Before I finally (after a month!) get around to posting some photos, I have an announcement to make. I’ve already told my friends, family, a few colleagues and a client I ran into at the store…but it’s time I make it known to everyone. This year I will not be taking any paid photo sessions. My original goal for this year was to cut my work hours back and gradually work in more photo sessions; however, with several huge projects being taken on at my day job it’s just going to be too difficult to run my photography business. I refuse to try and spread myself too thin and get myself to the point where I’m giving less than 100% to my clients or my day job. Not to mention my family!
Another factor that weighed heavily into my decision was the fact that I have neglected my own personal photos for what seems like forever. I would really like to take the time this year and get caught up on personal photo editing and (gasp!) perhaps even get them scrapbooked!!! I’ve also been dying to get some coffee table books printed up featuring some of our recent family adventures!
I certainly hope no one gets the impression that I’m going away forever. It’s just for this year only! Next year I will most definitely be cutting my work hours back and putting a huge effort into getting my business back up and running. This will also give me the time to get some of my coworkers at my day job trained in some of my responsibilities so that I will be in a position to cut my hours back when the time comes.
Anyway, without further ado, I wanted to post some photos I took of Ella when she was a week old (a little belated, I know 
). Enjoy!

Gotta love those tiny fingers:
Yesterday I babysat Ella while her mom and dad could go out for their first “post baby” date. I took lots of photos with my new 5D MarkII which I hope to be sharing in another day or two!
