A Fresh Start

Ahh. It is here. :) My new, beautiful, better organized, larger and more fun BLOG. It feels like it’s been such a looong time coming, though in reality, my old blog was rather young. Even so, it was about time for an upgrade! And I’m beyond thrilled with the results! *NOTE* This blog is not completely done. You could run into a couple of pages that aren’t quite done yet. But I’ve decided to simply consider it a fabulous work in progress. And really, I just couldn’t stand not sharing it with ya’ll! Finally!!

If you take a peek around, you might notice that all of my old blog posts are here. This was NOT easily decided, I tell you.. My reasons for not wanting to do this included: my embarrassment at some of my images early on – though they satisfied my clients, I am definitely my own worst critic (or, let’s hope!); my realization that I am watermark-happy and can’t seem to find one I can love and stick with; the flippant way in which I have ordered my images; and the huge number of photos per shoot that I used to upload (readers don’t want to sift through 50 decent shots, they want fewer, really great ones!).

And yet, the reasons for doing so completely outweigh the cons. First and foremost, I have learned SO much from looking through my old stuff and reading how I used to write posts. I like to think that I’ve come a long way since my first blog’s humble debut. I’ve definitely grown in the manner in which I edit. I’ve learned to make a lot more time for blogging. And I’ve learned to use my blog not only as a way of sharing my work, but as a way of sharing who I am with my clients. It’s my hope that other people will be able to see this growth, and thus, I have not changed a thing about my previous posts. (Although I winced about every 60 seconds while reading them!)

Anywho! This is my blog! I look forward to do so much more with it than ever before! And because every post is better with pictures, check out the pic of this sweet little guy, from a recent family shoot I’ll add in the coming week!
