And where have I been, you might ask?
Chasing my son.
Up the stairs, back down the stairs, around the backyard, away from the toilet bowl, past the hot oven, out of the kitchen and into his bed! And that was just TODAY!
Since I wrote my last blog entry- my sweet baby has turned into a toddler. (Oh, and also we spent 8 months in Canada and are now back in Australia).
Photography has taken a back seat lately to mommy-hood. It has had it's ups and downs. Finding a balance between being a photographer and being a Mom has been difficult. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself to do everything. Someone needed to keep reminding me that being a Mom IS a job- and an important one (thanks honey). For the time being my main priority will be my little guy. Photography will be an outlet for creativity that I will jump at when the opportunity presents itself.
The last few months have taught me to slow down and let life lead the way a bit. In other words... play with my son, spend time in our new house getting un-packed, learn some new recipes, scope out the local sights. And stop.freaking.out. :)
Funnily enough- the moment I started embracing a break from photography... a photographic opportunity presented itself. A friend and her daughter were in town recently and I had a chance to capture them together one morning before they headed home.
It felt so good to be doing my 'thing' again. You may not hear from me quite as often as before- but I will still be around. And photography will always be a welcomed diversion from running after my gorgeous little monster!
Here are a few images from the day:
