Last fall, I swore off professional photography and officially closed the doors of my photography business. My blog had become busy enough, and frankly I was making more money for my time through my blog than I was for my photography. I just couldn’t do them both well at the same time.
I think the added stress of being so busy all the time killed my photographic creativity…as well as my enjoyment of taking pictures. The result has been many, many months of very few pictures. I need to turn that back around somehow, not for the business, take-pictures-of-other-people aspect of my photography business, but for the pure enjoyment and creativity that I used to have when I held my camera.
Recently, I made a little exception to my “commitment” to stay away from photo shoots. I love these girls so much (I’ve been taking their pictures since the twins were teeny babies) that I couldn’t resist a fall photo shoot with them. We have a yearly “date,” after all.
Here are just a few of my favorites from our time together:

They are precious! Beautiful pictures!
The photos are lovely and the girls are just too cute!
What beautiful photos of these girls, they are so pretty, I love the outfits they are in. Getting pictures of my kids, year around is a must.
I’ve felt the same way about my photography business! It’s sad but I tend to take fewer pictures of my own family and life when I’m busy with photography work. I took a complete hiatus about nine years ago, and then when I made the switch to digital started doing sessions for family and friends only. It’s become a good balance for me to only do one or two sessions a month- although during the fall I’m busier with family pictures for Christmas cards :)
These are adorable pics of the girls!
