**ANNOUNCEMENT**ANNOUNCMENT**
AZP will be coming to a close. Not just for the year, but permanently. All good things come an end, as they say. I want to put a 100% focus on my health and my family for the first time in almost 18 years. It’s crazy that my photography career has lasted that long, but I am forever grateful for all of that time behind the camera and the beautiful people in front of it! I appreciate all of you for taking a chance on me and giving me the opportunity to be a part of your lives and make memories for your families to look back on.
Am I sad? Yes. I have made some incredible friendships along the way that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Watching your kids grow into amazing humans has been an absolute honor and privilege. It’s more of a bittersweet decision, to be honest.
A lot of what I do is very positive and fun and then there’s the part that’s not so positive and fun. I’m finding that people are moving in other directions (and that’s cool). There’s been a lot of lack of communication. There’s been negative comments and comparing me to other photogs. Every photographer is different — the way they process images to the use of props and/or studios, if they shoot primarily outdoors, etc. And we’re all great at our craft, just different. To be honest, I don’t need the disrespect in my life, especially when I’ve been nothing but respectful, understanding, compassionate, patient, supportive and kind. So, it’s not all lollipops and rainbows over here. Is that the reason I am throwing in the towel? Absolutely not. But I’m not going to lie and say that it doesn’t factor in a little. Like I said, it has been WAY more of a blessing than anything else.
Now, having said all of that, I do have some people that still need to schedule. I got you, no worries!
For those who have been with me a long time (my regulars) that want to stick around and call me when something comes up, I’m down! In fact, I would love that very much! Please, don’t hesitate. Your loyalty over the years makes me loyal to you. ♥️ 812-786-4547
I hope every one of you enjoys your holidays with your families! 🦃🌲
