Have you been to Towler Photography yet? I first talked about it here.
I did a blog post over there to introduce you to my friends that gave me my "push" to open my own photography business.
In addition to loving it, it is tough. Today I had to tell a client for 3 month old photos that we could do pictures today but if she came to my house {where we had planned to shoot} she would be exposing her little one to my twin 3 year old boys and their dual colds and pink eye. She graciously asked to do the shoot another time. And then came the sadness. Not b/c she r/s... she's a friend of mine and has loaned her daughter out to me for a full year to take pictures while I build my portfolio {yes... I'm that lucky to have such sweet friends in my life!} the sadness came b/c I had to put someone in that predicament. This won't be the only time I have these feelings. I am a full-time mother and wife, a part-time RN and part-time photographer. So I know that there will be complications with my schedules and I will have to go with the flow and be patient with myself. That doesn't make it feel any better though.
I do have other photography things to work on but today is Sunday so I will do laundry and house charming so I can be productive tomorrow and the rest of the week. My list of to do's:
I need to put a set of family photos on a disk.
I need to design and order business cards {It's tough to make a decision and stick with it!}.
I need to edit commercial photos I just did for a local business.
I also need to wrap Christmas Presents!!!!! This year we are using peacock feathers!!
I don't think pre-school will allow the boys in if their eyes still look red. It's viral conjunctivitis. The drops won't work so we have to just wait it out--ugh. This may put a severe kink in my productivity tomorrow :-( Again... patience is a must if I'm to survive my chosen life. I do love my life!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy Towler Photography! You can see the latest updates on the Towler Photgraphy Facebook Page too!
Cheers and Love Respectfully~

I love your photography site! I am so impressed by all that you take on! You shouldn't feel bad (easier said...)because that kind of thing could happen to a full-time photographer.
Keep it up and Merry Christmas to all of you! Oh...hope the boys get better fast!
Will have to pop by and check out your site, It sounds very exciting. It is not easy juggling all the demands we mother's have. So glad to see you made the most of your changed plans, as they say when we are given lemons make lemonade! Hope your boys are over the conjunctivitis soon!!!
Way to go, Ivy! I have been impressed by you since we "met" and love seeing what you're up to. Happy holidays to you and yours. :)
