You know what I love about ?

Paired with my commute to work, my laying with the girls until they fall asleep, and my “getting ready routine” in the mornings, I can continue to “read” books while going through a rigorous master’s program.

I love to read. I love to live in fictional stories and know fictional characters. It’s my form of self care & I’m so grateful to be able to continue to read while having nearly zero time to read 😅

What’s your form of self-care? Does it exist for you?

Quick check in with all the mamas navigating life with littles at home.

It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure!

How are you navigating summer break so far? Any fun ideas to share? Amazon links for some rainy day fun? Any local events coming up? Share all the things!

We’re surviving our new normal over here (I hope) but there’s definitely lots of mom guilt sprinkled in when I have to break away from family time to study 😖 hopefully I’m suffering the most in those situations and they end up well adjusted despite the business of this season.

Currently contemplating if I should open up some minis in August when I have a short break. Stay tuned on that 🙃

I did a thing yesterday…. Want to know what it was?

I delivered my last gallery 🥺
Truly a bittersweet moment!!

Being able to flex the creative side of my brain while building something for myself and giving to others has been such a dream & a huge part of my life these last few years. I can truly say that I poured so much of myself into this little “side hustle,” and that I will miss it.

The scientific/nerdy side of my brain craves more.

So that’s the dream I’m chasing for now. I’m following the call to know more, do more, be better, and do better 🤍

I have lots of images to share still (this one’s from one of my motherhood short sessions- hi sweet friend 🤍), so I will still be around & definitely on my stories.

I hope you will all still root me on the way you have been, & if you haven’t already… please subscribe on my website so you’re the first to know of any openings for minis while I’m on break at school!!

Here I go!!!! 📚👩🏼‍⚕️

hey friends!!

If you’ve been around for a bit you may know that I talked about taking a step back from the photography world, & I promised an explanation. As spring inquiries come rolling in, I figured now was as good a time as any to share some details of my life with you…
So here it is 🙃

After MUCH consideration, and LOTS of time to consider backing out, I have decided to pursue a Master’s degree in nursing- Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner to be specific.

My motives are simple; I want to give more to women. I want more out of the connections I’m making with them, and I want to see healthcare for women go in a very specific direction. If I can be even just a tiny part of that, I’m here for it.

If only life was that black and white though, right?

This past summer was when I felt a strong calling to advance my degree. I had several encounters in healthcare (personally and professionally), over several years, that I just didn’t agree with. I was frustrated, and motivated. I decided I would apply for the summer 2022 term and go from there. I was accepted in October (see lots of time to back out 😅) & had about two weeks to make it official. I knew what I wanted, but I also knew it wouldn’t come without immense sacrifice and change (I hate change).

I have a business I worked hard to build, a job that I love, and most importantly a young family to take care of. I had a lot to think about, and while I could have chosen to use any one of those reasons as an excuse to quiet the fire inside me, I chose not to. Not a day goes by where I don’t question whether or not I’m doing the right thing at the right time, but at the end of each day I come back to the same voice in my head telling me I need this, and that the rest will be okay.

What that means for RFP is unclear to me at this time. I’ve been selectively taking clients for the past 6 months to give myself space to prepare for what the next few years of my life will be. I would love for your continued support and for you to remain in this corner of the internet with me as I adapt.
As of now, we’re still an operating business, things will just look a little different 🤍

Coming out of my winter hibernation to show ya’ll my sweet friend and her growing family!
🤍
so much love for them!!

When Jess reached out, I broke the news to her (and I guess to you guys now) that I likely wouldn’t be taking any clients in 2022. She was super understanding and supportive and gave me time to mull it over.
At the end of the day, I couldn’t bare to let this one pass me by & so here we are!
I’m SO happy I got to do this and it has made me question why I’d ever take a break in the first place 😅
More on that in a hot little sec, bc first— soak in the sweetness of these people!! I mean, come on!!! It truly brings me so much joy to deliver these tiny moments & to do so as each family grows and evolves over time. Just ugh… I’m so lucky.

Promise, I’ll share deets about the little bombshell I dropped in a few— it deserves its own post.

It’s cuddle weather in So Flo 🤩

What are your plans today?!

Hey friends! I’ve been playing catch up lately- which means no time on the ‘gram because insta minutes aren’t like regular minutes…
But I am climbing out of an editing hole to spill the tea and say the things (probably) every photographer right now is thinking.

Anyway, if you haven’t noticed, I have been increasingly more intentional with my time this year. I cut back more than HALF of my session load in 2021 (and still profited the same amount of money as last year- thanks to those who support a living wage and see the value in the art that is made here-love you guys).

It turns out, boundaries are only as difficult as you make them out to be. Once you start respecting the energy and time you put into something, the rest just kind of falls into place. The right people will hold on tight and be there for you.

I’m sure you see the posts… the ones where people crowd source social media for a photographer that “doesn’t cost an arm and a leg,” or the ones where they’re just “looking for a couple photos, nothing fancy.” First of all, nobody wants your limbs- they just want to pay their bills and put food on their table. Secondly, if you want a couple photos and you aren’t picky about the quality…have you seen the capabilities of smartphone cameras these days? Just phone a friend and call it a day… pun intended.

The thing is, there is a price point for everyone and it’s all about what you value. For instance, I don’t buy designer bags but I will pay 50+ dollars on a handmade/heirloom outfit for my child. The difference is that I am supporting someone directly. The money I spend is going to the man/woman who made it, not a gigantic corporation where the people making the product get literal pennies and the CEOs live big. I am seeing the value in the art, honoring the time and cost to produce, market, and distribute the item.
