Keeping it real with Kim

I think I'm ready to get back into blogging. I feel like I always have an excuse to NOT blog but to be honest I think I should just do it. As I go throughout my day I always think to myself, "Hey, I should blog about this!" But then I don't. It's sort of messing with my mind because I'll think that I DID blog about it (because I wanted to) but then I don't. Enough about that.
So the photography stuff is really taking off. Almost too quickly. I'm having some trouble keeping up with it, mostly due to the high demands of caring for two young children, trying to be a lovely wife and just a sane person in general. But since I am married to a project manager, he is going to help me come up with a solid game plan to help this run a lot smoother and to see what I can and can't do. Taking the pictures is the easy part. It really doesn't take much time at all. And shopping for props? Well that's no problem at all. I could shop antique stores all day (if Dane would let me and we had unlimited funds). But editing takes FOREVER. Seriously it takes so freaking long. I would say about 30 minutes per picture, and a photoshoot of one child is usually about 20 pictures. So 20x30=600/60=10. I'm spending about 10 hours on editing alone. And let me just say that most photo shoots AREN'T just one child. They are usually 2 or 3. And I add in about 10 pictures per each additional child. Right now I bumped up my price to $100 (because hello, at $50 I was making about $4 an hour). So now I'm closer to minimum wage. Haha, I don't think people realize how much of a freaking good deal they are getting on me. And I give them a disc too.
I hope someday soon I can charge more because at this rate I will have a hard time keeping it real.
