Cheers to 2026 🥂
This month always marks a big milestone for Alyssa Evelyn Photography. Four years ago I made the leap, went all in not fully knowing what the heck I was doing but I became a photographer. Boy did I learn so much over all these years, like ALOT. I have grown tremendously from the very start to now. When starting this journey I was looking for an outlet. A way to be creative. I wanted to be more than just a mom, I wanted to help support my family financially too. I never imagined AEP would grow the way it did, if you've been apart of my journey and stuck around, THANK YOU. You will never understand the amount of gratitude I have for you guys. I have always been real on this page, raw, sharing my emotions, hardships, feelings whether they were good or bad. My life has changed alot over these four years and one thing that hasn't is my mental health which wont go away. I am still learning how to cope with it til this day. As a photographer and mom you already second guess yourself all the time like, " am I good enough", " am I doing enough" but adding a mental disability to it makes it ten fold. The older my boys get the more they need me and the busier life has gotten, at least right now in this stage of our lives. My husband and I dont have parents so it truly is just him and I taking care of our little village. Alot gets put on me to do since we dont have anyone to rely on. I tried to do it all but it was taking away my time with my children and my husband. At the end of this year both of my boys start real school. After getting the hang of them being in school and seeing if it allows me to have more free time I may come back. As of right now Alyssa Evelyn Photography is staying closed for 2026 to continue working on my mental health, spending as much time with my boys & husband and hoping to sew again and be creative in that way. I do have another small business that I find to be easier to manage while being a mom. Its less demanding so I will be focusing on that as well when needed.
I look back at all your sessions, I am so dang proud of myself. Also so sad that photography isn't a huge part of my life right now but I can promise you I want to be 100 percent everytime I photograph and I can't give that right now. Your photos mean so much to me and I want you to have the best. My goal is hoping in 2027 I come back full swing. So stick around, I will always keep you guys updated. I miss you guys. If you read this far, you're the real one 🙌
