Say CHEEEEESE!!

And why are we cheesing so big, you may ask?? We just finished photographing our very last wedding!!! No more Draper Weddings. We were beside ourselves excited that day! In case any of you are thinking we are crazy for feeling that way, well you just don't know how burned out we have been, for a long time with taking wedding pictures. It was great for awhile, it supported our family, and allowed us to get to spend quality time with each other that we will never trade, but it also created a lot of stress and worry, that we are so glad to put behind us. No more "the check is in the mail" to have to wait 2 + weeks to get paid. Always wondering if we would book that next wedding, to be able to pay our bills. No more high strung freaking out bride. No more working you butt off until you drop, and cramps in my arms for holding a camera for 8 hours straight. No more working from home, that you could NEVER get away from. Now, I am not a photographer anymore, only a stay-at-home, homeschooling, foster mom, and that is more than enough for me.

  2. Good for you! I too know what you mean. I took this year off and love it. I was not near as busy as you and needed the relief. So happy for you.

  5. Well done Maury for making the decision. I hope things are a lot less stressed for you all now.
    Great, happy picture of your both.
    Thanks for your lovely comment. I am finding it hard too, at the moment, to keep up with blogging. So many things to do, so little time and so much sunshine over here at the moment!
