This week was one of those weeks. Jose has been on spring break and that has been so great to have him around the house giving us flexibility with so many things we juggle when he is working. This week I had 3 photo shoots, a photo consultation, photo bookings, Jose's birthday, Ava got the flu (or something and still is not 100%) and break ends tomorrow.
Let's start with the photo shoots..absolutely so much fun! 3 little babies...two who are just about or just past 8 months old and one who was 7 weeks. The 7 week old was so nerve wracking. It was for a friend of mine who I went to photography school with. She was the speaker at our graduation and a very talented photographer. She had contacted me to take photos of her when she was pregnant, but for one reason or another, we could never get together due to schedules and distance since she lives an hour away. When she had the baby she contacted me again to take her daughters photos. "WHY?" I said...normally, I do not ask such a question, but being who she was, I was very confused. Since we graduated from school, she has taken a different path. She is now a baker...and a good one at that. This past year she was on the show "Top Chef/Baking Edition". The photo equipment that she owns is a 4x5 and film cameras. Since photography equipment is so expensive, she never upgraded since switching careers. I was so flattered she chose me to take the photos. She has a huge photo pool of photogs but liked my work. It is a very huge compliment and one I welcomed. You can see why I was nervous...I wanted to give her what she wanted, but I had to stay true to myself and my style...after all, that is who she hired.
On to Jose's birthday...I planned his birthday for a few weeks ahead. I know a personal trainer who lives on our street. I hired her for a training session for the two of us early in the morning on his birthday. I totally surprised him and just handed him a card that said "put your work out clothes on and be ready at 9". We walked across the street to the gym (my mom came to watch the kids...ava was home sick) and had a great workout. He loved it!! He never takes a work out class like I think women tend to do and he is totally self motivated. This was refreshing and new for him and it was perfect. He showered, changed and met me back at home where we went out for lunch, just the two of us. We came home, hung out a bit, and I sent him on to his second surprise. A massage. If you know my husband, you know that those two things are what he loves most...next to me of course! LOL
He has a present that we are stilll waiting for in the mail that he does not know about...when it arrives, I will let you in on it.
On to Ava getting sick...ugh...poor Avie. She came down with a fever on Wednesday and has had it off and on as of last night. Today we are taking it easy and I need her to rest.
I am in my PJ's...hanging low today...blogging, editing, surfing, planning the week.
Enjoy your weekend...here are some photos from this week:
