Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

-

Today was the first day back to work since having my second child, Jack. It was bittersweet, as these things are.

I couldn’t help but feel like a failure. I didn’t get all the things done that I had intended. There were closets still full of clutter, unorganized kitchen cabinets, and of course I didn’t schedule nearly as many sessions as I had hoped.



But what I did accomplish were countless morning cuddles with my sunshine boy. Building towers as tall as I could reach with my big girl. Watching time fly by, wishing I could reach my arm out and press pause just to catch my breath.

Sometimes I look at everything other people have and cant figure out how they got it all. Then I realize there are things I have, that those other people do not. And neither of us wishing we had the others’ life are getting anywhere daydreaming. 

Success is for the doers.


Carpe Diem, my friends.

Meet the Lefeld Family

One of the best compliments out there is a repeat client. I've had the joy of photographing Heather, Chad, and (not so little anymore) Jacob. Normally toddlers have a tendency to dislike the family picture process, but Jacob was nothing but smiles. He didn't even throw one tantrum! I hope to have the pleasure of working with the Lefelds for many years to come!

Sometimes life just gets too busy! Between parenting, working, dance class and it seems like nowadays everyone has a "side hustle", there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day to savor the little moments. And, boy, do they go fast! We had Jack's baptism this past weekend and capturing moments with some of his great-grandparents make this whole hobby worth while. They may not be perfect, but they are perfect to me! And, of course, Jack had to poop through his cute baptism outfit right before we did pictures! I wouldn't expect anything else out of this crazy kids.

I had the pleasure of photographing my first wedding, and I am so pleased with how it turned out! And working with friends always makes everything go a little smoother. Seriously, look how photogenic they are! I had a hard time picking favorites for the blog. But, I guess thats a good problem to have. Poor Ashely broke her foot just weeks before the wedding, but she was ready for anything and nothing could stop her from enjoying her day. Wishing you two many years of happiness and love. Can't wait to see where life takes you!
