Why Blog?

This blog has become such a huge part of my life. I’m always thinking of things to blog about during the course of my day and sometimes I will even shoot stuff just for the purpose of blogging!  For all of my NON-photographer friends, I will tell you that this is normal behavior amongst the photographers! So why do we do it? Why do we share our whole lives with the world? To show just how much we love photography… how much it’s a part of our lives… how active we are in the photography world… to connect with people. Besides, who would continually visit a boring outdated blog? People have said that blogs are too personal and that I shouldn’t show off my whole life. To that I say… trust me, there is sooo much more to my life! The world gets to see the glamorous side of my job, the travel, and my daughter growing up but the real personal stuff (the bad and the ugly part) is kept all to myself.

I will share this though… I am a blog surfing junkie! I’m not ashamed to say it!  I have a growing list of photographer blogs that I visit on a regular basis and I spend more time that I am willing to admit doing this (remember, I don’t own a TV!). It’s VERY addictive! I do this to network, learn, and share! Not all photographers keep the recipes to themselves, and to that I say THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME! If it weren’t for the Jasmine Star’s, Stephanie Fay’s and the Jamie Delaine’s of the world, I would never have the encouragement to put myself out there as a photographer.  I wish I could attend the workshops, but there is just never enough time. These ladies are true inspiration to my business.  Cheers Ladies! !
