I know you have heard this before but I typically start my morning talking to my dad. Even though he didn't tell me he was proud of me to my face when he was alive, he told everyone he met about my accomplishments and bragged to the point that I wish he would just stop it. But deep down, I loved knowing he did this. (But I wouldn't tell him that.) :-) I think my parents were and are my biggest cheerleaders. Not the kind that stand beside you screaming "look at my daughter, she's awesome and she can do anything." But the kind that sat quietly in the stands whispering "you can do it you can do it" and sat with their fingers crossed. Then of course, spouted off to all their friends when it came time to compare each other's kids. You know the game, "My son did this. Oh yeah well my daughter did this." And so on. During our conversation this morning, I told Dad that things needed to pick up at the studio. Yeah, I am making enough to pay the bills, which is awesome and I am very grateful for that. But I wanted to photograph more children and not just seniors. Don't get me wrong! Seniors are awesome! But little ones are so unpredictable and can be so entertaining. My "want" was granted! Had a full day of rug rats and a repeat Thursday and Friday and then again next week! Awesome! See my dad does listen to me. I miss you!
