‼️LONG POST AHEAD‼️
Hi everyone! Just wanted to come on here and give an update and be vulnerable for a bit.
This busy season has been a bit hard. Hard as in terms of trying to stay committed to this while having a difficult high-risk pregnancy. As many of you know, I’ve experienced complications early on in my pregnancy around 23 weeks. It hasn’t gotten easier but it has gotten better, in a way. I’m still constantly in and out of the hospital every week with checkups and then having to care for my other child on top of that has made it difficult, especially when you’re supposed to be on bed rest. I’ve been trying to continue and do my scheduled shoots as needed and haven’t been taking any new ones but there has been days where I had to cancel sessions and refund my clients due to unexpected hospitalization, or my child not feeling well, etc. I definitely have not been at my 100% this ending half of the year. It honestly bums me out because most of it is out of my control and I’m always trying to give my best for photography since it is my creative outlet but, I am grateful for my clients who understand and remember that I am human too. I constantly have to remind myself that it’s okay to have difficult times and that they will always pass through.
I am nearing the end of my pregnancy as I am now 3 weeks away from 32 weeks, which was the goal my care team was trying to reach in order to delivery our baby girl safely. It’s always on my mind that I wish I could go full term but remember that sometimes things just don’t go the way it should and that it’s okay to be open minded and remember that the NICU team is amazing and will give their 100% to make sure she is cared. 🤍
I am hoping that after all this is over, I can come back and continue to be a better small business owner and photographer for my clients who didn’t get the best version of me this year due to all the complications that have come up. I promise to come back and be my best once everything is over with because that is what you guys deserve. 🤍
If you took the time to read this, thank you. I appreciate you guys so much and know that I’m ready to come back with a bang! 😊 in the mean, please enjoy these sweet photos my best friend took for me on my camera to remind myself that pregnancy is a beautiful thing that women are capable of doing 😌🩷
