Let There be Light!!!

I am so happy to report that the power is back on! Bless all of you who lived through power outages with little ones. Joan Delatte Photography will be back and running on Monday, September 15, 2008. I have heard from several of you on the condition of your homes and families. Thank you for keeping me up to date and for asking about my own family. We were fortunate because there was only minor damage to our home and yard. Molly and I evacuated to Tennessee- along with ALL of your pictures! Frankie had to ride out the storm at work and we didn’t get to see him for over a week! The important thing now is that everyone is safe and home. I don’t recommend 16 hours in a car with a 6 month old!

Blessings
Most of you who have been with me from the beginning know my background. I was a dedicated teacher and have always been passionate about photography. I managed to balance both until I lost my second pregnancy at 17 weeks. (We are still not sure why but the doctors have speculated about infection). At that point I knew I needed to take things a bit slower. I took a break from teaching after becoming pregnant for Molly and when she was born, she became my world. I love that photography allows me to take time to watch her grow and just be with her. Thank you all for giving that gift to me. I was just putting Molly to sleep ... for the 4th time this evening... and I was overwhelmed with love and amazement at this little person I've been blessed with. Our children are the most important things in this world! Please keep in your prayers one of the Joan Delatte Photography family (after all, every client is family here!) who just found out he will have to fight leukemia. Remember to cherish every hug, sigh, cry and laugh your little ones bless you with... there is nothing better!

Schedule

The only time I can get any work done is when my little one (who is going through a stage they call, “Separation Anxiety”) is asleep. (Anyone with tips on how to cope - Please email me!) So, due to the late hour, I will be making calls throughout the day tomorrow to reschedule the appointments that Gustav canceled and to return any messages anyone may have left for me. I am sorry to say that this week is out for reschedules because my babysitter is not back yet.

Here are the available times for next week.
