For many photographers the month of October is one of the busiest times of year for them. The previous two years that was very much the case with my photography business as I was booked for a lot of weddings in October. This year my October was busy, but it was with other work beside my photography work. The totality of my photography was done over the course of the last two weekends of the month as I photographed a courthouse wedding, an engagement session, and a family session during that time. Instead I was kept busy by working with my brother-in-law on doing some renovations on a house in Lake Forest for much of the month. Meanwhile, to end the month of October I was tasked with housesitting for my parents as they went out of town for a week long trip.
