What I've Been Up To

Just a little bit about what I've been up to!

So I usually send my son Bennett to the sitter 2 days a week so I can focus entirely on my business for those 2 days. Sometimes it's shooting or editing a session, making phone calls or sending emails, designing products, meeting with clients for consultations or to place an order with the lab, writing blogs, posting sneak peeks, and then there's the paperwork, taxes, billing, and the list goes on. The point is...there is a lot involved in running a business! And now that I'm 30 weeks into a high risk pregnancy with baby number 2, I'm also having to go to doctors appointments every. single. week.

This week I sent my baby to daycare FOUR days in a row (this is the last day), and I miss him SO much. I can't wait to spend the whole day with him tomorrow! That being said, it's been really nice to have time to get some work accomplished. I want to thank my amazing clients for being patient with me while I've been working on their pictures. 

I love that I have my own business and can (sometimes) work from home while I take care of Bennett. But it's just not realistic all the time.  My photography business is extremely important to me as well and I'm so proud of what I've built so far. I only want to continue improving in all aspects of what I do! It can be a balancing act, going between business owner and mommy, but it's one that is definitely worth it to me!
