Back from Boise, reporting in.

I had another great weekend of traveling, and I mean that seriously and sarcastically. The wedding was wonderful. The traveling I could do without. But either way, I'm home again! Here's a good long peak at the wedding, the bridal shoot, and a dab of the family mini-session I did.

Jared and Cami said...: Hey Liz, Random question, on your post with Ella's Fairytale book (Love it so much!) there's a picture of her, I'm guessing in your new front room with orange/rust colored walls. We're remodeling our old home right now and your floors are the exact color we want to refinish our hardwood floors. Did you do them yourself? If so, what kind of stain did you use? PS, you don't have to publish this comment since it's a little off the photography subject :) Thanks!; July 19, 2009 at 11:19 PM

ELIZABETH TAYLOR FRANDSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

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.
