How many times have I started a blog? Too many to count.

I love to write. Sometimes about the most random things. I also love pictures. OF EVERYTHING. I went to school for media studies and photography. I always loved the arts. The way you can capture a moment in an image and create a collection of words that can bring someone to tears. My problem, I guess, was that I could never find my niche. I can never decide what I want to do. To say I am indecisive would be an understatement.

Here is the thing. There are so many bloggers. So many photographers. People out there influencing others and hustling to make a name for themselves. That is not my intention. I just want a creative outlet. I am a total nerd and I loved having projects and assignments in school. Something that forced me to tap into my creative side and do something.

Last year, when I was on maternity leave with my son, I decided to get back into photography. I took pictures of my first wedding when I was still a senior in high school. During college I photographed weddings, engagements, children and seniors. Then after college, when I had my daughter, I started to step away from photography and focused on her and my fulltime job. I didn’t feel like I had the time to keep up. Or the confidence.

Fast-forward to now. I have an amazing husband, two kids and an even more demanding full-time job. The difference? I am finally comfortable with myself. I finally have someone that completely supports me in anything that I do. Even though I am busier with work and kids, I am happier than I have ever been. I found my husband and I feel like I found myself. That comfort and security makes me realize that I don’t need to create content others love. I just need to create something that I love. Something for me. So, this is for me to create a space to be creative. Something to talk about my life, what I capture with my camera, and how I survive with my coffee.
