Hey everyone! I’m Kelsey and this is my most loved little family, Josh, Crew, and Bryn. My two littles are the reason I have grown to love photography so much although, I don’t actually photograph my children with my “real” camera as much as you’d think. The good ole iPhone does the trick for me most days during the hustle and bustle of life. I’m the owner of Kelsey Sutherland Photography in Norwich, Ohio.
Why I decided to Blog
Well, why not? I guess coming from a small town, blogging most definitely isn’t how you put food on the table. But then again, 6 years ago when I decided to delve into the photography world, I didn’t dream that it would help me provide for my family. So risks are worth taking I suppose. I felt like I needed an outlet, or avenue, or change of scenery, whatever you want to call it. I’m a stay-at-home working mom ( <—- has anyone coined that term?) I have felt an overwhelming desire to do something different to (re)set my soul on fire. Day’s spent listening to B-L-I-P-P-I isn’t quite cutting it for me.
Who am I?
That’s a pretty broad question that I will try to answer in as few words as possible. So here’s me in a nutshell:
- Christian
- Wife
- Mom
- Coffee Lover (esp. Chapman’s in New Concord, OH.)
- Photographer
- Blogger
- Evolving home renovator/ DIY’er
Staying at home with littles is hard. Great? yes. Mentally exhausting? 100%. I never pictured myself as a stay-at-home mom. Matter of fact, about once a week I claim I’m going job hunting. But then I re-evaluate why I am doing what I’m doing at this moment in my life. God has planned all of this out from the start so I’m just going to go with it. So yes, I stay at home with my kids, but I also work very unconventional hours. Evenings, late nights, before kids wake up, weekends, in the middle of the day, on vacation. It’s taken me a while to adapt to the “not going into work” type of work. But it’s getting better everyday. Now I can add blogging to my list of to-do’s.
What’s next?
I’m not even sure I can answer that fully. What I do know is that this blog will be real life. My hope is to feature my photography and give you a glimpse of how I feel after a session. I want to share all of my exciting DIY’s, renovations, projects, and epic fails. Overall, I just want to use this blog to do good. Spread kindness, love, and my faith. Talk about motherhood and being a wife. And just give myself a new purpose in this life. Because life is always changing, I am always growing and learning, and there’s no reason not to chase a dream you never even dreamed would exist.
