I’m not really sure why it took me so long to post these, but hey… 2 years later is better than never, right? 🤦🏻♀️
If I’m being honest, a lot from ‘24 and ‘25 never got posted. I felt stuck between working, deadlines, and trying to find balance as a mom of two with an infant at home. I did my best to find balance with everything, but social media and constantly being “present” online definitely took its toll.
So I made the intentional decision to slow down and truly soak in Hazel’s first year of life. Something I regrettably didn’t get the chance to do with Maverick. Once I became pregnant, my priorities shifted. I started choosing presence over pressure, and honestly, I’m really grateful I did.
One of the biggest blessings of this career is the freedom it gives me. The freedom to adapt to the season of life I’m in. The freedom to still do what I love while also being the mom and partner I want to be.
Sometimes I look at the life I’ve built and it genuinely overwhelms me (in the best way)!! Not just financially, because that has never been my foundation to why I do this, but emotionally and physically too. This career has allowed me to be there for my family in ways I’ll never take for granted. Allowed me the freedom to be creative on MY terms. And allowed me ways to truly give back to others.
None of it would be possible without the love and support from those around me… YOU Included. Truly. Every session booked, every referral, every kind word, every person who trusted me to capture their memories… it all added up to this life I get to live.
I don’t think I’ll ever fully be able to put my gratitude into words because it runs so deep, but please know I am eternally thankful for every single one of you.
Getting to photograph your families is one of my greatest joys. But getting to do what I love while still providing for and being present with my own family? That’s something I’ll never stop being grateful for.
So thank you. Thank you for supporting this dream of mine. Thank you for allowing me to live this beautiful, messy, meaningful life. And thank you for allowing me to serve you for nearly 20 years!!! I am so lucky! Thank youuu!!!!
