When I see my friends and acquaintances succeeding in their careers (without kids), I get rather jealous. Here I am trying out this photographer gig and it's beyond overwhelming. Don't get me wrong, I love it, everything about it. But who has the time to edit pictures when they have a crazy 3 year old and a 7 1/2 month old?
Sometimes I catch myself fantasizing of a life where I actually realized my passion before kids. I mean when I really think about it, anyone who knows me knows that in high school, and college, I didn't go ANYWHERE without a disposable camera. Ya, you heard that right, disposable! ha.
I mean if I really think about it, it was obvious that photography would find a way into my life since it has always been at my finger tips, literally.
Anyways, my life consists of taking care of my children (and husband) or my third child I call him. And all the craziness our life consists of, and then I decided to find this amazing passion, one that actually needs time as well.
I love it so much but it sure has gotten crazy. I went from doing maybe four sessions a month to getting four emails a day about booking a session. But I really love it. I don't charge much, give way too many pictures, and never get enough sleep, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I know that with every picture I am creating memories that will never be forgotten.
I call myself a "stay at home mom" but really I am a working mom. A mom that doesn't have enough hours in the day. One with more than enough thoughts, but barely enough time to write a blog : )
