Big News

So whats the big news you ask? Isaac and I will be expecting our first child at the beginning of 2010. I am currently 13 1/2 weeks pregnant and my due date is Jan 22,2010. We are so excited about this addition to our family! We could not be more blessed with the timing of it either. Since I will be due in Jan. this will not affect any 2009 weddings at all! Woohoo!!! I am just now departing from my first trimester and entering my second trimester and wow was the first trimester a trying time. So there is the reason why I have not been blogging lately, I have either been sleeping or being awfully sick if not working. I hope to be back blogging in the next few weeks on a regular basis.

We are very excited to be having a baby within 6 months of both of my sisters. My oldest sister Lauren just had a baby a few weeks ago and my second oldest sister Caitlin is due a short 4-5 weeks after I am. How exciting!

Sono taken at 9 weeks. Looks like a teddy graham or a sour patch kid.


With this big news I must announce another big plan. With the addition to our family we have had to make some big decisions in the last few weeks. Over the past few weeks I have been struggling with what to do next year. I have been debating whether or not I want to work next year. Over the last few days I have come to the conclusion that it would be a disservice to my clients and to my family if I were to continue working next year at the pace I am doing this year. I do not have the capacity to split my time equally between my family and my work. After watching my oldest sisters newborn over the course of a week I realized how important those first few months/years are and I do not want to miss out on any of it. It is hard to make such a drastic decision when I don't even know what it is going to be like to have a baby, but being a wedding photographer I need to be proactive and make these decisions early on. We have 3 weddings booked so far for 2010 and will only be taking 8 more local weddings for the 2010 season. So if you are having a wedding in the Oswego/Syracuse area get on the phone ASAP and call us up. This may be just a one season part-time hiatus and you may very well see us out every weekend in 2011, but we will be taking one season at a time.

Please email us at Jenna@KainsPhotography.com if you have any questions or concerns! I cannot wait to see how the rest of this wedding season progresses and then to see my baby!
