FALL SEASON ON THE WAY!!!!

     The fall season is less than a week away! I am so excited for this summer to be gone for good! This was by far the WORST summer yet with temps in the 3ple digits that wouldn't go away! Wildfires sparking up everywhere in Texas and people loosing their homes and everything. HORRIBLE! Still, this Texas weather is so unpredictable that you never know what will happen this year. I hope we get more rain and cooler temps in the upper 80's the high (fingers crossed). I was lucky to have found a few spots around with green grass and plants blooming and not hay and dead flowers. My poor yard used to be thick with green grass, now it's just hay! My babies are so dark from being outside playing even though I bought the best sunblock. I wanted to keep them in the house ALL DAY but, they have so much energy, they would have wrecked my house! lol..
    We did put one of our boys in football. Always made sure he and his teammates were hydrated.. it could get dangerous. On a different note, I had no idea how time consuming football was going to be! I had to stop all the early saturday morning sessions. I can't do sessions during the week because of practice. It's crazy! Come January I will start doing my mini sessions again. :)
    I am always so busy that I feel bad for my boys and my husband. I used to think that my son Jonavan was my wild child but BOY WAS I WRONG! I have the energizer bunny as a 19 month old son! This boy is all over the place. I find myself running around in my house most of the time and recovering from mini heart attacks from the things he does or the predicaments he gets himself into! Not only is he the energizer bunny in the flesh but he's also a human vacuum. He puts everything in his mouth... when I say everything... I MEAN EVERYTHING! (I'll spare you some gross details)
   My son Jesse is so lay back, so loving and sweet. Poor thing.. He has to deal with his brothers all day long. Maybe this is the reason why he LOVES SCHOOL! lol.. Jonavan, the middle child. My girl crazy 6 year old... I know I will have gray hairs with his name on it in the future. He's also so brutally honest. He's known for saying things like.." eeeeewwww MOM! Why is that lady's crack showing!!!" :\  Or if someone is talking to him too close he'll tell them, "Yuck, your breath stinks!" YUP.. I've wanted to disappear into thin air PLENTY of times. I don't know where he gets this from! Also don't know why every time I say this to my husband, he gives me side eyes.
   Still with these crazy kids that I live my life for.. I have my photography to fill in the little of time I have left to spare. I LOVE IT THOUGH! While working for Sears, I learned so many things. I learned to be patient with people, listen and to communicate. I learned to think on the spot! We would schedule people every 30 minutes and on holiday seasons even every 15 minutes.. It was brutal. I learned to come up with poses out of thin air. It never mattered if it was a newborn or a family of 22, you had to deliver and it didn't matter if you were running around like a chicken without a head! It was too much, this is why I take my time and try to think outside the box when I do my sessions. It's challenging but, I wouldn't want to do anything else in the world. I used to HAVE to enhance photographs in less than 5 minutes, now.. I can get creative and do all kinds of things!
   It does get a little crazy around here sometimes. If it wasn't for my husband, I wouldn't be able to do it. He helps me when he can and even helps me do some chores around here. THANK GOD! He also has to be the one that hears all my complains about this situation or that situation. He's my little peace of sanity, my rock.. I LOVE HIM!
   There's still so much that I want to accomplish and do around here. The main thing is my studio... I love doing outdoor photography though, so I want a space where my customers can come to see all the beautiful products that I offer and to come and view their photos. I've had some offers on locations but, I'm taking my time.. being picky because I don't want to rush into anything. I'll leave it in God's hands.. He'll lead me to the right location. He's seen me through 1 year and 5 months of business that I trust him 100%. They say that God won't bring you situations that you couldn't handle. Since I'm the only one who does all the marketing, contacts customers through emails, calls or messages, makes appointments, gives out information, takes the photos, edits all the photos, shows the photos, places orders, delivers and comes up with new ideas 24/7 and I'm still going.. I BELIEVE THAT SAYING 100%. I need a space desperately, but I don't want to rush into anything.
  I am truly blessed and on this sunday I would love to thank God for putting some A-mazing clients in my path. I believe that every customer that books a session with me is God sent and I can't wait to meet more! Book your sessions in advance please. Follow me on facebook, I'm usually there ALL THE TIME! lol... send me a message or email me if you would like to book a session.
