{time.to.recharge}

My last official Christmas photo session was yesterday. Up until yesterday, it has been a whirlwind of photo shoots, day after day, with editing taking place in the late hours of the night as my sweet girls sleep and my husband waits patiently for me to finish. I can't tell you how many times I said, "I'm almost done," only to have another five hours worth of work ahead of me. I can tell it's time to recharge. I've grown weary in taking pictures - not because I don't love it - but because I did so much, too fast. I'm learning every year to say "no" more, but it's still hard. I've met SO many amazing kiddos and families over the last few months, and I so hope that I've given them a little piece of the beauty that I see when I'm behind the camera.

So now I'm off to make Christmas cookies with my girls - a favorite activity of mine. These are the precious moments that I love. With the people that I love the most. So, I know I've been scarce for the last while, but I'm determined to stay that way while I love on my family who has been so patient with me.
