Hi friends 🤍
I’ve been quiet for a while, and I wanted to finally share why.
Late last year, I suddenly began experiencing some concerning health symptoms that quickly led to the discovery of a failing heart valve. What started as “something feeling off” became a very serious situation faster than I ever could have imagined.
My declining health forced me to slow down in ways I never have; leaving me unable to carry my daughter or attend my son's ballgames. However, It also gave me a perspective I can’t fully put into words. When you’re suddenly faced with how fragile life truly is, you begin looking at the little things differently—the way your child reaches for your hand & how precious their tiny sticky fingers are, the laughter of your children, the quiet moments, the people you love most, how beautiful the daily chaos of family actually is. I found myself thinking constantly about the memories and moments I would never want lost.
Ironically, during a season where I physically couldn’t pick up my camera, I think I understood the purpose behind photography more deeply than ever before.
This experience reminded me that photographs are so much more than “pretty pictures.” They are proof of love. Proof of connection. Tiny pieces of our story that outlive seasons, hardships, and even us someday.
I’m incredibly grateful to share that I’ve been given another chance at life and healing, and I don’t want to take that for granted. I want to run with it wholeheartedly — both in life and through photography. I’m returning with a renewed perspective and deeper purpose than ever before, focusing not on perfection, but on preserving the moments that truly matter.
And with that… I’m so excited to say I’ll be returning to photography and reopening my calendar 🤍 I also have some exciting new things planned that I can’t wait to share with you all soon.
If you've made it this far, Thank you for your patience, your support, and for being here through this season. Truly. I cannot wait to start documenting your stories again.
