Well, hello there, blog world!

As many of you know, I'm the owner of BLP Photography in Virginia Beach. I've had this business since 2010 and this is my first ever blog! (I know, craziness!!) Since it's pouring down raining and I'm all caught up on editing, now would be a good time to catch you up on the last 5 years!

I started photography as a hobby in high school (yes, cliché and annoying as it is, that's how most of us started!). I started out with my little rebel my first year and learned quite a bit about photography, being a "people person," and owning your own business, as opposed to just working under another owner. Talk about a learning curve!

I wish I could say I were tech-savvy and loved working with technology. Truth be told, I want to bash my forehead into my key board 90% of the time!

I think that's why I'll endorse Adobe LightRoom, my little MarkII, my wonderful HP desk top and shooting in RAW ANY DAY of the week! You have no idea how much time I wasted in Photoshop fixing my JPEG images on my horrible little Dell laptop. Highly annoying and took up SO much of my time that I could have spent with my family! "Work smarter, not harder." I learned this the hard way!

 Here are a few of my favorite photos taken over the past few weeks to put a smile on your face! I have a giant cup of pumpkin spice coffee calling my name so I think I'll take my leave :) Have a great weekend, despite the nasty weather, everyone!
