Maggie is the main post processor/photo editor and a lot of time during our "days" is devoted to finishing final collections of images for our clients. In order for this to happen, someone must oversee Sweet Cheeks, ensuring he doesn't drown one of the cats in the toilet. Betty or "Lou Lou" as he calls her (in reality he calls her nothing, just a grunt with arms reaching up and we get it) is the official, in house baby wrangler. So while Maggie bangs out editing, Betty gets to spend some quality "Turner and Lou Lou" time and we don't have to pay for a sitter. Win win!
But there are so many more things to do, other than just shooting and editing. The business side of things requires a lot of research to be done, decisions to be made, and errands to be run. These things call for both of us to be focused on whatever it is we're doing, and since we're still not paying for a sitter (ha!) we do them when Sweet Cheeks takes his nap. Ahhh, the daily *almost* two hours we get to sit down at the table together, and work on what needs our attention. Payments, contracts, scheduling (Lordy), website, blog, design, networking, and emails to name a few. We work like mad women, never getting it all done, but always more than we expected to. The rest gets saved for after dinner, to be finished over text messages, from one house to another.
So today we're giving a shout out to Sweet Cheeks. Thank you, you sweet, adorable, hysterical little child for laying your butt down, closing your eyes and taking those much needed naps. One day, maybe we'll join you ;)
