A PERSONAL BUSINESS UPDATE 💛
If you’ve been here a while, you know I’ve always shared my life just as much as my work. I’ve built this business on transparency and trust — and today, I want to show up for you with that same honesty.
The past year has brought profound change. Becoming a mom has been the most beautiful and transformative experience, but also one that has reshaped every part of my life. As I’ve navigated this new role, I’ve been the full-time care for my son, which has brought deep joy but also immense responsibility.
On top of that, my family has been walking through some incredibly heavy times: a few months ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Stepping into a larger role to support both him and my mom has been saddening, hard, and as the only in state sibling all-consuming in ways I didn’t expect.
In the midst of it all, I’ve also been battling depression… quietly, and honestly, with a lot more difficulty than I’ve let on. It’s a hard thing to say out loud, but it’s the truth. And through this I’ve realized that taking care of my mental health can’t come last anymore. And i just cant do it all. My mental heath health has to come first — for my family, my clients, and myself.
This decision was not an easy one. It’s actually been one of the most difficult and terrifying choices I’ve had to make as a business owner. Walking away even temporarily from something I’ve poured so much of my life into is scary. But I also know that stepping back is the most honest and necessary choice I can make in this season of life.
So after a lot and I mean a lot of consideration, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to step away from photography — all of it — until further notice.
That said, *** this does not affect any of my currently booked clients *** — your weddings and sessions are still happening, and I remain fully committed to showing up for you with everything I have.
In fact, that’s part of why I’m pressing pause now: so I can pour into those existing commitments with the presence, attention, and care you deserve, without stretching myself beyond what’s healthy.
This is not goodbye. It’s what I hope will be a see you soon. I still love what I do. I still believe in the magic of storytelling and connection. But for now, I’m giving myself the permission to pause. To rest. To be present with my family. And to take the time I need to heal and reconnect with myself.
To every single client, friend, and supporter who has trusted me with your memories — thank you from the bottom of my heart!! You’ve helped build something beautiful over the last 14 years, and I carry that with me into whatever comes next.
With all my love and 1000x more gratitude,
Stay Golden my loves ☀️,
Lindsay
