Can you say BUSY? | Brainerd Area Photographer

August has always been busy for me. Day job = busy. Side photography job = busy. Family = busy.

But now that I answer to myself, I get to define what "busy" really means. And it means shooting every day, post-editing every day, design work every day, answering a lot of emails and phone calls, running kids to and from VBS—(what's lunch?)—making dinner, laundry, getting in a *little* exercise and, of course, keeping up with book club. (More on my awesome book club in a later post.) And all of the other odds and ends life throws in there.

I don't want to bore you with the busyness of my life. I get that a lot of people are really busy. But I also know that there is an art to time management. If you don't have a way to track your time and projects, you'll fall flat on your face. I do that sometimes. And that's when I get snippy, sad, frustrated. So I ask you, how do you time manage? I love Google Calendar with events and task lists. I love iPhone reminders. I love lists. I love folders in my email inbox. My left brain LOVES to organize. My right brain says "Let's COLOR CODE EVERYTHING! YAY!" So this is how I manage to keep life in order. It works . . . so far.  Speaking of which, time to schedule girls' night out. Color code: Wine.

And again, on to why you are here: Maddie! I'll cut to the chase. She is beautiful, isn't she? The gorgeous smile, natural curls and AMAZING smile. She is effortlessly a beauty. Even though she forgot her jeans (thanks Kim for running to grab them), the time still flew by and we got wonderful photos. Congrats Maddie on your senior year, and I'll see you next month for shoot #2!
