Lessons Learned

Hello friends!!  WOW, what a summer!!  After living out of a suitcase for close to 6 months, we finally moved into a beautiful home.  I feel all settled in and excited to concentrate on my 'fotographie.'!!  I'm loving all the Nebraska has to offer, especially the different seasons!!   Fall is my favorite season- apple picking, leaves turnings, pumpkin pie, cooler weather, candles, and fall festivals. 

Most of you already know that I'm pregnant, due in the beginning of January!  My husband and I are really excited!!  As my belly grows, so do the limitations my body can handle, especially when it comes to working with kids or getting that certain angle for a foto.  Here are a few lessons I've learned and I thought I'd share because I found them pretty funny!

1. Stretch before a foto shoot: I've pull a hamstring. Lame, I know.
2.  No matter how hard you try, you can't lay on your belly: I look like a beach whale trying to maneuver into the perfect angle.
3.  Sneakers are my shoes of choice: they come in handy when you've got to chase after 2 year olds trying to capture that 'perfect smile.'
4. Always pee before a foto shoot: I hate port-a-jons. enough sad.
5. Load up on bubbles, balloons, cars, fruit snacks, suckers: toddlers love anything that moves, is sparkely, or that can be put in their mouths!  I look like a clown with all of this in tow...and I'll do anything for a smile :)
6. Write things down: my memory is bad enough, now add on to it preggo memory....it's downhill for me!
7. Be able to laugh at yourself!!!!!!!  There are times when I need clients to help me get up off the floor-not joking!  Besides, it lightens the mood if you can crack a few jokes :)

Here are a few fotos from the past few months. 






I'm feeling so blessed right now!  God is doing great things in my life and I'm excited to see what the future has in store for me!!
