Wichita Kansas Portrait Photographer
So I have been thinking about refocusing my business when we move and I have made a decision. I think I want to refocus more on portraits than weddings.
This does not mean that I am NOT wanting to do weddings. I do. I really enjoy them. Over the past 7 years I have been employed in almost every aspect of the wedding industry. Seriously - I sold wedding gowns for almost 2 years. I have been a wedding planner/coordinator in Kentucky and in Iowa. I have worked for a linens company outfitting venues (chair covers, tablecloths, etc...) And I have worked for a lady who does wedding decor (centerpieces, backdrops), is a fabulous florist and an expert cake maker. So I can plan a wedding, decorate for it, find the *right* dress, make the bouquet, decorate the cake AND photograph the whole thing. Weddings I can do. Saturdays are the problem.
See, we have these 2 ADORABLE little boys who are trying to grow faster than the speed of light. And I don't want to miss that. I don't want to get so busy chasing 'my dream' that I miss my life! I don't want to have to forgo their playdates or ball games or lazy Saturdays. So what does all this mean?
It means I'm limiting the amount of weddings I will cover. I will probably only accept one a month - perhaps two if there are extenuating circumstances. Weddings take an extraordinary amount of work. An average of 8 to 10 hours of shooting in one day. Then hundreds of shots to upload, backup, sort through, edit, re-edit, proof, finalize. Then people can order their prints. Oh, don't forget album design. One wedding could easily eat up a whole work week, even if I wasn't being interrupted every 15 minutes for diapers/drinks/toys/fights/movies/snacks/boo-boos/hugs. I'm not complaining here - I'm explaining.
Honestly, my desire lately has been to do another baby shoot. {Any pregos out there - hit me up!!} Seriously, maybe it's just the baby fever, but I have been wanting to do another newborn shoot since that last one. Speaking of baby fever - NO, I'm not. And I'm not wanting to be. I want to acquire another child - not necessarily have one. Anyways, don't ask me if I am - I get GREATLY offended (as would any woman) when I am asked if I'm expecting when I'm not. If you wonder: WAIT (with your comments to yourself) until I announce something on my blog. What you might think is a 'new blessing' is likely a poor wardrobe choice.
On that note - I shall sign off. Until next time....
