Booking the Balance

January 17, 2012

Here we are 17 days into the new year and I already have a big chunk of my 2012 session calendar booked.  I wish I had the time to take on every session that comes my way, but with two little ones at home it just isn’t possible practical.  I feel terrible turing potential clients away, but in order to keep the balance between my work and my family, I have to limit the amount of sessions I take on each month.  This limited work load allows me to ensure that I’m giving each client the attention they deserve.  Once Ellie starts school it will be easier for me to manage more sessions, but for now she is kind of hard to keep entertained while I work in the office and even harder to keep contained!

Happy New Year!

December 31, 2011

The Simply Loved family is ever growing.  In 2011 I was blessed with the opportunity to help welcome new additions, capture little one’s milestones, and help families celebrate major life changes.  Each and everyone of my clients becomes part of this family, a part of MY family.  Without your continue support this would not be possible.  I am so very humbled by the compliments and words of encouragement that are sent my way.  All the love you send me goes right back into this hobby of mine and this circle of love and energy is what makes Simply Loved bloom and grow.

On the account of the new year, I will be spending the next few weeks updating and upgrading a few things around here.  2012 holds new projects and many new products!

thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!

and our Christmas card this year

on my photography wish list for 2012 is a few births, a set of newborn twins, and more redheads!

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful clients : ) your continued love and support has made Simply Loved what it is today.  You’ve welcomed me into your families, sharing magnificent life moments with me and I will FOREVER cherish each and every one of you.  You have all played such a role in making my life what it is today - I am so very blessed!

and because a photography blog wouldn’t be complete without a picture in every post – look at Ellie’s new “trick”…

sloooooowly making my way back

August 22, 2011

The last two months have been quite the learning curve for me…  I completely forgot how much work babies actually are, and I’ve been coping with the reality that I just can’t get everything I want to done on any given day.

I am excited to get back to work BUT replying to emails and editing pictures takes a bit longer when you have a ten week old on your lap : ) I’m hoping to be back full time after the new year (once Ellie gets a little older and more independent); until then I will be limited to one or two sessions per month.

Sunshine and rainbows…

and ribbons for hair bows
that’s what little girls are made of
Sugar and spice
and everything nice
that’s what little girls are made of
Tea parties, laces
and baby doll faces
that’s what little girls are made of

June 21, 2011

Two weeks ago today, we welcomed our little princess into the world.  She is such a sweet little angel : )  we are so blessed to have her in our lives!  I’ve been taking hundreds of pictures, but it’s SO HARD to set my new cuddle bug down long enough to edit and upload them all, but here are some from Ellie’s first week…
