Image Peddler Photography | For the Love of Family...

Just when things are starting to get exciting...I am planning to slow my business down just a little. I'm going to be very selective on the shoots that I undertake in the near future due to some health concerns with my Mom. Life often times helps us to prioritize those things that are most important to us...and mine happens to be family. She's always been there for me...now it's my turn to be there for her. Something has to give...so this is my decision.

If I have already committed to doing a shoot for you...no problem! I am moving forward with all scheduled events. What I will be doing, however, is minimizing the amount of time on the weekends to possibly only one day (Saturday or Sunday), along with only 1-2 nights per week. I feel it's only fair to ensure that I have enough time to give 100% to my day job, 100% to my family, and 100% to my photography clients. With the schedule I've currently been managing, no arena is getting what they deserve and I don't like giving less than 100% to anyone.

For a sneak peak into the life of my Mom...the picture below was taken for my cousin's wedding. This was just shy of my Mom's 87th birthday. Doesn't she look wonderful for 87 years old? The picture on the left is of my sister and her family; the picture on the right is of my sister and I. And doing the picture-taking was my youngest son, Danny (17), who enjoys being on the backside of a camera almost as much as I do. Only regrets...he's never in the pictures then (which I think is intentional).

Up-coming Events:
- I still have 1-2 spots left for next weekend's Insane Saturday shoots...let me know if you're interested.
- I am planning on a Landscape Arboretum weekend in June, an "At The Farm/Cowgirl/Cowboy" theme in July, and an indoor/studio "retro" theme in August to beat the summer heat. If you have any other thoughts/interests, please let me know.
- I am still taking reservations for Father's Day shoots. Moms...bring the kids and have your pictures taken for that special Father's Day present...the perfect picture.

Till next time...thanks for stopping. Enjoy your week!
