Though my goal is to increase our family savings but also sock away the money I make to invest back into the business ( my wish list of " essentials" is well over $5000 ) , I am finding that I enjoy having something that is mine. I love photography and I love the gift that it is. And , though I would not ever change a single second, being a stay at home mom has allowed me to become a bit of a hermit except for those whom I consider my closer friends. Those friendships tend to revolve around our kids. So now , I am rekindling and starting friendships that are apart from that and it's been very nice.
It's been that I've had a photo shoot a week and that is pretty manageable . It has, however, been tough on the kids and Mase has said on several occasions " Mommy, don't work." They've only ever known me being home so it is hard for all of us. When I get home from a shoot and have finished editing my photos, Mason says over and over " Mommy is home. " I'm sure that will get easier as time goes on.
On top of sessions , one of my photos was showcased on Etsy's website for the theme " Sun-drenched" and that was pretty exciting. I donated a session to a fundraiser for a couple who is adopting two kids from Ethiopia . My session was the highest grossing item and resulted in a bit of a bidding war.
I'm continually updating my website ( although I haven't added samples from my latest sessions ). I hope you'll swing by and check it out. All is well on the photography front! Here is a sweet tidbit of feed back from one of my clients;
" You have captured true smiles from O, not the fake ones I always seem to get. Just....amazing, my dear! You have a true gift for this Missy, not just a great eye for what to photograph and how to place it, but really for putting the kids at ease, which is really most of the battle. So many small sweet moments you caught, things from our life you picked up on that are wonderful treats to see captured. "
