Quick note:

I’m sure most of you have noticed that the updates here are sporadic at best. There’s a reason or two for that.  First, It’s birthday season here at Scottie’s house. My kids are growing up so fast; the months of March through June are filled with birthday cake, Ice cream, and presents. Sometimes to the point I want to scream and throw stuff out the kitchen window.

Second, Its nearing the end of the school season and that means field trips, and parties, and end of the year tests to prepare for.

And third, I just haven’t really wanted to spend what little free time I have left in front of a computer screen. You understand, right?

Soon all will be right as rain again, and then I can tell you the story about how the silly chicken we own is trying to hatch a green plastic Easter egg.

Until then…God bless

Finished…

I finished up the senior pics that I started over a year ago….well almost a year. I have to admit that this is not a profession that I want to go into. There’s too much time spent in front of the computer ‘editing’. ‘Course if I took better pics then maybe that time spent going blind in front of a screen would be less.

All in all, it wasn’t totally my fault that this shoot took so long—-I’ve done others that only too weeks.  The family involved had a lot to do with the time table.  One moment they wanted the photos immediately and the next they would have a fight with their son and not want them at all.   This went on for months. Sprinkle that with holidays, weddings, and my own family stuff and the year’s time was filled up pretty quick.  Plus, why put my hard effort and time into everything if they weren’t even sure they wanted them in the first place?  At least there was no money involved. That could have gotten pretty ugly.

The mother called last week and wanted them done by the end of this week. Now I wasn’t looking forward to spending my Easter vacation time on these, but told her fine…I’d have them by Wed.  She called and canceled this morning’s appointment so I just told her that I would  email the whole lot to her and be done with thing. She agreed.

We’re still on speaking terms, the mom and me that is—we’re good friends. She’s just squabbling with her son again.  I’m just glad it’s done with and told my hubby to shoot me in the head if I ever agreed to do something like this again. He promised to do so.

With that said…. Happy Graduation, Justin!
