I know my clients. I try to keep rough track of what industry the grownups work in and the ages/grades of the kids. Part of DC is a small town and it's fun to find out so-and-so works at this agency and knows the guy I dated in college who also works there. Or our … Continue reading It’s Funny.

Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.
As always, as a neurodivergent perimenopausal women trying to make a living without working in a cubicle ever again, I struggle with EVERYTHING. Imposter syndrome is rife in a world where I run my business by my gut and not how "they" think a small photography business is "supposed" to work. Because I do things … Continue reading Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.
You Guys.
End of summer wrap up! It's August. I'm exhausted. Getting ready for the adventures ahead and? The Job Search is happening hard. Welcome to crazytown. And I have mental health issues so I can say that.
I use to have a brain.
What the heck, people. Have you read about women hitting peri-menopause and suddenly their brains stop working? And then they end up with a late diagnosis of ADHD, autism, or some other form of neurodiversity? Yeah. Somethings up. My therapist agrees.

Thankfully we had a place … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Deep in Mitzvah season and getting into school and senior photos soon too, plus spring, and 5th grade yearbook creation, theatre rehersal carpooling, still unemployed husband and all the fun that comes with switching your health insurance from regular insurance to medicaid and trying to get two of your favorite … Continue reading What? It’s the end of March already??
And now for something completely different. But not.
So, I'm sitting here at my desk. I've gotten my morning adminstrative tasks done, and now I'm picking up writing this post for the third time. It's been A Week. I feel like I have one of those weeks a couple times a month but this one really hit it. One week ago today, my … Continue reading And now for something completely different. But not.
Relief
January felt like it came with a side of flaming poo. Anyone else feel that way? Post holiday blahs, the crush of all our family birthdays spilling out weekly starting mid-month, the absolute worst weather of the year - add in omicron and it all combined to feel like a tidal wave of blahs that … Continue reading Relief
What a week
We have finished 10 days of January and I’m kinda ready to start all over again. Phew! Last week was a serious struggle. School has been up in the air and guidelines seem to be changing constantly to the consternation and frustration of parents and teachers. Add in two snow storms and I was physically … Continue reading What a week
