How is it possible that my littlest one is 7 months old already? The time seems to be traveling abnormally fast, even faster than it did with Jillian. Maybe because I know he’s my last baby and I’m trying to soak in every minute as it flys by me.
Something I rarely do is complain about being a photographer. I love my art, my craft and my career so much. But I often struggle with the fact that I don’t take enough time to put my own family in front of my lens. And that most days, when I get home from shooting, I pack up my gear neatly and let it sit until the next client. I tell myself that I can’t wait to do a “little shoot” with Nash & Jillian and then I want to get them all dressed up nice and cute and take them to this magical secret location… or that I have this amazing idea for a theme and I just need to pull all the details together. And as I plan and plan, and shoot and shoot clients … time is whizzing by. So yesterday as the mommy guilt weighed heavy on my mind, and I grabbed my camera and headed up to our bedroom. Luckily, I caught him right after his nap when he is most happy. No theme, fancy outfit, no secret location. Just him and I. A cute onsie, a stuffed toy, natural light and my favorite lens. I shot wide open for most of these, and knew that I would miss a few shots. And as usual, those ended up being my favorites.
