Gone Fishin'  What an amazing week!  I had the most fun and the images we captured are unbelievable. Thanks to my constant customers who continue to support me in my endeavors and to the many many first time clients- I hope that you are thrilled with what we captured here at Dawn's Photography.  To say the least- Limits were caught and no one was rained out!  The INDOOR pond was a hit and the fish along with the "gooslings" (Caleb)/"ducklings" were a blast.  I've been working night and day to get the first of the proofs completed but in the average shoot of 20 minutes each client had over 60 images for me to edit out.  Some with over 150....OVERSHOOTERS ANONYMOUS- here I come!  These are just my first days customers.  More to follow as I complete them.  If your image is here but you can't access your online gallery please contact me!
    

         

I sit here today and realize it's already Wednesday and just wonder how I could get the Lord or father time to give me just a few extra hours that no one else gets.  I've hired Alisha who now comes in everyday after school and  which has made my working environment much more pleasant.  Although yesterday, she came in and boldly stated "Holy crap!  What happened it looks like a tornado went through your office!"  Yeah that would be me frantically searching for the kind of Geese I need to purchase for my pond theme to make them look bigger than ducks!  I knew I had it written and I could visualize the book it was in but could I find the book- NO!  I think having someone else organize you is great but it would be nice if they were here ALL the time to show me where it went!  Can't wait til summer when I have my girls here all the time to keep me where I need to be!  I realize that I've now hired 2 VERY organized teens and am THRILLED!  I swear that way I can just remain creative!    Perhaps it's a sign that no matter how organized I am I still    feel a bit disorganized!   We found the notebook in a PERFECT place where it should be but not without the tornado first. 
       Earlier today, I spoke with my mom on the phone, whom I have always perceived as a successful AND organized woman only to realize that she too would like more time to "catch up"so I realize that my problem is not only mine and perhaps I can just blame or thank her for how I am!  That's what mom's are for after all isn't it?  I'm finding that out more now that I'm the mother of TWO teenagers!  Hmmmm.... hug your babies twice today and leave the organizing for later- MUCH later!  I did and I'm so very glad that I cherished all those days and didn't worry about the spotless/organized life I so thought a "good mom/woman" could do. 
       My mind though and my creativity is VERY organized and I can remember/find any image of days gone by and I know immediately what it looked like so... you take the good, you take the bad, you take them all and there you have....The facts of life!!! (Loved that show- does that date me as much as I think it does?)
      Had a little "show and tell" yesterday with this weeks images.  Yes that is what I love most-  Taking the pictures and then creating my vision is totally so self rewarding.  Paul get's frustrated with "Show and Tell" as he's all about "business" and time management (yawn....)  But now that I have the girls after school he's no longer tortured too much and I can't WAIT for school to let out so I can have my time.
