So my latest decision had to do with Wonderland Photography. What should I do? Should I keep taking sessions through the fall, even though I'll have a one year old plus 2 kids in school AND will be going to school myself? Or should I take a break?
I decided to take a break. Owning a business, running the business, and worrying about money involved with that business can be overwhelming. I love taking photos. Love it. I've worked really hard to learn everything I can about photography and editing and how to turn photos into something that people love. I still have a long way to go, but I'm proud of where I am now. But it takes up so much time. I am finding myself saying to the kids, "Come downstairs and watch Noggin while I work on photos," while Alice naps and then stealing away time in the evenings to finish up orders while the kids take baths.
I don't want to do that anymore. I want to play with them and bathe them and read stories to them and not be completely exhausted at the end of the day because I've either had sessions or been editing sessions. Don't get me wrong - - I spend tons of time with them all day long. We hang out together and play and all that jazz. But it'd be nice to not have editing or sessions always on my mind. I want weekends to be full of fun with the kids and Danny, not busy with sessions and editing.
I want to take and edit these kinds of photos:
My baby boy eating bunny snacks.
Baby Alice eating (who knows what) and smiling like a fool. A very sweet fool.
And Maria running crazy through the sprinkler ball.
It's stuff like this I don't want to miss. And I don't want to be so stressed out from work and school that I'm a cranky mom. Because who wants a cranky mom?? Not my kids, that's for sure.
So my decision wasn't as hard to make as I thought it would be.
