Balancing Act

Okay, so my last post stated the fact that I have gone back to work. It's true. I could not be any happier. Though I gotta tell you that it is truly a balancing act. We have two children, a seven year old marvelous boy and an eight month old stunning baby girl. It's a balancing act trying to get everything ready and put together in order for everyone to be out the door and to their respective corners.... husband out the door to the office by six, me and the kids out the door by seven-thirty (hoping that I have everything needed for their day with a dear friend of mine). You forget what is like having a baby when your oldest is seven.... I think I was about four month old when I remembered all the work babies took!! But Anita keeps telling me that I am 'supermom'..... hopefully it doesn't all come tumbling down..... I don't think I would know how to put it all back together again! It's way too beautiful the way it is right now.... and it is only going to get better!

Coffee Break

I think every girl deserves a break everyone once in a while. Recently I have gone back to a 'real' job... which I am LOVING! It is a part time position as a treatment coordinator/marketing guru in a high end cosmetic dental office. Love love love the people that I am working with... and it definately helps that I think the dentist is amazing! I love a good dentist... I think everyone needs one in their back pocket.

But in the meantime, I am still a mom and a women... who LOVES coffee and photography! What a better way to combine the two. The inspiration came from my lovely friend Chris (who I have adored since the day I met him!) He is one of the most amazing sylists that I am blessed to spend my time with.... and are going to combine our efforts in real short order. Soooo excited! I thought of him specifically when I put this shot together! Cheers to great friends, amazing jobs, fantabulous family... and the love of creativity, and boy how I am addicted to it!

Shuswap

There is a beauty about the Shuswap area that so many people overlook when they come out for their vacation. It tends to get a little crazy with young individuals coming out to let go of some pent up energy and issues through liquid beverages..... I have been known to be one of those silly people myself. Though bless the process of pregnancy and motherhood, I have spent the last two years really having an opportunity to enjoy what it is that the area has to offer outside the cold damp surrounds of the 'porceline queen'. Some of that beauty is handed to me on a silver platter as we are located right on the lake.... bless the good Lord above, and my husband too!!

Flying Kites

Capturing the pure joy in a childs face is the optimal reward for any photographer!

Cheerios...

All too often, we watch our children grow up right before our eyes, though don't always have the time or opportunity to sit and watch them with a camera aimed to capture every last move. Sometimes you have to force yourself to do it in between loads of dishes and laundry.... and then spend another hour on the computer posting it on your blog to show the world!! Oh, how we find time to appreciate the beauty of our children and then find the time to tell the world.... all while the dishes pile up and the laundry goes without being folded!!
