It seems like forever ago when I shot the first part of this session, and to Sara, it probably was. Apologies.
Every once in a while I get hit with a “you cannot work because you have no childcare” storm. And when I say “storm,” I mean it’s a storm because it’s not just one day, it’s many many many many days piled up on top of each other. My normal work schedule is M-W-F when I shoot and edit, and I edit at night (provided nothing else is going on). T-Th are kids/errands days. S-S are family and/or session days. Let me be perfectly clear when I say that I need 40 hours a week of childcare. Heck, I need 50. But as part of my commitment to my kids, they are in school 24 hours and the rest I have to fudge. So when school is cancelled for holidays, or when we have to go out of town on a Friday, it’s a BIG impact to my life. So last Monday I went into a panic because in a 14 day span there were 2 holidays + 1 day off for travel to family, leaving me 2 days to shoot and ONE DAY to work. So needless to say, I have serious agida and somehow got off track. Rest assured, I am working in the evenings to catch up.
So back to Fulton. This was my favorite kind of session because I got to shoot “sleepy newborn” shots in my studio and then lifestyle images at home. I’ve tried to create a rather comfortable setting in my studio, where moms, dads, grandparents, can somewhat relax and put their feet up, while I worry about shushing their baby to sleep. But no doubt, shooting lifestyle at home is my favorite, and no matter what, that will remain a priority in my sessions. I love having nice rounded out sessions like this because I can capture everything I want and provide a well-rounded gallery that not only captures your baby’s first days, but also those of your family.
Sara, thanks for waiting around… slideshow and gallery will be sent tonight!
