Busy season is upon us. What does this mean?

Well, September, October and November tend to be the busiest season for photographers.

My schedule is filled with those precious newborns (as always) plus mini sessions, extra family sessions and then your typical editing and office work (invoicing, contracts, emails, you name it!). The late nights (or in my case) early mornings to take care of all the things!

This season can be overwhelming at times, but what a JOY! I love the craziness as we prepare for the holidays.

In the midst of it all, it is so important to take care of yourself, focus on your family and not overdue it! This year I have been more intentional about my family time on the weekends. Stepping away from my computer during the day and soaking up the Fall fun with our little boys. Playing fireman, going on walks, carving pumpkins and pretend camping!

As we round out October, September and October have been two of my busiest months, and I am still setting goals, planning for 2021 and looking forward to adding some new things to my offerings!

The past few years have been years of learning, growth, adjusting to becoming a mom of 1 and now 2, all while working full-time, being a wife, mom, daughter, and friend. Some days I wonder what I am doing, but it’s those sweet emails, compliments and the joy that an image can bring to my clients that reassure me I am doing what the Lord has called me to do.

Send your photographer friends a little thank you, coffee, sweet note of encouragement or just let them know you appreciate them! A little can go a long way. We all need it during this season!
