Sometimes things just work out. Like having great weather and a fun, photogenic family to work with! Thanks again, Beth and Mike, for letting me photograph you and your adorable boys!
To my sweet little monster, I hope you never lose your passion. Some days with your tantrums and outbursts are a challenge. I often have to remind myself that you are only acting like a 2 year old and thats just how it is. You don't understand what feelings are. You don't know you are mad or sad or even what those words mean. But when you are so happy with excitement or screaming with rage, I hope you know its ok to feel. The people nowadays, myself included, can be ashamed or afraid to show they care. You are reminding me everyday that I should care. Its ok to be heartbroken because something you care about isn't going as you had hoped. Its ok to try, and sometimes fail. Every time I encourage you to get back up and try again, I am also reminding myself. And for that, I thank you, little one. Sincerely, Your sometimes too strict mother
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!
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.
