Yes! We made it! We've been working on getting this session scheduled with a few hiccups on the way....but we are here and I couldn't be happier with the results! Here is a peek into our day at Leo Carrillo....
I met this family at South Carlsbad beach - a beautiful lovely little gem of backgrounds. The kids had so much fun climbing, running, doing cartwheels, stopping occasionally to shoot me a smile while I chatted with their parents easily and effortlessly. Here is just a peek into our day.... more to come in a few days.
These kids.... oh my goodness!! Cute...cute...cute!!
I fell into a slump the past few weeks… overwhelmed with how fast time is flying by and the endless to do lists! Edit wedding photos….edit portrait sessions…. prepare for preschool portraits…. figure out how to set up a studio…. confront my fear of pocket wizards…. holiday portraits…. holiday cards…..Etsy….order pieces….portfolio….. it goes on and on. Some days I just want to cry and some days I just jump in and focus…. but most days, I just want to cry…. mainly attributed to lack of sleep. I’ve started prioritizing…. Focusing on one item at a time (gone are the days of multi-tasking)… I’ve outsourced my printing to Pictage which has been amazing so far. A huge GIGANTIC load has been lifted… (Do you know they offer FREE album design?!!!) I’ve finally learned to batch edit through Lightroom… I’ve fallen in love with RSS feeds and can catch up with all my blogs within Outlook 2010 but the most important of all I’ve carved out days of the week for “sleeping”. Yes… ridiculous as it sounds… Tues/ Thursdays are my days off the computer. I catch up with my DVR and fall into a deep sleep. Last night… I fell asleep at 8pm! I feel it coming back… my adrenaline… my energy… me.
