This is my first blog post…and like so many other things, I have been procrastinating writing this first entry. I’ve recently decided to challenge myself to take a photo a day and post it on this blog along with some explanation of its significance. For years now, I have been jotting down important happenings, thoughts, funny things my daughter says and does on little scraps of paper. Then, if they don’t get lost, I shove them into that gorgeous handmade journal that I never seem to write in except when we’re on vacation. So….maybe I’ll have more luck “journaling” in a virtual space.

The photo a day thing has me really excited. I recently started a photography business, Wonder Blink Photography, with a friend of mine here in NH. We both have been taking photos all of our lives…. as the designated photographer at all gatherings of friends and families. When we had our kids, photography become so much more emotional and important. For me, the changes that occur as my daughter grows are so absolutely amazing and priceless. Taking photographs is a way to capture those moments forever.

Back to the photo a day goal…. I actually started last week, but have of course missed a couple days…argh. I will put the shots up tomorrow….alas I am a procrastinator. Well, at least I have finally entered my first post!

This photo is from a day about 4 years ago.  It’s one of my favorites of my daughter Emma from a trip to St. John for a dear friend’s wedding. She was 3 years old — going on 30.  I love the sun and sand on her skin.  She was having a blast at the beach that day running after seagulls and playing in the water….
