Hard to believe my last post was two months ago.
After losing my Dad, I didn’t give myself much time to grieve — I jumped back into work quickly, documenting beautiful moments in other people’s lives. At the time, that’s exactly what I needed, a way to feel connected to love and joy again, to channel those emotions into something meaningful.
But when things finally slowed down, it all caught up with me — like a freight train. I’ve heard over and over that grief isn’t linear, and I’m learning that firsthand. I don’t want to talk about it all the time, but I also don’t want to pretend I’m past it or that it’s not still with me.
I don’t want to live in grief, I don’t want to talk about it all the time, but I also can’t ignore that it’s a part of me.
So here I am — still slowly making my way back. Finding a new rhythm. Letting myself be quiet when I need to be, and honest when I feel ready. I’m learning to balance being open and vulnerable here, while also giving myself the space to sit with my feelings and find comfort in the people I love.
The break was healing. No pressure to share, no need to explain — just space to simply be.
Now, I’m figuring out how to show up here again — but honestly, I have so much to share and I’m so excited to celebrate the beautiful moments to come with such incredible couples and their love stories.
If you’re still here reading this, thank you. It means more than I can say. Thank you so much for sticking around ❤️ And please know I’m holding space for anyone else navigating grief, healing, or just trying to find their way ❤️
