Blog fashion

I've been thinking a lot about a recent post by Uniform Studio Journal. The blogger suggests that perhaps blogs are a thing of the past. An outdated fad. I've actually been feeling the slow down in popularity over the last year. With fewer and fewer comments, I've thought that perhaps the peak of blogging was sometime last year. In a sense, it makes me sad. You know, a trivial kind of sad. "Mall" tears not "orphaned children" tears. But in thinking this all through, I've come to a conclusion: I don't care a whole lot how popular or unpopular this here blog is or the whole sport of blogging, for that matter. I LOVE to blog. It's a fantastic creative outlet, and, in a sneaky and fun fashion, I am brushing up my writing and photography skills. I have a virtual online portfolio that I've been building for the last four years. I've changed jobs, had my first child, moved across the country....and it's all documented in one place. I've enjoyed building it along the way so it hasn't seemed like work. I like that. Feels like I'm beating the system.

I have to come clean on one thing, though. If you tell your friends and your friends' friends about my blog, I'll love you for it.

(Ok, so maybe I care a little bit).

The photos are from a recent session with some dear friends and their new baby. I first photographed mother and child here. Who wouldn't love photography when working with this beautiful family?
