Hi friends! I am scaling down on photo sessions and weddings ‼️ That’s all you really need to know, but if you want to know the reason, here it is ⬇️
Not only am I a photographer, but also a mom, wife, and employee at an organization that I love and want to have energy for as well. The past couple years, I’ve realized that when I am super stressed out, I get extremely sick. Last year and this year I have been sick FREQUENTLY. It’s not just a little cold, it’s my body forcing me to rest.
Being a photographer might not seem like a difficult job for some people, but many photographers I know have stopped doing weddings because of how stressful and time consuming it can be. I was on the cusp of that a two years ago… but honestly I just love weddings too much to completely stop. 😅 It’s not just pushing a button for 6-12 hours. It’s also carrying all your gear around while on your feet for that amount of time. It’s maintaining the mental focus and creativity to capture important moments all around you. It’s staring at a computer to edit for hours and hours a day, everyday. It’s doing your own marketing, social media, posting, scheduling, admin, and business finances by yourself. All while sometimes missing huge events like friend’s and families weddings, birthday celebrations, and so much more because we book out a year in advance.
I love this profession and understand that there are harder jobs. But one of the coolest things about being a photographer, is that I am my own boss. And I’m choosing to be a boss that prioritizes mental and physical health.
I am so grateful for every client and all the business I get. Having people choose me to capture their happiest moments will always be the biggest honor. Please know that if I say no to your inquiry, it’s not because I want to, it’s because I need to. Thank you all for understanding ❤️
