A duplicate...

I think I am on my other blog now more than this one...it's kind of hard balancing a business that you are trying to run on  your own and a life together.  I might just make this blog my photography blog...and be happy with one.  Then again, when I buy my own domain name, I am going to have it in a blog format because I think it's important for clients to get a feel for the kind of person I am (and it's easy when I get to type my heart out of things I admire, feel, struggle with).  So they aren't totally clueless when showing up for a shoot.  With all those bunny trails said, I wanted to post the stuff I put on my other blog in case you don't check the other one out.  So, hope this isn't too redundant...but it happens to be something crazy that took place over my ever so quiet weekend - no photo sessions :-( ...so here ya go:

Due to the icky weather I had to cancel my session with the wonderful family I was going to shoot.  Ahhhh!  So frustrating!  So, what do you do when you're in the mood for shooting and there are no subjects?  Torture one of your own offspring...

Ashton has been very proud of his new battle wound.  He gashed his head open yesterday.  I heard some crying upstairs during their quiet time, and had a little voice inside tell me to check it out.  To my discovery, blood...everywhere!

Thankfully I am one of those, stay-calm-in-an-emergency kind of folks.  So, as I cupped my hand under his ever flowing wound, I tried to encourage him that everything would be OK.  A roll of toilet paper later revealed that his gash was about 1/2 inch long and maybe 1/8 inch deep.  He probably could have used stitches from a doc, but I just got some butterfly bandages, and cleaned the area. A doctor friend of ours was returning a saw and was able to see if I did a good enough job cleaning it and closing it up.  I did.  :-)

Here is my dear, brave, subject...my son.  And his lovely boo boo.

ps.  It has been so timely that I have begun reading the book "Bringing Up Boys" (sorry, I can't find an underline on here) by Dr. James Dobson ;-)
