It's been a very long while since anything has been posted. Perhaps one of the blessings that has come out of a long silence is the clarity needed to refocus the priorities of this business and life.
Earlier this year Erika Anne Photography posted about her beginning her own wedding photography journey. Those of you who have followed, been photographed, or in anyway part of our past wedding photography services know Erika is my right hand woman for all my weddings. This is a very excited and welcomed change in both our worlds. My daughter is getting busier, my time is harder to commit and my weekends are more important than I ever could have imagined.
With my business taking a huge step down from weddings, I come to say we are not leaving, we are shifting focus back to portraits. I am shifting my priorities where I know I can fulfill commitments in my life and my business.
I have been beyond blessed with amazing clients. I can not tell you enough how absolutely phenomenal my brides and grooms have been through the years. I am looking forward to our re-brand and our future. I'm excited to support Erika Anne Photography as her second shooter when I can.
I am even more excited to support such an amazing woman as she supports me. When I braved the wedding world I told her there would be a day I needed to switch our roles. That time has come sooner than I imagined but it's more important than ever. Having such a wonderful human stand by my side through this all has shown me the importance of building each other up and never walking away from opportunities you may have least expected.
I am back after a long and quiet hiatus. I can not wait to work with past , present, and future clients for portrait sessions. I am grateful for all of you who despite my trying to stay quiet, still sought me out and kept me photographing even. Some things are just to hard to walk away from.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for supporting us. Thank you for understanding that our priorities need to change. Thank you even more for being such a huge part of our growth as we navigate what we need and want as creatives.
If you have yet to have a long hard talk with yourself in the mirror, ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's while sobbing in the dark, and sat in your pjs for multiple days wondering what the heck do I do with myself, I suggest you give yourself that grace. Life is HARD, choices are HARD, accepting you can find clarity in all this chaos - you guessed it - HARD. I promise you though, it's so freeing to be okay with change
