A First

Would you believe I've never shot a maternity session before... Until today! And it turned out so perfect. And what a better couple than my "original" couple. Yep. Analeis and Richard's wedding was my first, which included a first attempt at bridals and engagements as well. And I couldn't ask for better guinea pigs. So I had to make this teaser a good one. Six shots with more to come. Isn't Analeis going to be one hot mamma! Seriously smokin'...

And if you're still thinking about entering the free lovin' contest, there's still time. Entries are due Monday at midnight. The winners will be announced Tuesday.

What if you woke up one day and realized you had two passions in life: your family and your photography. And you weren’t willing to let one or the other go. Well, let me tell you. The time on your phone would brightly glare out, 4:13 am. You’d wonder why you were awake. Oh, that’s right. Your baby still doesn’t sleep through the night.

What if the next time you checked your phone, still awake mind you, it said, 5:17 am. You’d again question your not sleeping awake status. But oh, that’s right. You can’t turn your creative little mind off and it’s always on photography.

You know what your husband is dreaming about.

It’s not photography.

So you slip out of bed to squeeze in a few uninterrupted hours of design time. Then, like clock-work, your family comes alive, oh say around 7:14. (Well Ella wakes up then, Jordan’s a minute behind, because seriously, who sets their alarm for :14 anything?)

By noon you’re beat. Exhausted. This is madness you think. And then you realize it’s nap time. Suddenly, all the world is well. You lay down next to your angelic daughter (all children resemble angels when sleeping) and think how lucky you are to have the best of both worlds, madness included. No studio hours to keep, no baby sitters to pay. Just you. Your family, your business. At home. Loving Life.

It works for me.

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my life.
