question. It wasn’t until a attended a workshop that I realized I had no good excuse. So this weekend I sat down and tried to figure out what was different from last year and the year before. Here are some of the answers I came up with:

I’m not a writer. Although I enjoy reading a great book, my writing skills does not match the talented authors I admire. Don’t get me wrong, I can put sentences together. But my need to write better content overwhelms me at times,  I either spend too much time writing a single post or erase it all together because of my lack of confidence. So in the end, I don’t share anything.

Writing about others can be difficult! If there is one thing I dislike it’s sounding robotic in my posts. Although ‘a picture is worth a thousand words‘, including an excerpt about my couples is important. Sure you can look at an image and see how happy and in love a couple is, but let’s talk about the story before the image, or the fight they fought to be together. I’m not a romantic sap for no reason, people! :)

My last reason is, time. Because I take so much time writing one post, I felt it was much more important to invest my time someplace else; such as getting images to my clients, answering e-mail, etc.

In the end, when I look at my reasons… they are excuses. All of the things I mentioned is something I can change. With a little more faith in my abilities and some self discipline, I can add blogging into my workflow.

I hope you are ready! This month I plan on blogging EVERY DAY until I catch up to current events.

Thank you for visiting!

I am so glad you came across my journal! I believe in creating images that will always fill your heart with joy. Every flower, every detail, and every person deserves to be photographed with just as much intention as it was crafted to be.
