I have been drooling over some amazing blogs. Then I checked out the price tag just for kicks... and nearly choked. So, I am left to my limited knowledge and budget.
You may remember this photo from a few weeks ago that my son took of me. Thought it was time to take the old camera for a spin. Don't think she works anymore, but she sure is pretty.
This photo was the driving force behind the face lift. I changed my button a while back, but I have a hard time fully committing. Probably why I am not a designer.
I'm actually feeling extremely uninspired at the moment. So, I thought a few changes may do a world of good.
Pics by yours truly are few and far between these days, so let me introduce you to my nephew, Josh Redmon.
He is a talented photographer and is on an expedition to visit and photograph the 120 Mormon temples in North and South America in a year. He has made his way to Palmyra, Manhattan, and Boston and is now en route to Maine.
This is a sampling of his work...
You can read more of his journey and see additional photos at Mountain of the Lord Tour.
If you have a meal or bed to offer, leave him a comment on his blog. He'd love it.
Oh, and before I forget I am guest posting over at Great Fun for Kids on all the things "Nobody Told Me" about motherhood (while Simoney is off on vaca). If you missed this the first time around, stop by and check out rare, old pregnancy pics of me as big as a house.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Link your photo(s) below. And make sure to check out some of these other fab WWs!
I love the new look and that photo of you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new look too. I'm too cheap to pay anybody to make over my blog as well, so I've been doing a little mini makeover myself...but it's still in process!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!

ReplyDeleteWell your new look and work on your blog is INSPIRING me. I have intended and intended and intended to work on my blog but I always put it off. Amazingly talented nephew you have also. I just posted about running free with out a schedule. I'd be more inspired for sure!
ReplyDeleteWow Looks like fantastic eye for photography runs in the family.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing pictures! He's certainly talented. I'm sorry to hear you've been uninspired lately. If you ever need an inspiring subject, you should stop by and meet the animals. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour old and new look are both cool! That camera is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI love the city photo! What a cool composition!
Love the ivy on the wall. Great angle!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Photography really runs in your blood :)
ReplyDeleteThe photos by your featured photographer are simply amazing.. love the picture of you with the old camera.

What a beautiful group of photos! I love your new header too. I'm trying to come up with a different look for my blog too, but I'm feeling a lot like you...uninspired...so you're not alone :)
ReplyDeleteI was admiring your new header before I scrolled down today! I esp like the old girl ;) your nephew has wonderful work, I wish him the best. I could never pay for an update or face lift, at my place either... it is only for play, not pay (that and brain exercise!) what template do you use? I like the all white simplicity. ~Faythe @ GMT~
ReplyDeleteYour nephew's pictures are gorgeous! I especially love the temple shot at the bottom. Which temple is that? I love the picture of you, but it makes me sad for the antique cameras that were almost mine... ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the new look, especially since your little man took the photo of you! I went and read your guest post, beautiful words and I can relate to all of them! And I have to say, through all those photos you look like you're getting younger ;D
ReplyDeleteThe new look is great. Love all the vintage tape and the photo of you is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWell, I LOVE your new blog look. Mine has been in need of one FOREVER... but I too am uninspired and so crazy with two little ones, and a move across country and work, that I haven't been able to be able to do anything to it. So... I really love this :)
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented!! Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the new blog header!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look! Your nephew is a great photographer just like his aunt.
ReplyDeleteI just love the photos. I hope we will see more of his work.
ReplyDeleteHis work is really inspiring...and your blog is gorgeous. Can you tackle mine next?
ReplyDeleteYou DID it... after all that concern and it is gorgeous, just gorgeous! and tell that super talented young man, he has a bed at the Morgan's in Boca Raton but the temple is only breaking ground down here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about changing things up. I recently did it to my blog and loved it. Yours looks great!
Love the new blog look! And the picture of you is really gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's taking great photos. Good job with the header, I love the old camera
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new header picture! Beautiful. Your nephew does amazing work!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new header. It looks so great! I know what you mean about the pricey blog designs. I have given up having someone else to do it. The problem I have is I have no time to work on mine. Horrible I know. Great pics your nephew took! Good luck on your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look. Funny but there has been a major slump among all the bloggers I follow. Wonder if it is the change of season or all of us just a bit burned out?
ReplyDeleteYour talent runs in the family I see.
I think the new header and button are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo talent must run in the family then - your nephew's pictures are great!
Very lovely pictures! Thanks for joining Tinas WW :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the facelift and the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour nephew does great work!!! And please give yourself a break -- you churn out creativity 24/7 - it's okay to recharge. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI love the new look! But then again I always love everything you do :)
ReplyDeleteHelping children see the world through a camera lens is a great gift! My nieces & nephew all share a bit of an eye. So great to see that develop!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photo of you and your camera -I think your new header and button are great. Although, and with not wanting to dismiss your current thoughts or not take in what you're feeling, I happen to think your blog and the design of it has always looked so professional and inspiring - as is your photography. Sorry you're in a slump at the moment. You must be mighty proud of your nephew - some really fantastic shots.
ReplyDeleteI love your new header! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThe photos of your nephew are very beautiful. I´m going to check out his site! If he comes to Germany to photograph the Frankfurt Temple he can stay with us! :) We live only 45 minutes away...
Happy WW!

Redmon's work is quite captivating. I like how he has both details of the natural landscape and the center of the city.
ReplyDeleteHad to believe that someone who inspires so many is feeling uninspired. BUT your mojo WILL come back. In the interm, thanks for sharing these beautiful images. Very inspiring indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhat scope! I feel opened up and uplifted by those photos.
ReplyDeleteThat Times Square shot is utterly fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the Times Square picture!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you as well as the Times Square shot. Amazing!

He takes beautiful photos! I love the one of Time Square. It makes me miss being able to hop in the car and drive to the city. Now it would take me about 20 hours to.
ReplyDeletelove your look... and love your nephews photos!
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY loving the new look Alicia! That picture is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteGreat new look, and your son is a talented photographer...I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, Josh really has an eye.
ReplyDeleteHope inspiration strikes you soon.

ReplyDeleteWow Alicia. That man has some serious talent. I hope his project goes well for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the new look. Kinda stark. Provides a frame for the photos.
Your creativity will come back. I had a slow month in August due to some personal issues but my creativity is back! You've got a beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I especially love the first one.
ReplyDeleteI love the Times Square photo. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo, it is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header:)
ReplyDeleteI love the new design and header - it's a perfect mix of vintage-mod. :)
ReplyDeleteHe has some great nature shots, thanks for sharing them with us.
Your new header looks great, and I'm very impressed with your nephews photography!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way a little. I want to change my design but um, yeah, not in my budget, and truthfully I'm just not feeling that creative right now to mess around with design. Completely uncommitted.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of you! And your nephew's photography is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteChanging the design can definitely lead to some inspiration. Josh's photos are fantastic. I love the NYC shot. It just captures how much is going on in New York.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Especially the one of you.
ReplyDeleteLove that new header! :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, am struggling with inspiration right now. Thanks for sharing your heart and the photography of others.
