I wish there were a t-shirt that read "Excuse the mess - She's still under construction". I realize I have been M.I.A., but for good reason. The term "construction" could define a lot that has been going on in my life recently. Physical, mental, spiritually... it all goes hand-in-hand. There has been a slight struggle on how much of it to share. I have a rather large wall up about what gets put out in internetland for all the world to view and take part in. I'm insanely private and I thought, up until recently, that it was the way to go. Sure, I don't mind sharing funny quotes from the kiddos or my newfound love affair with Nutella, but when it gets any more personal, I tend to shy away. That would be great if I worked as a garbageman or a receptionist at the dentist office, but I run a very personal business. I expect you to invite me into your home or to your wedding and all you know about me is that I love the color turquoise. I didn't realize how much of a problem this was (or at least I refused to acknowledge it) until I had a mentor session with some fab photographers from the west side of the state and we really got down to the nitty-gritty about my business and where I want to go with it. The ever so gray area of the personal blog really made me think that I need to be sharing more with my fans (holla!) if I expect them to share the most important days of their lives with me.
So, from this day forward... I, Libby K., do solemnly swear to blog at least 3 times a week (I'm mentally cringing) and talk more about me and what goes on in my life rather than just telling you about random things that I have eaten. *whew* *forehead wipe* That wasn't so bad!
Allow me to begin with posting pictures of myself that were take by Bryan and Mae at my mentor session. Holy cow did I dread being in front of the camera and my dear friends, I completely get why you're so nervous when I stick YOU in front of my lens. Enjoy the pictures, share the love with Bryan and Mae because they're fantastic folks and enjoy getting to know me and why I love photography the way I do.
Keep smiling :)
I had to put the picture of my boots on here because I have a slight love affair with them. It is more for my sister than anything :)
