wrapping it up for 2010

This is the post where I announce that as hard as it is to say “NO”…my calendar is beyond full and I won’t be taking anymore sessions in 2010!

Our lives are about to change in a BIG WAY in ONE MONTH and it is time to shift my priorities to a new place.  I truly do love that I have the opportunity to do this photography thing while I stay home with my little people.  And through this business I have raised the necessary funds to bring Daniel home (at least what we have owed so far…haven’t tackled the moolah for the 2nd trip yet!)  So I am SO VERY thankful to ALL of my clients.  But my phone keeps ringing.  And as much as I would like to say “YES”…I promised my family that I would stop working Nov. 1st and just be mom.  I will be wrapping up all of my fall sessions ordering, delivering, and proofing before we leave on our trip to Africa and just don’t have the time to accomodate more sessions.  If you were hoping for a fall session date I have several local photographers I would be HAPPY to recommend!

I will be making a couple of teeny tiny exceptions for a few “Grow with Me”  and Newborn session families.  So if you have contacted me about your package….don’t panic!

There are a MILLION things going through my head right now.  In ONE MONTH I am going to meet my son.  On the other side of the world.  Brown and beautiful and a complete stranger to me.  I’m going to be a mommy again…and I don’t have a thing ready.  And all I can think about is getting him IN MY ARMS so I can smell his soft hair and look at his BIG BROWN EYES.

THIRTY DAYS PEOPLE.  3-0.  And we’ll be on a plane changing our lives forever!

And because I just can’t post without a quick picture….how about this little peanut.  Oh my word was she a hoot.  I have a BUNCH to share from their session…but this one…too funny!  I asked her to stand up between Mom and Dad and give me her best smile…and this is what I got ;)

Lots I still need to share when I can find the time to organize my thoughts and my proofing folders :)   Hoping to be back soon!

    So excited for you! Praising God for your family growing by one – one that was hand picked especially just for your family! I can’t wait to see photos of Daniel here :-) Enjoy the month to prepare for him and if there is anything I can do to help you get ready don’t hesitate to ask. I have gone through this part 7 times. I understand :-)

    Blessings and love!
    Jill
