You may be asking yourself “what the heck is vlogging?” Or you may be thinking “girl, get yo’self some spell check.” Fear not, though- my spell check is working just fine. A vlog is a… video blog! Ashley Goodwin, a photographer I’ve recently started following, just blogged (well, vlogged) about a “30 Day Vlogging Challenge” that she’s participating in, so I thought I’d try my hand at it. This might be a trainwreck, though, so watch at your own risk.

A few things I’d like to preface this vlog with:

a) I’m aware my hair looks really stupid. I’ll try harder next time, as this was done on a complete whim.
2) I apologize for the number of times I say “um”- my public speaking professor would be ashamed. (Sorry, John!)
III) My voice sounds a lot higher on video than it does in my head. Oh well. Also, sorry for talking too fast! I’ll work on that for next time, too!

Whaddya think? A worthwhile experiment? Or should I stick to strictly text-and-photo blog posts?

Happy Tuesday!

An excursion into vlogging!

  2. You are the cutest!!!! You didn’t seem too nervous and I hardly noticed your “Ummm’s” which means they flowed well! Anyways, good job on a first try, you will only get better with more practice!:-)

    Loved your Vlog! I thought you did a great job. You didn’t seem nervous after you began talking. You exhibited a lot of self confidence and if I were looking for a photographer, I’d like your straight forward approach. You definitely know what your customers are looking for and that’s a great set of images. Great presentation!!!
