You. Guys.
So, when I posted the Who are you post in early September, I was expecting maybe 20 comments from family, but I’m so blown away! I literally had no idea 90% of you read this thing! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking a second to let me know you’re there. :)
I have to admit, I have serious low blog self-esteem. I’m always hesitant to post personal things (other than Huck)- I feel like I’m not eloquent enough, interesting enough, or funny enough, and I’m constantly fighting the woe-is-me-no-one-reads-this-thing blues. But now I’m feeling excited and rejuvenated and ready to shake things up a bit!
So, now I want to know- Even though I blog every wedding and session we do, what else would you like to see on here? I have a long list of wedding day, engagement session, and general photography tips I want to start sharing weekly, but what am I missing? Want vendor interviews? More inspiration boards? More posts about our daily life? It’s my blog resolution to get a bit more personal on here with the good, the bad, and the not-so-pretty.
So I know it’s vague, but I really want to know- What would you like to see on here?
I love you. You rock. *Virtual fist bump.*
mini photography lesson? Short/Simple tricks for better shots?
Definitely would love to see more of your day to day life. Likes, dislikes, so we know you’re more than super stars. Cause honestly, I’m a teensy Weensy bit intimidated about meeting youse guys! Also, wedding day tips!! Stuff you think we should know in your opinion!
I’m also super nervous about our big day!
I agree. I love “9th With Nathan” and with wish it really was every 9th. :/
I’d love to see little “Photography Tip of the Week” type entries. That would be awesome, to show off tricks with Aperture, or, if it’s not too trade-secrety, walk us through some post-production. How do you go from raw to finished JPG?
I would love more personal posts, and of course photo/session tips. Maybe something like how you got the shot? Like, a shot of where you or Nate were in relation to the subject and then the finished shot? That could be fun! :)
More on your daily life! The only other photography blog I read on a regular basis besides yours is Jasmine Star, and her personal posts are always my favorite! And no need need to have low blog self-esteem! The whole reason I fell in love with you guys (and I think I said this in my first, I’m obsessed with you guys email) is because I love the way you write and feel like I already know you both!
I think tips for people who are getting their pictures taken would be great, along with examples. Plus, I pretty much would just be happy with a new blog entry every day, especially with more night time feedings on the horizon!!
We were just discussing your blog with a friend who is starting out in photography a few days ago and used it as an example of what a photographers blog SHOULD be like! We love that your personality shines through in everything you post, it’s what made us choose you guys for our wedding as we felt we “got” you as people and that you might get us too. Because of that we didn’t just enjoy our photos, we enjoyed having you both around on our big day too.
Remember, not everyone will be interested in everything you have to say, but those who are (and there are plenty of us!) are the ones who will be excited to meet you and you’ll be excited to shoot!
I’m always checking (daily!) and would love to see more ‘stuff’ on your blog! :)
Personal non-work photography!
Pictures of you, pictures of your dog, photography experiments or just pictures you love that you have taken.
go cray!
I like what you already do on the blog (hence why I keep coming back. :) ) I like the mix of your beautiful photography with looks into your daily life. Even when you just do side commentary on an image that you shot, I get to “know you” and I’ve often thought, “aww we could totally be friends” :) So like Louise said above, your personality shines through no matter what you post and that’s what keeps us coming back for more. :D
Would love little photo tips :) And of course I think HUCK may have a little something to say or add :) teehee
More about you guys and your lives! and always more Huck!!!
I love your blog! It’s part of the reason we chose you guys to photograph our wedding, because your blog makes you guys feel so approachable and fun! Some of my favorite posts are when you share personal pictures and/or adventures, so more about you guys – and Huck, of course – would be neat!
Your daily life, please. You guys seem like such a fun couple (& I just know we’d be friends if you lived nearby!)
PS. More Huck is a given. One of those things that don’t even need to be said. :o)
