{Personal} Stop & Stare




"Some people make such thorough plans for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine."
- William Feather

That would definitely be me.  But with pictures like these, it makes me stop and stare.  I love the wonder that only children seem to hold.  They find the simplest joy... like in a patch of grass.

{Confession} Juggling.

No... I'm not referring to the juggling you do with balls.  I'm talking about time.  How do part-time photographers do it?  How do they schedule sessions and still have a life? 

I like being busy.  I also like having days filled with nothing but a remote in my hand and a dvr list waiting to be watched.  I like hanging out with friends.  I like to do photography.  I'm just having the toughest time doing all of it.

I'm backed up on my editing {like 3 sessions, backed up}.  I contemplated the idea of hiring someone to just edit my photos and then I realized who I was.  I even laughed at myself for having that thought.

I know it's a learning experience and I really need to stick to my guns about keeping my schedule free.  I think that's what it really comes down to.  I know what I can handle and I shouldn't schedule things beyond that, just because I feel bad or I'll be turning away business.  It's not about that.  It's about being excited every time I pick up my camera.  It's about capturing moments.
