Hello Mommy Mondays Goodbye Moody Mondays

Ok I have to admit it - I have never been a fan of Mondays. Collage or school days meant the start of another grueling week. Then you enter the work force and well its work. Then you have kids and Mondays are gone for awhile b/c really - well every day is kind of the same. Then back to the work world and moody Mondays seem to come. So after 10 years in the photog biz and three kids...I decided I needed to reclaim Mondays. Why Mondays? Why not. It's the start of the week - since Sunday doesn't count - that's my day of rest. So a month ago we closed the studio on Mondays. To my clients - my apologies if this inconvienced you - but for my sanity I had to do it - to be a better Wife, Mom AND photographer. And I would challenge everyone else to claim time for them. If it can't be a day - maybe a few hours - some time. We all need time for us. Now on Mondays - I can send the kids off to school, camp or if they are sick, which has happened twice now in my first month - be home with them all day. I can get a pedicure - take my Pilates class and just enjoy the time. When Tuesday comes around I am ready. I have had my time and now I can begin the week. Yes, it's a bit busier at the studio Tuesday-Friday - but remember, I like what I do, so it's all good! So go ahead - take some time for YOU. I dare you!

Here are some pics of a cute - Ryan Watson - he is such a big boy now and has been coming to the studio for years. I love watching him grow into this adorable little boy! He is only three and such a cute already!! With that hair - how can we not love the red heads!!
