Sometimes, closing a chapter doesn’t mean it wasn’t beautiful. It simply means you’ve reached the end of what that chapter was meant to teach you.

I want to start this by saying thank you. Truly, thank you. Thank you for supporting me, for following along, for trusting me with some of the most meaningful moments of your lives, and for allowing me to preserve memories that can never be recreated. It has been an absolute privilege to be your photographer.

With that said, this feels incredibly bittersweet, but the time has finally come for me to let go.

I’ve been trying to force my photography career for a while, continuing to fight for something that, if I’m being completely honest with myself, just doesn’t align with who I am anymore. And that isn’t fair to you. You deserve a photographer who is completely present, who pours their heart and soul into every session, and who feels excited to create with you. For too long now, I’ve found myself dreading the work more than I enjoy it, and I know that’s my sign that it’s time to stop forcing what no longer feels right.

I’ve been in business since November of 2019, and photography has been such a meaningful part of my life for so many years. It has given me friendships, experiences, memories, and opportunities that I will forever be grateful for. Walking away from something I’ve poured so much of myself into is not easy, but I also know that holding onto something simply because I’m afraid to let it go isn’t the same thing as following where I’m meant to be.

I know I’m meant to be doing something. I just don’t know what that something is yet.

And maybe that’s okay.

So, here I am… letting go, stepping into the unknown, and taking the biggest trust fall with the universe. I’m choosing to believe that I don’t have to know exactly what comes next in order to know that something is waiting for me there.

📝 A little note for those who may be wondering:
While I am officially stepping away from photography as a business, I will absolutely honor any existing gift vouchers, and I will continue to offer occasional sessions for family and close friends. I want to make sure that those who have already invested in a session or voucher with me are taken care of, while also giving myself the space to step away from photography professionally.

Thank you for being a part of this chapter. Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your families, your milestones, and your memories. I will carry all of that with me into whatever comes next.

Here’s to closing one chapter with gratitude, and having the courage to trust that the next one will find me when it’s meant to. ✨🫶🏼

No in depth statement here. Just letting my clients know that moving forward, I will no longer be sharing your children’s photos to my public social media accounts. I know we cannot protect our children from everything, especially in today’s world. However, I will take the steps in right direction and do what I can. Your children’s privacy matters to me.

✨ And just like that… I’m officially on maternity leave! 🍼🤍 So, here’s a large photo dump of a recent proposal to snag your attention! 💍

After a pregnancy that has asked a little more of me physically than I anticipated, I’ve been encouraged to step away a bit earlier than I originally planned. So while I still have a few unfinished galleries making their way out the door (I promise, I haven’t forgotten about you!), I’m officially pressing pause on sessions for a little while.

And because apparently I enjoy making things extra sentimental… this is my LAST maternity leave EVER. 😂 Baby #3 is the grand finale, folks. No more growing humans, no more maternity leaves, no more “see you after baby!” posts. This is IT. 🥹

I’ll be back and ready to create again in February 2027, and I’m already opening my books for inquiries!

BUT… there’s a little more to this announcement. 👀

I’ve got some BIG life changes brewing behind the scenes over the next year, and while I’m not quite ready to spill all the beans yet, I will say this:

If you’ve been thinking about getting in front of my camera in 2027… don’t wait…because there’s a very real possibility that when 2028 rolls around, I may not be offering the same opportunities I am now. And if you’ve been waiting for “the right time” to book with me, this is your little nudge. 🤍

For now, I’m going to soak up these last few months of pregnancy, prepare for our newest little chaos maker, love on my babies, and hopefully get a tiny bit of sleep. 😂🥲

Thank you endlessly to everyone who has trusted me with your memories, your milestones, your engagements, your growing families, and all the little moments in between. Getting to do this for a living is something I’ll never take for granted.

Here’s to one last maternity leave, a whole lot of baby snuggles, and whatever wild chapter comes next. 🥂

2027 books are officially open. Let’s make some magic. ✨

If I have done a session for you, post your favorite photo in the comments! I think this will be fun to see. 🤗

Honest bomb 💣

I’ll be the first to admit it… I am the 👑QUEEN👑 of delayed responses. 😅

I’m in the thick of motherhood. I’m home with two little ones, growing another, and my days are beautifully chaotic. Between diapers, tantrums, meals, and trying to keep this stinkin house clean, my “office hours” don’t always look like everyone else’s.

My clients are incredibly important to me, but my first priority will always be my family, and taking care of myself so I can show up well for both.

Because of that, it might take me a few days to respond. And if I’m being completely honest… sometimes I accidentally forget altogether. Not because I don’t care, but because I’m human.

So please don’t ever hesitate to follow up! Double text. Triple text. Send the reminder. I promise you won’t offend me. My brain can’t hold everything these days, and I truly appreciate the gentle nudge.

Thank you for giving me the grace to run both a business and a family. It means more than you know. 🤍
