(Jump to last paragraph if you want to skip my long windedness šš)
A few years ago, I separated my business page from my personal. Initially I did so in order to have someone post to Bliss on behalf of my business. Iām notoriously bad at keeping up with posts and it was very nice to have the always reliable Elyse Barker say beautiful things about my work.
There was a second part of that separation that I really appreciated at the time, and that was the ability to share my personal life without it prompting a flurry of follow up texts and messages asking about the readiness of a gallery.
It turns out even photographers are striving to have a healthy work/life balance.
So here it isā¦Octoberā¦undoubtedly the busiest month of the year for any Midwest photographer. My work life balance is currently one based on the necessity of survival and making sure Iām honoring my customers and still SEEING, feeding, and caring for my kids.
This whole Ted talk is to say, while I usually return galleries within two weeks, during the months of September-November, keep in mind that return times will be closer to my contractural obligation of 4-6 weeks. Most likely only 4, but for larger sessions (seniors and newbornsāexcepting Bliss Babies) these can stretch to the full 6 weeks.
I work every chance I can and I promise getting galleries out is my top priority. I genuinely canāt wait for families to see their portraits!
Editing queue as always in my stories. Much love š«¶ and what do you think, should I re-marry my personal and professional pages? I want your honest feedback.
