Today is Inspired Photo Blog’s birthday! Three years ago I jumped into blogging with no idea where it would lead or the adventures we would share. It started with The Blank Canvas and continues today as I begin my 4th year of blogging. What better way to celebrate than with a bit of decadence from St. Cupcake?

I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any cupcake at St. Cupcake. My featured choice today was the pistachio buttercream with a gelato base on buttery vanilla cake. Mmm…


My blog would be nothing without it’s readers. To each and every one of you that come here, week after week and share your inspiration with me…Thank You! There have been many times that I’ve wondered why I do this and then I’ll meet someone that shares with me how much they enjoy the blog and I find a new reason to keep writing.
What have I learned from the past 3 years you ask? It takes far more time to write than I ever imagined. I’ve worked hard since I started to become a better writer, but I still labor over every sentence. I’ve also learned that a post without an image (for a photographer’s blog) is pathetically lame. I’ve learned that it’s hard to keep up with the blog— that I created a monster that needs to be fed on a regular basis. I’ve grown to enjoy writing and have become addicted to blogging and hate that I don’t do it more often.
If you have any comments to share, please take a moment to connect with me. Let me know what you like or don’t like about the blog. What direction should I take this year? More photos, less talk? More personal work or more of my assignment and wedding work? More frequent posts? Or just keep doing what I’m doing and let the journey continue?
Thanks for sharing this day of celebration. Happy Birthday blog!
