As summer winds down and the sweaters start making their way into the wardrobe rotation (it’s not just me, is it?) it’s a good time to dust off the old blogs and give them a good once-over to see how I can improve and update them. With that in mind, I’ve signed up for a round of Blogging 101 and my first task is to introduce myself to you, my readers.

I first started blogging near the end of 2011 with my Winning Shots blog and it was a mix of photography blog posts with some random posts about parenting, youth sports and more personal entries. I intended it be a place for me to send my sports photography clients but I soon found that I had a lot to say, but not necessarily about youth sports. And so the Front Porches blog was born two years ago this month.

You can read a little more about me on the (appropriately titled) About Me page, but to save you a click I can tell you what you can expect to find on this blog. It’s become a forum for personal observations on parenting, marriage, and relationships. It’s a creative outlet where I can flex my writing muscles. It’s my way of sharing a little bit about my life and what’s on my mind.

I hope you follow me wherever this creative journey ends up taking us. Now that you know a little more about me and this blog, I would love to hear more about you and what brought you here. Thanks for reading.
