On Empty | Sugar Land + Houston + Needville Senior Photography
October 15th, 2009 , Posted in Richmond + Sugar Land + Houston Family Photography, Richmond + Sugar Land + Houston HS Seniors Photography, Richmond + Sugar Land + Houston Kids Photography, Sugar Land + Houston Photography: My Life, UncategorizedConfession: I’ve got a bad habit. By nature, I am a perpetual night owl… defying my body’s natural sleep needs and burning the mid-night oil till all hours of the night without the aid of coffee. I’m not sure if I’ll ever change, but I sure would like to! Every now and then, when I actually get a normal amount of rest, I feel so amazing! My brain becomes 10x sharper and I feel so energized that I could clean and play all day long and not have a single complaint.
Typically after the kids are sound asleep, if I’m not working on my business then I’m cleaning the house or trying to snag a few minutes in front of the TV with my husband. However, lately, I’ve been spending my nights chit-chatting with my hubbie as I work away on my computer… It’s been a busy world over here at Sugar Shots – And although, I love it (like seriously, looooove it!), this workload keeps giving me even more excuses to stay plugged into photoshop editing away until my eyeballs start feeling like they are gonna fall out. I think this bad habit of mine (ours) is just that – a bad habit. It can be broken… just like any old habit can be. But, I think one of the reasons it’s been so easy for me to stick with my bad habit is because my sweet, little husband stays up with me while I work so we can “hang out”…. He lays on the floor with the laptop and we jam out to tunes while I work. Sounds like good quality time together, huh?! Yeah right! But, hey, at least he’s in there with me!
Anyhow, tonight, I’m going to put a stop to my long run of late nighters… I’m going to tell my husband my ever famous line: Tonight we are going to sleep early!! No late night editing, internet surfing, or youtube video jamming…. No Toddlers and Tiaras. No King of the Crown. And absolutely no Slim In 6 or PX90 workout infomercials!! Let’s just talk, snuggle and fall into a deep, restful slumber!
We’ll see what happens…. I’m pretty sure tonight is the night that habits will be broken!! Yay!
And, because I don’t want to leave this post bare… Here are some more of my faves from this senior session.





And, one of the last (and best!) shots of the evening:
