Welcome 2026 ✨
2025 was a year of learning, growing, and finding my way back to myself.
I’ve been a little quiet here lately.
Not because nothing was happening, but because a lot was.
This past year, I spent time in mentorship. Learning, unlearning, and figuring out what the next chapter of Maine Captures should look like. Creating focus, setting goals, and giving myself permission to slow down so I could move forward with intention.
At the beginning of 2025, and honestly at the beginning of Maine Captures, I was still exploring who I am outside of motherhood. What lights me up. Where my passion lives.
And through Maine Captures, I found so much of that. I met incredible people, told meaningful stories, and was trusted with moments that truly mattered.
But 2025 was also a year of change.
Of redirection.
Of finding purpose and learning to be okay with changing course, or taking a slower pace.
I made mistakes. I fell. I stood back up. I learned again.
Doing all of this while being a mother to young children, balancing family, life, and building something that is completely my own hasn’t been easy. But it has been deeply meaningful.
Looking back on 2025, I feel incredibly grateful.
For everyone who has been part of this journey.
For those who stayed, and even for those who didn’t.
For the wisdom shared, the stories entrusted to me, and the lives I was allowed to witness and document.
I’ve learned from every single one of you.
And now, stepping into 2026, my path feels clearer than it has in a long time. I know where I want to focus. And in the coming months, that focus will become more visible here at Maine Captures.
There are changes ahead. In my work, and in my personal life. And for the first time in a long while, that feels exciting instead of scary.
Here’s to growth, to honesty, and to taking the long way when needed.
Happy New Year 🤍
May 2026 bring us all one step closer to our dreams, or at least closer to ourselves.
With love,
Maine
