Getting busy…slowing down.

Monday, July 30th, 2007

I know I’m going into one of the busiest seasons of my life and I’m really excited. Well, If you would’ve asked me last night my answer would have been more along the lines of being overwhelmed but today, I really felt like something has changed in me. It’s been an intense couple of months. My friends Ryan and Brianna Morrison had sextuplets! Six beautiful babies that grabbed a hold of my heart from the moment I laid eyes on them. It’s been so painful to let 5 go. My heart and love for Ryan, Brianna and Sylas grows every day. I desperately want to help them and I wish I could do more.

On top of that, so much has happened in my own family and crisis with some of my closest friends…nothing could have prepared me. AND truthfully, I wasn’t prepared. Photography has boomed on top of everything else and as thankful as I am, it’s been overwhelming…until today. I went out last night with some close girlfriends and they spend the whole evening listening, encouraging me and speaking truth into my life. Today I feel lighter; ready to jump into the exciting season of weddings ahead of me.

I love what I do and I know I’m good at what I do..now I’m excited do it! You get to enjoy the ride and watch every week as more pictures appear capturing families, love affairs, emotions and more! I love blogging for that very reason…immediate gratification!

So, I think the moral of the story is: I’m getting busier but inside, I’m slowing down. Taking long, deep breaths, rolling on the floor laughing with Adriah, going on dates with Matt, spending time with friends and stopping work to take needed breaks…even when I have so much more to do.

Life is good! Sometimes we just need friends to remind us just how good it is. Thanks girls!

This family knows all about miracles. They had twins born at 33 weeks…very tiny and very beautiful. The twins are at home and thriving! It was my pleasure to capture them…and their proud parents!

Taking Pictures…all the time!!!

Friday, July 27th, 2007

I remember a time when I wondered if I could get enough work for me to stay home with my daughter. Not only am I able to stay home, the business is thriving! I have 11 weddings in the next 12 weekends! Aughhh! It’s a little scary but, mostly it’s a dream come true! I will be one busy lady; thankfully I’m busy doing what I love!

I was taking family portraits this morning and the mom gave me the ultimate compliment she said she chose me because she could tell by my pictures that I care about people. Wow! That’s what I want and was so great to hear. I want my clients to have fun and remember the laughs when they see their pictures.

I’m learning every shoot because every client is so unique. Needless to say, shooting newborns is a little different then shooting a wedding or a family reunion! I love the variety this job brings and I love the constant interaction with people.

Please hang with me over the 3 months. I’ll do my best to keep the blogging up (mostly cause it’s a highlight of every day) but, busyness may effect my daily routine!

The Antonovich Family Portraits

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I met this family through the my website. She was following Ryan and Brianna’s story, saw pictures and decided to book me. Taking pictures of 2 year old is a gamble but, we got some good ones. I know their are photographers who don’t even try to photograph kids under the age of 3…I’m glad I’m not one of them.

There’s nothing like being around a couple that loves to joke and laugh! We had a great time shooting these engagement pictures. We went to one of my favorite spots…Centennial Lakes in Edina.
