WHAT A WEEK!!


little backstory ...


Our sweet Kalese is teething and this mama is getting EVEN LESS SLEEP than usual. She's almost 6 months old and seems to be teething so hard, man! In the last week, I think I've gotten around 8-10 hours of sleep. Mais, I'm tired, me!


Several weeks back, I booked a Fresh-48 session to be done at TERREBONNE General Medical Center (TGMC) in Houma. Well, that person who booked ghosted me! This was a free session someone was chosen for and a gift from me since I wanted something new for my portfolio & was in a giving mood at the time since I'd just had our sweet baby #2, btw! Fast-forward a couple weeks and I chose another person to give that session to... we were all sick, so I switched it to an at-home lifestyle session... It went great! I posted about it in my last blog post... But I still was wanting to do another Fresh-48, so I was thrilled when someone booked one a couple months ago for THIS WEEK!


The day comes. We'd conversed, confirmed, and were all ready to go!


I get to the hospital and try to buzz myself in...

"We don't have a patient here by that name." I hear from the intercom...


shock ... horror ... hot flash ensues ...


I'M AT THE WRONG HOSPITAL!!!


contacts client right away ...


I'd JUST been dropped off and sent my mom and my breastfed baby around town in my car while she slept for her nap. I frantically tried calling and kept getting her voicemail, texting, & praying. She'd swapped over to a new phone earlier this week and it wasn't working properly, so when I'd finally realized I needed to leave a voicemail & pray she would get it to come back and get me ASAP, she finally picked up!! It was the weirdest thing... I was actually leaving a message when it clicked over and I could hear her saying "hello". WHEW!!! She was finally back to me in a few minutes and we were off BACK TO THIBODAUX: where I live--where I'd just driven from... UGH!! WHAT A MORNING! My mom had planned to visit with us for a while at my house that morning, too, before we headed to Houma, but an accident along her way here from Erath put her back an entire hour. GOOD THING we had so much cushion time before she had to be here for our scheduled session. My client had 3 other boys to worry about while waiting on me to get there.


I made it to *THE CORRECT HOSPITAL* 30 minutes late and my baby was up and fussing by this time, so I ended up having to nurse her again before going in, so that took me another 15 minutes. I was 45 minutes LATE to a session with KIDS! At this point, I'm so apologetic and, frankly, embarrassed that I made such a mistake. A little more sleep and I think I may have gotten it right the first time, but I digress... We had a wonderful session and their boys were the sweetest little security guards and I know they'll be protecting that baby girl for a lifetime to come!


Since all my chaos, I stayed a little longer, got many more photos than I originally planned, & delivered twice as many photos as promised. Many thanks to Seaira, Austin, & their kiddos for their patience! Please enjoy this little snippet of their session. :)
