Welcome to The Caffeinated Photog

When I finally decided to dive in an start my own blog, it was after midnight and I may have still been drinking my second cup of coffee that I thought I could sneak in before my son woke up. After re-heating it more times than I can count, I gave up and was enjoying my cup of happiness cold.

That’s when it hit me. - I can’t be the only one that lives like this, can I? There has to be more people out there that are just your average, ordinary, everyday, wanderlusting, coffee addicted mama-photogs.

So, the idea behind The Caffeinated Photographer began…

I’ve always been a better writer than a speaker, my thoughts just flow easier through pen and paper than they do when I have to have an actual conversation with someone. Or in the case of the ever-evolving case of technology, keys on the keyboard. I can feel the chances of carpal tunnel decreasing, thought I now do not have the abundance of pens stashed away in random places.

Anyways, I wanted a space to feel free about opening up about my thoughts on becoming a mother, balancing my home life with my career, my ever increasing need for adventure, and of course where to find the best coffee this side of the Mississippi. (Please, tell me you did the whole “M-I-SS-I-SS-I-PP-I” thing when I said that.) After many conversations with myself, social media, and my friends and family, I decided to take a chance and start something new. We just relocated to a brand new location and the timing just seemed perfect to start as we adapt to all of these changes.

And thus The Caffeinated Photog was born.

So, follow me in my journey of discovering myself, not only as a mother and a partner, but as a career woman, a travel lover, and in hope that I get over the stunted growth that my addiction has given me and finally reach the height that I lied about on my ID. Join in and be a part of the family as we take it day by day in this crazy, chaotic, beautiful life of ours.

It’s going to be an adventure.
