These twins have this insanely contagious laugh! They are active in softball and the books they are reading are quite impressive. We met at Felicity Park (my first time there) and found all these neat places to have our session - where we laughed our entire time together.

Here are my favorite shots of the day!

Here is a slideshow of our session (if it doesn't show up on your screen - please click refresh):

We went to Disneyland on Monday with my Uncle Manny and his family. I have this photo on my desktop at work and every time I look at, it brings me back to that very moment - waiting for the parade to start. I think to myself - THIS is why photographs are important. THIS is why I do what I do - to be taken back in time to this very moment.

and this moment... and this moment... and this moment...

I’m at the fork on the road which begins a new chapter of my career. To the right, I could continue to take in sessions on a leisurely basis while continue with my day job. To the left, I could pursue what my mom calls “my bliss” and take this business to a new level while still continuing my day job.

I have no desire to leave my day job. It provides security, retirement and medical benefits. I’ve also made some really good friends here that I get to hang out with and see five days a week.

So what to do… what to do...

Over the weekend I watched Tamara Lackey – “Getting Down to Business” on Creative Live. After watching it and embracing all that she had to say – I sat with it. In my dreams I am sitting down staring at this fork on the road trying to decide which direction to take. Times like this I wish I was the type of person that can just make a decision – the over analyzing part of me is definitely annoying. My husband, sisters and friends stare at me while I torture myself with decisions and shake their head… saying, you know the answer. I have no doubt I could do both – the question is do I take this “bliss” to a new level? This new level requires putting some systems in place to run this business efficiently so that I can do more sessions and provide more products while still being an active part with the love that surrounds me – my family. It requires absolute focus on the time I have available which isn’t much. My heart beats a little faster every time I think about the possibilities. It is possible, isn’t it?

Don’t get me wrong – I know I can’t do photography full-time AND my day job, that would be a little (just a little) crazy. As it stands right now I did 33 sessions last year with a good portion during the holiday season. I can already see a little increase in numbers this year. I'd like to see if I can reach my goal of 100 sessions in one year. Eeeks – I said that out loud!
