ONE!

I have to admit, sometimes I get frustrated working two jobs. Being a teacher can be a 24/7 job, so adding children and a second job to the mix sometimes makes me a little, crazy! I stress out about about all the school things I could be doing (like report cards) while taking photos and think about editing photos while I am at school.

What I loved about this session was that when Samantha came with her mama for her one year cake smash session I found out her mom was a teacher too. It was so nice to have someone understand the demands on my full time job while trying to squeeze in time for my photography jobs. I had been feeling rather crummy the morning of this session because I have been dealing with a high number of last minute cancellations (which can turn my whole life upside down after I plan out the days in a given month I choose to shoot), but Michelle made it all feel a bit better. She made sure to let me know that she was in no rush for her photos to be completed (some people seem to think it takes me no time to edit photos) and that she was just grateful for the experience. She even went so far as to tell me not to bother with her photos until I had finished all my report cards. I think Michelle might just be my new best friend (LOL).

So, thank you Michelle for MY experience! You were a wonderful client to deal with!

Now for the fun stuff...birthday slideshow of sweet Samantha!
