Stop and ...

I had grand plans to sit at home by myself and plug away at work while Andy and Ayden spent the weekend at the lake. They left on Friday and after a very productive day, a great session with a fab client and a trip to the mail box my plans changed.

I received a couple of bills, a few cards (thank you everyone) and a special letter from a special client. While I was going to put family on hold this last weekend that we all have free for the rest of the summer (8 August weddings for the studio) I quickly rethought that idea. I got a phone call to help out for CASA golf fore kids and accepted and then came home and packed to spend time with the fam. And it was time well spent. So now I'm back home getting ready for bed and leaving you with a short note and an image.

Thank you Dan for the letter and for the check to put those priorities in check. Family First! I had a great time with my boys this weekend and I wouldn't have if it weren't for you.

Remember to stop and smell the roses, or in my case Friday night on the way to the lake.... photograph the moon rise coming through the clouds.

Have a great week everyone and I'll try to post more on the blog this week as I plug away.

CA,

I think we often work too hard, especially during wedding season, and forget what’s really important – family and friends. Thanks for sharing this and your gorgeous photo too.

BTW, I quote you a lot now: you said, “photography is not an emergency” and that’s so true. Thanks for putting things into prospective so bluntly (I love that about you!)

I hope we get to do a road trip together in 2009.

Sara

Wonderful!!! I mailed the letter yet thursday evening, and didn't know for sure when you would get. Those kids grow up way too fast. In the future, when it comes to deciding on going to the lake, or working just to catch up, it should be a "no brainer". When things get hectic, refer back to the letter and get things back in perspective. I meant what I said. I am glad you had a great weekend!!!
