A few days ago I had a really, really fun newborn photography session with a family of four.  And then this morning I got the sweetest email in my inbox from mom, who sent me a picture of her toddler ‘photographing’ her new baby sister..

 

“I want to take pictures of baby sister like Suzy!” is one of the captions that accompanied the photo.

 

Despite popular belief, it is not always easy being a small business owner.  In fact, behind the beautiful blog posts and the seemingly glamorous Facebook status updates of ‘what we’re up to,’ are a lot of 80 hour weeks and sleepless nights, many days where I give up spending time with my family & friends so I can personally deliver items to a client’s home or take the extra time to work on an order that probably could wait until the morning.. so even just a simple thank you note or taking a few moments to email me about how much your kids had fun at the session.. truly those small gestures are the ones that keep me going and are so beyond appreciated xoxoxo
