Hi! Thank you for stumbling onto my photography blog! I am, as you may have guessed, a photographer in Longmont, Colorado. Since this is my very first of what I hope to be many posts, I thought I\u2019d introduce myself a bit.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a 33-year-old, married mom of a beautiful little boy (with a baby girl due this fall!), who isn\u2019t from Longmont. I\u2019m not really from anywhere, to be honest. I moved a lot as a child and when I have to fill out one of those residential history things for background searches, I have to include 27 addresses. Or is it 28 now? Anyway, not the point. Moving around gave me a real appreciation for meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I\u2019ve loved what I\u2019ve been able to see and do over the course of my life so far.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I\u2019ve taken pictures of everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Laguna Amarga, Patagonia, Chile. View of Torres Del Paine in the background!)<\/em> It was this need to document where I\u2019ve been that led me toward photography in the first place. Travel photography would be the ultimate dream job, but having a young family does tend to make that a little difficult. I know I\u2019ll shared the joy of traveling with them when they\u2019re older but, for now, I\u2019ve meticulously organized my experiences into photo albums and adore the memories they rekindle every time I open one up. It\u2019s actually kind of scary just how organized it all is, though. Now, I spend most of my time documenting my son\u2019s life. Cheesy, right? I\u2019m just like any other millennial mom in that way. Except, I try my best to remember to use my camera instead of my phone when I\u2019m taking his photograph. When the pandemic hit, this became my way to share how much he was growing with friends and family. Monthly milestone pictures, walking around Longmont (we moved here last June, when everything was still very uncertain), and just playing in the yard all became opportunities to get out my camera and photograph the moment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Last fall, I decided to be brave and put myself and my photography out there. I set up a few social media accounts, started following local photographers, and began practicing on friends and family as restrictions eased (and outside locations were available!). I seemed to have stumbled on something that worked for me and my growing family. A lifelong artist and writer, photographer fit right alongside my existing passions and creative outlets. Suddenly, this wasn\u2019t just something I did to keep my memories in meticulous order\u2014this was my art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m still learning. That\u2019s why I started this blog. I have so much to learn and do in order to grow as (hopefully) Longmont\u2019s best family and newborn photographer. Thanks for coming along with me as I figure this out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi! Thank you for stumbling onto my photography blog!
