So I haven’t blogged in a really long time. To be honest, I haven’t felt like posting much on social media, Facebook, etc. either. Not really sure why exactly. Lately, it seems like I have taken more pictures than ever (both professionally- sessions and personal) but I haven’t shared much. I think I have been afraid of what people think…I think that’s what it comes down to. Like, “why does she take so many dang pictures?” “is she trying to prove something?” “why so many pictures? are you doing this just for a photo?” …people’s thoughts. I’m afraid of ’em more than I should be. (I’m in the process of breaking that bad habit.) In reality…photography is such a creative outlet. I feel like I have to be creating at all times, I just love it. And photography is one of those ways for me to create. If five people….even one person sees a photo I took and enjoys it, that’s enough for me. My goal and aim is not likes, and comments, and followers. That is not my goal. I take the pictures for our family, (or other people- if it’s a session, of course!) to save memories, and for my own enjoyment.

These thoughts have been in my head for a while now… Also thoughts like…do people blog anymore? Why blog when there is instagram? (Even though the algorithm is awful.) Why share on a blog when there’s Facebook? What about the photography business Facebook page? What social media do you choose or do you just get rid of it all? Just some things I have been thinking about. Feel free to share your thoughts if you’re reading this ;)

Anyway, here’s a few sunflower photos we took back in September. Mostly of the girls because I don’t think the boys would be too fond of looking back of themselves frolicking in sunflowers- haha. Much love…
