At a recent session, a customer asked me, "What would you be doing today if you did not have a session?"
That one question was a wake up call for me, and it took everything in me to hold back the tears. I would be outside with my sons watching them play. We probably would have gone to to the park. Maybe play a game on the Wii. And being so involved in the business, it took a toll on my kids. My husband was always great and supportive, but when my boys start to have a hard time it is time to stop. Family is always my #1 priority.
I will still do photography---but only as a hobby! I will still have this blog, but the name is going to change and it will be about anything and everything. The families I have met along the way of the business have been awesome, and I am so grateful I had the chance to meet them. I was given a chance, always grateful I took those chances.
Hi! I found you via bloggymoms! I can so relate to this. I used to do cake decorating from home. It took up SO much time and made such a mess. I put it to the side also. I homeschool our 4 boys and life just flies by too fast! You can find me at www.thehesitanthousewife.com
ReplyDeleteHey, Liz and nice to meet you :) I am so glad I made the decision to put the focus on my family first, and just do photography for fun. In the past week, I have felt more relaxed and my boys have been very happy! It is true they grow up way too fast.
