Kaytlin and Auntie Katie come for a visit.

I am learning more and more that there is a total disconnect with me and social media. It just seems like such a lonely place to me. I am still one of those people who would rather talk on the phone then text or message with someone. With that said – I recently had an old blog post come up from 2 summers ago – https://www.lizlabiancaphotography.com/i-survived-my-summer-vacation/ – I randomly stumbled upon this bog and it immediately sent me to a place of pure happiness. The funny thing about that particular blog post is… Well – that summer was probably one of the hardest summers ever – just from a mom – trying to balance young kids home for the summer – kind of way – yet the images from that blog post – only brought back feelings of total joy. It got me thinking that maybe it is finally time to start blogging more. I take so many photos.. .and really have started to recognize that I don’t feel like they have a place in the social media world. I am pulling further and further away from there… yet still taking as many photos as I did when I started.

I am pretty good at staying true to who I am and where I am in my life and my photography journey – and this feels like the place that I need to be – I actually am not even dreading blogging – which for that past 7 years.. I would just want to post my images as quickly as possible and get the gratification from having them posted.

Here are just a few images from my sisters visit this weekend. It went by too quick but loved watching the kids build their relationship with my sister and my niece. Lots of homemade dinners – games, dancing, wine, laughing, trips to the aquarium and spontaneous hugs.

All images shot with my Sigma 20 mm
