After 8 beautiful years of love, vows, flowers, and being welcomed in by incredible families...
I'm taking a big step back from wedding photography.
I'll still be joyfully photographing all of my current commitments, but I'm no longer accepting weddings.
The people I've already told ask me if I'm leaving the wedding industry because it's hard, or stressful, or exhausting.
It's not. Not to me.
Being a wedding photographer has been one of the most beautiful, joyful, and gratifying jobs I've ever had. I love weddings. I've loved every single one of my couples and almost every vendor I've worked with. I've loved every challenge, every rainstorm, every unexpected hiccup. I've cried happy tears with people I've technically only met once or twice. I've been allowed into intimate, privileged spaces. I've been part of quiet, sacred moments.
But as much as I love being that person, that person doesn't have to be me. My kids though? They only have one mom, and now they're only available during evenings and weekends - exactly when my clients need me.
I need more "normal" hours if I want to see my kids.
And truthfully, even though it started that way, I'm now busier with Sparkchaser Studio () than I know what to do with. I would be honored if you followed me over there where I'll be active - you know I'm following you back! ❤️
There are a few people who I will never be able to thank enough for this incredible season of my life:
, , , and who all took their turn being my go to second photographer.
and , who brought me to my first few weddings as a second photographer when I had nothing to show.
, who continues to be my go to brand photography buddy.
who has sent me more beautiful inquiries than any other non-photography vendor.
Every single one of my 100+ couples who trusted me with their day.
Every amazing vendor who I've had the privilege of working with.
And so many others who should be on this list.
❤️❤️❤️
