I think this an official record for me to 1), blog every day for 3 straight days and 2), do three sessions in three days!  =)  I do love my job though, so other than lack of sleep, life is good.  I will admit that balancing life as a full-time mommy and photographer can have its challenges, and I must constantly remind myself of what is most important.  My children.  And as much as I’d love to dive off the starting block full steam ahead and do this full time (passions are hard to bridle), my loyalty is to my sweet little babies who I am blessed to spend every day with.  I admire women who work full time and those who choose other options in their working world (more than you know!), but for our family, my being at home really is best.  With a husband who is gone half the year, stability and consistency are paramount in their little worlds.  Not to mention, I have days when the possibility of a third baby is quite alluring.  And of course, there are those when I wonder if I’ve gone mad?? 

I do look ahead to days when my kids are in school and realize it will come more quickly than I’d like it to, and then will come the time to work full time and pour my heart into this passion of mine.  My husband keeps reminding me that time is fleeting and to keep perspective.  He is so wise.  =)  And so, as I look ahead at my future, I see many more sessions like these:

This sweet lady was the winner of my free bridal session and we had a blast tonight roaming around, looking for spectacular little nooks.  She was so much fun, so easy and absolutely gorgeous!!!!  There was a hollywood vibe about her look that was right up my alley – I am a vintage FANATIC (if you couldn’t tell by much of my processing) and when she wanted a vintage, edgy, adventurous feel to her images, I knew we were a good fit.  =)  I am wading in beautiful images and will be sharing many more in the coming days.  For tonight, I’m off.  Tomorrow will be all about catching up while the kids are napping: placing orders, finishing up a CD, updating my books and the like.  I’m also getting ready for my trip to California to attend Jessica Claire’s workshop in just a few weeks!!  I am sooooo excited, I can hardly believe it’s really going to happen.
