Hello portrait lovers! We’ve been working and working almost 90 hours a week at the tail end of the season. Taking family portraits and a few seniors who got a little bit of a late start. Again, the guilt set in since I am a little far behind getting the weddings edited that I refused to post until I got two of them on their way to retouching. (I was raised Catholic, it’s hard to get that guilt out of your system! )
We got a new retaining wall and flower bed put in, so I am just itching to fill it with all kinds of beautiful goodies next year.
I’ve also been spending lots of time with the kids. Wyatt is learning to read. He amazes me everyday! I hope that reading becomes a love for him like it is for me. It just sort of clicked this year with me that my most important job on the earth is to participate in the growth of these two unique people. To spend the time and teach them life lessons. (I guess I’m starting to feel my own mortality, probably had something to do with the life insurance appointment we had on Monday.)
And we’ve been watching the wild roller coaster ride that is the Dow Jones Industrial Average! I don’t even watch the news anymore. It used to be that journalism was a noble profession. But anymore it is fraught with negativity, hype, and pessimisim and I don’t have space for either in my head right now.
So with that, back to what I know, beautiful portraits and lighting! Bring it on!!
