The weather has been beautiful lately and I am very thankful to not be bundled up in gloves, coats and hats for my sessions anymore. It definitely can be a little restricting! I wanted to give a little update on some things. Right now I am booked until the end of May. From now until then, I have 8 Weddings, 25 portrait sessions, the 16 Mini Easter Sessions at the beginning of April, the dancing school I photograph every year at the end of April consisting of around 100 girls, oh and a few showers and parties to help plan for my brother and future sis in law! Easter is in there somewhere too, which I hope to take a few days off for. Looking forward to doing the Crescent City Classic the day before Easter as well.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am&#8230;.. sitting at my desk&#8230; so very very thankful. Wondering how I got to this point? Wondering how I can look at my calendar and see nothing but PHOTOGRAPHY on it. I hate turning anyone away and I want each session to be special for each client. It&#8217;s hard having to respond to emails to say I don&#8217;t have anymore spots open until such and such date. I never thought I would be where I am now- I am just being open and honest. I pray every single Sunday about my business, he must be listening. I pray when I can&#8217;t figure things out, when I need some guidance, and when I need help.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been taking it one day at a time, one session at a time because it can easily be overwhelming to look at my calendar and wonder how I&#8217;m going to get through it all. I&#8217;m just human- and there are days when I can get a little stressed. It&#8217;s just the time of year, there are long days ahead and lots of editing to be done. The one thing I have managed to be able to do it stay on top of it all- which is why I feel like I am able to take on what I do. Each clients session is edited in the order it was taken and I try not to take any longer than 7-10 days for each person. &#8220;To Do&#8221; lists are my best friend.<\/p>\n<p>My blabbing is almost done- I just want everyone to know what page I&#8217;m on right now. Why do I write this kind of stuff on my blog? Because a year from now I&#8217;ll get to read this and reminisce about where I was at that very moment in life. I am so grateful for my family, friends, clients and those of you who just stop here daily to see whats new. The support is why I&#8217;m able to do what I love- thank you! I am so excited to start back up at Bootcamp tomorrow! This is my favorite time of year when we have longer days of sunshine! :)<\/p>\n<p>Aright- I&#8217;m heading outside to get some fresh air take the dogs for a walk!! I have 3 Engagement sessions and a Maternity session to blog about this week!
