Fun Fact Friday: Get to Know Your Photographer – A Day in the Life

Ever wondered what a typical day looks like for a mom, photographer, stylist, and entrepreneur? Well, you’re in luck—today I’m giving you a little peek behind the scenes of my day-to-day life. Spoiler alert: it's full of coffee, cuddles, creativity, and chaos (the good kind)!

7:00 AM – Rise and shine! The day starts with feeding our very pampered guinea pigs, Sparkles and Evelyn, and giving our sweet golden doodle, Dixie, her morning belly rubs. Then it’s time to wake up the kiddos, get them dressed, and make sure they’re fed and ready for the day.

8:15 AM – We walk the kids to the bus stop (a favorite part of our morning routine), then Dixie and I head out for a stroll around the neighborhood—she lives for these walks!

9:00 AM – Time for a quick run! Dixie joins me for about 1–2 miles—her max limit before she turns into a puddle of fluff for the rest of the day.

9:30 AM – Breakfast (always coconut yogurt!) while I check in on social media, post updates to @photosbykellylynn, @inspiredsoulsshootouts, and @thefamilystyle_ and work on creating seasonal mood boards and outfit inspiration for my LTK page.

10:30 AM – I finally shower and get dressed—because yes, sometimes the mom life means PJs till 10.

11:30 AM – 3:30 PM – This is my power window! I knock out editing galleries, writing blog posts, working on marketing, and managing bookings and client emails. I’m not one to sit at a computer for hours straight, so I mix in laundry, vacuuming, and mopping. It’s a multitasking marathon.

3:30 – 4:15 PM – A little breather. I usually grab a quick snack, check back in on socials, and mentally reset before the evening rush begins.

4:30 PM – The kids are home! We unpack backpacks, go through homework, and get everyone settled before starting dinner.

5:00 PM – Time to cook! Dinner is always a bit chaotic but one of my favorite parts of the day.

6:00 – 7:00 PM – Evenings are a mix of chauffeuring to activities or heading out to shoot a golden hour session (my favorite light of the day).

8:00 PM – The bedtime routine begins—baths, brushing teeth, bedtime snuggles, and tucking everyone in.

9:00 PM – Finally, I wind down with my husband, catch up on a show (or let’s be real, re-watch an old favorite), and then it’s off to bed.

Being a mom and running a business is a wild ride, but I honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything. Every day is a little different, always busy, and always full of love, creativity, and purpose.

Thanks for tagging along today—and if you're new here, I'm so glad you're getting to know me a little better. I can’t wait to capture your family's story sometime soon!
