Random September Ramblings

If you’ve followed my blog for any span of time, you’ve probably realized that I clearly haven’t been doing very well keeping up with it this last month. And I hate that I haven’t been able to. But MAN can I just say, I have mad respect for photographers who run their business full time AND have kids. Natalie isn’t even here yet and I feel like things are spinning slightly out of control!! It’s a little scary, if I’m being totally honest…

I’ve come to realize, though, that this is a stage of life I am going to have to adjust to. Not that I plan on letting my blog slip. I don’t plan on that by any means! But I need to be ok with the fact that family and clients have to come first right now until I figure out how to get back on a schedule. I need to get ready for Natalie, need to support Jake, need to make sure I have time to see my family instead of planning out and writing blog posts. I need to stay on top of editing and emails and customer service for the wonderful people who have invested in my craft rather than make them wait and so I can hit my 3 post a week quota. That’s just how it has to be for now.

Don’t worry, I still fully plan on blogging all of the awesome weddings and shoots I’ve been doing! And who knows, maybe I’ll even have time to throw in a few personal rambling posts as well. They’re just going to be a little more spaced out than usual. But thank you, SO much, to all of you who do follow my blog!! I hope you won’t wander too far in these coming months as I juggle turning into a mom while running a business. I promise I’ll be back to my old blogging self as soon as possible! And duh, of course I’ll be posting pictures of Natalie once she comes, so you might want to stick around long enough for those ;)

In the meantime, here is a little look at some of the things that have been occupying my time this month! Love me some instagram.

Also, Jake and I happened upon Natalie’s nursery theme song a few days ago!! I seriously can’t tell you how many times we’ve watched this video since then. (We’ve definitely contributed to the 22 million hits it had as of this morning.) I can’t get enough. It’s basically genius. And hilarious. I die laughing every time. If you haven’t already seen it (which you very well might have), then you are in for a real treat.

I was going to save this for a Music Monday , but let’s be real, I’ve planned to do a Music Monday post for the last three Mondays and it still hasn’t happened. Oops. So I figured now was as good a time as ever! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend :)
