For awhile now, Collin and I have been going back and forth about separating our blog into two parts- the studio and the family. When Collin started this blog, I really had no interest in it and rarely even looked at it. I just didn’t “get” the whole blog thing, you know? Well, then my sister-in-law, Rebecca, clued me in to how cool these things really are. She started one for my nephew when he was a small baby, and has a complete record of his life up to this point. It’s something I really wish I had for my kids.
A little over a year ago I took over a most of the blogging. I do all of the family posts, and a good bit of the studio posts as well. And I LOVE it! But there have been some things that I have avoided posting because this is technically a “professional” blog and I didn’t want to offend anyone. And also, I’ve had doubts about putting the kids so “out there”. For that reason, we have decided to form a whole new blog for our family. And we’ve also decided to make it private. Please don’t get me wrong, I WANT you to read about our kids!!! I can’t stress that enough! I think my kids are the coolest people in the world, and I love sharing them with you. Collin comes home at least twice a week telling me of a new client who feels like they already “know” us because they have been following our blog for months. And I’ve met so many people around town who will come up and say “You’re Aron, right? I follow your blog!” I’ve gotten to know people that I otherwise would have never met were it not for this blog.
So please, if you enjoy reading about Mak and CB, email me and I will invite you to view our family blog. My address is aron@sc.rr.com. I don’t care if you’re a friend of a friend, a fellow photographer, or just someone who is curious…I just want to know who you are! Don’t be shy. I’m a fellow blog stalker so I get how fun it can be! Just email or, if it’s easier, leave me a comment with your email address (but remember, this blog will remain public so if you don’t want your email address published don’t leave it in a comment).
And speaking of this blog, there are BIG changes in the works for it, too! Currently, we show less than 10% of our sessions on the blog. Well, that’s about to change. We hope to be posting images FROM EVERY SESSION (if the person is okay with it) in the upcoming weeks. So you will get to see LOTS more of Collin’s work.
That’s it for now. Hopefully this will be a smooth transition!
Well, I’ve noticed over the past several months that almost everyone is going private! I guess we should too! There are so many people I used to check out from your site … the next thing you know … everyone is private and I don’t know their e-mail addresses to say “hi, I’m Aron’s sister-in-law and NOT a weirdo, I just don’t have ANY other mothers I know in St Louis that blog and I love to hear (read) other mother’s rants and raves! Especially since most of your friends have kids my ages. So, to all of you, Aron and Collins friends, I don’t know you, but, I miss you. heehee. Maybe when I’m visiting I’ll be able to met “ya’ll” in person. I understand safety IS an issue. And I can’t wait to see your new family blog!!! Another thing, don’t hold back girlfriend I can’t imagine you offending anyone!
Looking forward to continuing to keep up with both the family and studio blogs!=)
Count us in!!!
