Last week was so exciting for me because the new blog went live and it exactly what I was after in terms of design, ease of social media sharing and better loading times…after all we hate to wait for anything anymore. Heck I don’t like waiting 2 minutes for the microwave to heat my water for tea. haha. This week Coffee Talk at the LCP blog is finally here.

Coffee Talk makes me think of people waking up with smiles, saying hello at cafe’s, sharing tidbits of life whether it be small talk or bits of very useful information. I think of friends, laughing, sharing, oh and..coffee. Not everyone drinks coffee, some have tea or soda, but most of us enjoy sitting around and talking with others or even sitting at our computers and chatting on Facebook. Either way, we all like finding and sharing information which is exactly why Google was formed. Photography has been a passion of mine since I can remember and I guess that is a really good thing since I do this for a living, but I also enjoy flipping through magazines, searching the web and even spending time on that bloody fabulous website called Pinterest! And yes, the LCP blog now has a ‘pin it’ tab. Wahoo! In that time spent searching it is fun to find tips and advice on health topics, nutrition, fitness, beauty, fashion or just plain funny stuff. It isn’t wasted time because in those searches I find inspiration for many things ranging from my business to family life. Part of the enjoyment is sharing what is found especially if I think it can be of interest to others. Wedding Wednesday was started and has since been on hiatus because I found that I didn’t just want to post tips on all things weddings. I wanted to share other things as well. Over the last year I noticed that I was getting more and more questions from other photographers, clients or a Facebook friend asking things such as how to pose clients, finding the beautiful light to shoot in, what camera is best for someone starting out as well as questions about things that were posted about fashion finds, beauty & health tips, etc. By NO means do I profess to be a health and fitness expert, it is just another interest and passion. Recently a reader saw the posts and slideshows from the Challenge to Conquer Cancer Ride to Austin that we did this October and he asked if I allowed guest posts. My answer was ‘absolutely’! This guest post will have great information about the importance of fitness while going through cancer treatments. Cannot wait to share his information.

If you have something that you would like to see discussed or shared, please leave a comment or even click on the “Ask Me Anything” tab to the left. This is meant to be a fun addition to the images posted from weddings and other shoots and is a way to form a fun community of sharers. (Is that a word?) haha. So let’s start spillin’ the beans one post, or should I say, one cup at a time. Ok, that was cheesy I know.

I need to go back to Italy just to take pictures of their beautiful espresso and cappuccino presentations!

Thank you for stopping by!
