Annapolis, Maryland | November 9, 2020
November 9, 2020 I visited Maryland. I haven’t blogged about it for so long because, well, things just get in the way. But here we are—better late than never. I was actually in Annapolis, MD, to visit my sister who lives there. She wanted some holiday pictures to use for cards at the time, and I was happy to take a “work trip” and oblige.
I'm Pregnant!!
So, in case you missed it, I’m pregnant!! My husband and I announced to the world this past Monday that we are expecting a little one this coming September. We’ve known since the beginning on January, but have been keeping my little bump a secret until now. It’s so refreshing to finally be able to tell all of you and feel your love and support. We’ve been creating videos as a form of memory keeping, and have been recording everything along the way.
My trip to DC during the 2020 election
I visited one of my sisters, Sara, in Maryland between November 6th-10th. She had moved there earlier in the fall and wanted some visitors, so of course I took her up on that offer. She also wanted pictures for Holiday cards, and as I’m always the go-to family photographer, I was thankful I could say it was a “work trip.” During that time we did many things including doing a day tour of the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, DC.
HELLO AGAIN
Hello again! It’s been forever. Honestly, it’s because I’ve been focusing soooo much lately on my business, LVP Studios. If you haven’t been keeping an eye on that, then you definitely should!! We’ve been posting regularly to our website, Facebook, and Instagram. But everything ties together... it’s all about memory keeping— this blog, my business, youtube, everything. All the other things though had to take a back seat to getting my photography/videography business going... you have to make money in life, am I right? Haha. But I miss telling you all about the behind the scenes, filling you in on my life, and teaching you about memory keeping and how you can do it too.
My 2019 rewind -- a look into my camera roll
This is my 2019 recap through my camera roll. I was trying to do this on a monthly basis for awhile, so I’m really excited to see everything from 2019 in one glance. I take TONS of pictures, and this should be fun. Can you guess home many pictures I took in 2019?? My iPhone camera roll is telling me 4,180… but I know it’s more than that if you count all of the weddings, family session, and business type work I did. Whew, it’s been a year!
Documenting during the holidays
Any fellow memory keeping addicts out there know that the holidays are an excellent time to be scrapbooking, journaling, and taking tons of pictures and video! I find that documenting the holidays can be one of the easiest times, and often times it’s very expected. If you’re new to the memory keeping world, now is a great time to start because for some strange reason people are more okay with you take 100000s of pictures during the holidays than they are any other time.
How can Memory Keeping become a business?
Did you see that post title? I bet you're super curious about how you can turn your passion for capturing memories into a business. How can memory keeping become a business? There are multiple ways: you can start an online store, share your endeavors on YouTube, or even start a business that helps others memory keep too (and so much more). But that's where my focus is--helping others memory keep. I love helping others achieve their memory keeping goals, understand that this doesn't have to be something hard, and that their stories are meant to be captured, documented, and saved.
July Recap
Why do I feel like every time I get on here to review one of my months I always feel so overwhelmed about how the month went. The last recap I did I felt so busy, so full of different events and activities, and mostly I just felt like I had so much change going on in my life. But then this past month happens, and I feel like everything is just 10x more overwhelming and busy and full of change. Is this just adult life now?
May & June Recap
You know how sometimes life just keeps going, and there’s so much on your to-do list that you want to do but don’t make time to do? Then often times we all just say, “well, oh well, guess that’s not happening!” We’ll I’m here to combat that—to do the things I want to do even if they’re a month or so late, but who cares!!! I set out to make these recap posts, and gosh darn it here we are doing just that (even if it’s a combination of two months haha).
April Recap
April was a month of few accomplishments, but it was a month with much going on. Looking back through my calendar, scrolling through my camera roll, and glancing back at my vlogs on our YouTube channel, I am able to see that I really got a lot done during this past month which makes me happy and content. I have things I want to strive towards this May, and I look back and appreciate April for how it’s pushed me forward.
