Blog evolution
As my 2 year blogoversary approaches in January, I am enjoying a look back at all of the fun I have had in the past 2 years. The blog started as a fun way to talk about my wedding plans and DIY projects. Everything was pretty random after the wedding until little Mia came into our lives. I felt like she was all I wrote about. Recently, I started running (in case you didn't know) and my blog evolved into a running blog. Mike started photography and I am sure that my blog readers are getting sick of hearing about that too! Well...I don't care!
A couple of weeks ago, we/he shot 3 sessions in 2 days. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend. First, our friends Nick and Mimi and their baby, Collin.
Next, we met Maggie, Dave, and their pup, Charlie...
The next morning, Mike met our friends Josh and Stacy (and their baby on the way) at Josh's fire station.
I'm pretty impressed (but obviously biased). Thanks everyone who is following his blog and commenting on his posts. I know all of you bloggers love comments and they mean a lot to him too. Thanks for supporting him! I know he really appreciates the feedback, advice, and compliments.
I am looking forward to posting my own pictures soon. Mike will be photographing Stephanie's wedding in August and guess who the second shooter is?!?! ME! I have been tagging along with him and I really can't wait to learn more about photography.
I will continue talking about my running journey. I just committed to my first 10K run. I will be running the GO! St. Louis marathon relay with some of my girlfriends. I am a little nervous to train through the winter but I look forward to being about to run for 6 miles!
Just wanted to give a shout out to all of my readers for hanging in there with me and my ever evolving blog. To those of you that thought this post was going to announce something exciting, I'm sorry. You are going to have to wait a little bit longer for my blog to take that turn!
I love Mike's photographs! So when you second shoot, are you guys going to get another fancy camera?
Good luck with the 10K, Lauren, I know you're going to rock it!
great work, Mike. And yay for evolutions....so fun!
So awesome! I love reading about Mike's pics and your progress on running.
When I look at Mike's pictures, I truly cannot believe that he hasn't been doing this, professionally, for years and years. His talent is insane, and you are lucky to have him as a teacher! Have fun being second shooter, can't wait to hear all about it and see pics!
I already commented on Mike's blog, but those maternity pics are incredible.
And go you!! I'm so excited that you are continuing with the running. Isn't it amazing that 10K is a feasible goal for you after not being able to run at all just a short time ago? What a great accomplishment, Lauren!
i agree with kristal, those maternity pics are awesome, kinda makes me regret not doing them but then again, she looks great :)
but really, he is good!!! (such a cute baby too!)
our lives change, so do our blogs! I started talking about weddings, and otehr crap and now all i talk about is babies and crap :)
Ditto what Sarah said about Mike's crazy natural talent. So cool!
Happy Anniversary! Always have loved reading your blog, always will. Love you, lady!
It is very cool to read about all your (and Mike's) new interests and hobbies. Life takes us in so many directions...
I enjoy reading your blog, and an envious about your new running adventures....I am very inspired to do the couch potato thing too!
