Day 1740 – How Do I Post Everyday? – or – How Do I Know What To Blog About?

One of the questions I hear most often about my blog is “How can you blog EVERY SINGLE DAY?”

I’m going to be honest with you, sometimes it really sucks. There are days I have NO idea what to blog about.

But most days, here is my thought process.

1. Is today an anniversary of a previous client? (I keep track of these with Outlook reminders)
2. Do I have a recent session to blog?
3. Did I do something fun with Bret today or in the past few days?
4. Did I learn a lesson today?
5. Is today a significant date?

If I can’t come up with something by going through that list, I look through my previous years/days. Sometimes I try to find something I did on that day a year or more ago. Sometimes this leads to a “wow, look how far I’ve come” or a “wow, I really need to work on that!” Sometimes it’s a fun reminder.

Sometimes I look back over my recent blog posts to see if I can add to something I already posted about.

All in all, it’s a systematic process AND a haphazard process….much like my brain. 😉

What about you? Do you blog daily? What is your process?

Day 1622 – Monterosso Behind The Scenes

Ahhhh, behind the scenes, how I love you.

I’m really bad at hiding how I really feel about things. It’s a good and bad thing…I guess. But always a comical face. 🙂 I’m saying “Babe, I’m trying to get my cameras set up, why do I have to look at the camera??”

At least Bret got a few happy shots.

Day 1555 – Walter Wedding Behind The Scenes

I have to say, I enjoy posting these more than the weddings!

What behind the scenes would be complete without a “Jen working/thinking” face. Less scary than normal!

day_01555a

Yay for a few good ones! The elbow might be the focus, but hey, what can you do?

day_01555c

The church had THE coolest thing I’ve ever seen at a church…..the parting of the red sea!!! The pastor (from another church) liked it too!

day_01555d

I even found Nemo!

day_01555e

What do you do while you wait for the ceremony to start? Candyland of course!

day_01555f

Sometimes accidents happen, don’t worry, your photographers are here to help!

day_01555g

I love this shot Bret got while testing out the light….it looks like I’m a kid trying to play with the bigger kids. “Hey guys, hey hey, can I play too? Pleaseeeeeeeeeee!”

day_01555h

We got an AWESOME dinner! Oh man, SO good.

day_01555i

“But soft, what is my wife doing now?”

day_01555j

“Ah, Jen, quit it, come on, no more testing shots!”

Day 1525 – Behind The Scenes At A Pregnancy Announcement Shoot

I know how much you folks enjoy these behind the scenes posts, so I figured I’d share some more!

If you don’t know my dear hubby personally, he is so much fun! When I ask him to “model” so I can test out the light before we start shooting, he typically does something like the following.
