ANNOUNCEMENT:
Over the past 13 or so years, I have had the pleasure of witnessing so many beautiful moments through this work. Moments that I never imagined I would be able to partake in. The combining of families, milestones, graduations, families growing, I’ve met so many fabulous people, many whom I would consider friends now, and weddings quickly became the way I helped support my family as they have grown throughout the years. I honestly can’t imagine my life without weddings, I don’t even know what that looks like. It’s been the way I fed my family, helped pay bills, bought gas to allow my kids to play sports, and so much more…
God has taken my family on some crazy path changes, and we are doing our best to follow Him and keep up, but ministry isn’t one we saw coming. My husband made the career change about 10 years ago, where He temporarily filled in as administrator of a small Christian School and at first it was a small task but it has been increasingly more time consuming and requires more time and effort as the school and ministry has grown. For the past few years, I have been struggling to know what the right thing to do is, as I’ve been stretched thin and struggled to keep up.
For the past few years, I have sensed God was taking me in a different direction, a direction I still wasn’t sure of. What I did know is that that I’m not able to do anything as well as I would like, going in too many different directions at once, always leaving things undone or on a list a mile long… but it’s hard to trust God will provide and take away a main source of income. I’ve met so many amazing people and for the last decade and more of my life it was so intertwined, I can’t imagine my life without it.
The world is rapidly changing, and God is rapidly changing me, just as fast or faster. Jesus has healed many things in my heart and my life, and I couldn’t imagine the difference that would make. Allowing God’s love to really pour into me and heal the hurts and wounds I carried around has just given me a deeper desire to follow Him, to pour my life into other’s lives, to work in this beautiful community God is growing, and to do my best to follow God in this new direction He is taking me and our family.
I’m not completely going away, at least not as of now. I’ll still be around taking engagement sessions, family sessions, senior sessions and the like as my schedule allows, so please feel free to message me for those! I have half a dozen weddings or so on my calendar for this year and next that I will be around for, and I’m not exactly sure the next steps or what happens now because we still have bills to pay and life isn’t getting any less expensive so I’m a little nervous but I’m just doing my best to follow the path God has for my life. I know many of you are going to think I’m a little crazy, but God has promised to provide as we seek Him so I’m doing my best to follow in that way. He has led me to a new thing through Revelation Wellness that will be starting this Fall so maybe keep your eye open for that too if you like group movement activities!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with Your most precious and beautiful moments, and I can’t wait to see what else God unfolds, but make sure you still think of me for those smaller moments like yearly photos and portraits!!
For now I’m stepping away from taking on any new weddings unless God tells me to go back in that direction. Who knows, maybe you’ll still see me capturing a wedding here or there too, but we will see as time goes on!
So much love to you all, and so much gratitude for all the moments I’ve been able to be there for! What a gift!
