• a return to my roots: blogging


    The baby factory in these parts is officially out of business! I’m two days out from my complete hysterectomy. Mostly feeling good, mostly bored already and want to be able to do what I could do before instead of having to be a couch potato for the next six weeks.

    2025 has been hard for a variety of reasons. I don’t even know what to say.

    It has been announced on my personal Facebook page, but Caroline Price Photography is shutting down in August after the remainder of my current client galleries expire.

    I have photographed 48 weddings, one quinceañera, and countless portrait sessions. My heart is full. Thank you to each of you who have trusted me with capturing your memories.

    So, what’s next?

    The truth is, I’m not really sure. I intend to write here more often. Content will likely be stream-of-consciousness musings.

    And, I will continue to be into photography as a hobby– I will still take photos of flowers I come across, I will still take my camera everywhere for serendipitous photos. The hydrangeas in the photo above are on one of the bushes next to my house.

    Ultimately, I will be a whole lot more focused on self-care and tending to my family.

    And in the process, I am likely to reflect on the solid life lessons and growth that I’ve found helpful in the last several months.

    Stay tuned!

  • lock swing

    Close to our house there is a lake, and by the lake there is a log cabin. And next to the log cabin there is a swing that people have brought locks to put on. Most of them are couples type locks.

    I’m exploring personal and documentary type photography again, so when my husband and I went to the lock swing last Friday night, I pulled the camera out of my purse and got busy. It was a fun and stress-free way to engage with the photography I love. I’ve missed my documentary style photography.

    Below are a few more shots from that night.

  • these days

    I’m not sure of much anymore. 

    But, I’m sure about my marriage. I am sure I am very proud of the people my children are becoming.

    Those are the two things I am sure of. 

    I’m sure that it’s time to do more looking ahead and less looking behind. 

    I started a photo project a whlie ago: taking photos at the local Marina after I take my children to school. 

    Until Friday, I took these photos on my phone. The photo above is from Friday, May 2, 2025.

    My cameras, however, will be personal use cameras from here on. And, the dynamic range and composition is so much better on my camera than my phone. 

    It’s a season of deep introspection, and setting of boundaries. 

    And, it’s a season of remembering all I have to be grateful for. 

    With help, I rebuilt the feel of this blog. My intention is to write more. 

    I’m not sure what the future holds, and I’m long out of practice writing when it’s not emotional content.

    I’m not sure about my place in the world. 

    I took some public stands on social media a while ago that I’d make again in a heartbeat. Not sorry; it was the right thing to do. 

    And, I’m sure, too, that it’s time to seek out new social circles. 

    I’m also now sure that life is about change, at least in part.
