Welcome to the once a month blogger! The purpose of this blog is really to share ideas/thoughts/projects and maybe even a story or two!

I became a stay at home mom after having my second child. As a new stay at home mom I wanted a way to document the things I'm working on as well as share with anyone who might care to listen. I have gotten so many great ideas from others that I want to pay it forward in any way I can.

As for the name, "The Once a Month Blogger," Well, I have to be honest, that is extremely ambitious for me! I've had a personal blog site for about 6-7 years and have probably written on it less than a dozen times. My posts aren't likely to be long. I like to try to keep things as brief as possible!

As a warning, if you're looking for comic relief or inspiring literary genius...you won't find it here. But

I promise I will do my best to post once a month or more, even if only to briefly update you on a current project. Hopefully you can find something you'll like!

Cake Smash Video

So this is my favorite video so far.  My friend hired me to photograph her daughter's cake smash and I thought it would be a great time to practice videography for the wedding I had the next week.  I'm so glad I did.  I thought it turned out pretty cute and my friend LOVES it.  She told me she watched it 20 times the first day.  (That's the best compliment I could have gotten!!)  I basically used my 50mm for the whole thing.  I didn't use a tripod, I just stabilized A LOT in Premiere Pro.  (I highly, HIGHLY recommend Premiere Pro.)  Anyway, here it is!
