I’ve discovered that having a family and owning a business is like trying to create the perfect recipe. The ingredients include family time, work, outsourcing some of life’s duties (cleaning, household things etc), time with your spouse alone, sleep, eating, away time, self care and time with Jesus. I still haven’t found the recipe to make things taste just right- but I’m constantly adjusting and trying to get things right. 👩🏻‍🍳 Anyone else feel like it’s a constant trial and error when it comes to family life & running a successful business? What’s been the most life changing thing you ever did that created a better flow, and more margin in your life?

Today, as I ordered some Mediterranean food at a restaurant before I headed back to the airport, the cashier was a girl who looked maybe a couple years younger than me. We began talking and the fact that I’m a photographer naturally came out in our conversation. She immediately lit up and said “oh that’s awesome! I’m actually kind of an amateur photographer.” And she then asked me how I ended up doing this and how I get clients all over the place, how long I have been doing this and all those kinds of things. It was such a nice little reminder that dang- I get to take pictures for a living and make incredible relationships with amazing people. The girl and I talked about how I started out in a dental office, going to school for nursingin the beginning of my career search. She explained she was thinking about nursing too because it was a “safe” option in terms of job security, but her heart was with photography. I could totally relate, that was the exact reason I had been going to school for nursing. Our conversation kind of got cut short as her boss came out and handed her the bag of food to give to me. But there's something else I wanted to say to her, and so I'll say it here: Hey you. Girl at the register at the Mediterranean restaurant- safe is good. There’s nothing wrong with being safe. But I am so glad that I chose this route. That I bet on myself and my ability to learn entrepreneurship, business mindedness, dedication, work ethic, and of course the art of photography. Do what you feel a fire in your belly about. Do what you were created for. If that’s nursing, great- do it and give 150% and the world with benefit so much from gaining another incredible nurse. But if that’s just a safe option, the world will miss out on what you were here to offer it. The world needs more women and men who don’t just show up to work, but women and men who have a burning passion behind why they show up. I hope you find what that is, and get after it. I’m rooting for you. ❤️

Ow ow! 🔥 slayyyyy girls, SLAY. •

I’m enjoying this first Saturday I’ve had off in a LOOOONG time ❤️ Tomorrow I have a flight at 6am to Dallas, shoot a bridal session and fly back at 11:30pm. 🤘🏼 One day I’ll be in such high demand that I’ll only take Tuesday brunch weddings and only shoot 10 a year.... 😂😂 Those are realistic goals right?? 🤔 Anyway- enjoy this dreamy shot of @gypsynspice & @ovlacekaj the day of their wedding when we took a train to Montmartre❤️
