I don’t need you…

As I went through the process to add an email subscription link to our blog, I got to thinking about my own blog subscriptions.  And many of them are unnecessary.  I kept tabs on several local and well-known national photogs for awhile, only to, well, keep tabs and make comparisons.  Because really, when it comes down to it, I wasn’t necessarily inspired by my readings.  Tons of talent, yes.  Inspiration to me? No.  That’s because inspiration usually strikes listening to a song, taking a walk, visiting a new place or savoring a particularly tasty treat.  But it rarely comes to me from other contemporary photographers, especially in the same niche.

So, GoogleReader, you are now immensely clean and uncluttered.  If only that were the case for our home.

This is all part of my 2012 process to refine.  Refine my vision.  Refine my priorities.  Refine how to live life and not let life live me.

Part of being a small business owner is the inability to turn the emotional business light off. Gears are perpetually spinning, though I don’t see that as a bad thing.

And it takes lots of persistence and experimenting and ideas and the willingness to ignore fear and potential failure.

I think Adam may have shot this, though I’m not for sure.  There’s something contemplative about it, which is how I’m feeling right now as I write this.

More Spammers Forex-Ninjas and SlowFoodOttawaGatineau

I check analytics periodically like any good webmaster should and have noticed some traffic coming in from a couple of odd sites.  I couldn’t figure out how either one was tied to our site other than a periodic mention of slow food, so I did a bit of research.

Spam visits!  If you have any referrals from these yuckadudes, ignore them.  Or you can create filters.  Check out this helpful link!

Apparently these spam visitors increase their own traffic by getting attentive and curious website owners to visit their sites.  Boo.  What did I do before I figured this out?  I visited their sites.

I will keep calling out these buffoons in hopes that posts will help other business owners.

J Family Favorites | St. Louis Family Photographer

Waking up to snow a couple of days after Christmas was a surprise and we only had a few hours before it disappeared.

And we worked it!

A few favorites from a recent session with the J family.

Jack and Jordan were especially good sports and totally down for the face changing game.

Messy Taos Series | St. Louis Baby Photographer

Our boy is getting so big.  Nearly 16 months old now.  And so independent.  He even recently got his first haircut (photos coming soon) and looks like a completely different little person.  Not baby.  Person.
