It’s High School Graduation Week!!!

Congrats to all of the graduates! You finally made it šŸ™ŒšŸ» Those last few weeks of school always drag, but ESPECIALLY as a senior. But YOU DID IT! And now it’s time to walk that aisle, grab your diploma, and make your Mamas proud!

But I also want to take a moment to say this… Right now you’re stoked about your future. You know what career you want to pursue. Maybe you’re dreaming of meeting that special someone in college. The future looks bright. And it is!

But IF, in 10 years, your timeline for your future doesn’t quite match what you thought it would be on graduation day. If you’re at the end of your twenties with a degree, but not working the job your degree qualified you for. Or you’re single and pretty sure you haven’t met the person you want to spend the rest of your life with . Or maybe you decided not to go to college, you’re working retail, and you’re barely scraping by financially… Please know this: You’re Not Falling Behind.

You don’t have to have it all figured out by the end of your 20s (I’m turning 30 this year and while I’ve learned and changed a lot since my graduation day, I PROMISE I don’t have it all figured out). You can change your major in college. You can meet the person of your dreams when you’re in your 40s. Financial security can come and go. Your circumstances will always be changing. At the end of the day, what matters is this: that you are loved, always, by God. He cares for you no matter what. No accomplishment will make Him love you more and no failure will make Him love you less. So love Him back, love others, and you’ll be right where you need to be.

ā€œAnd he said to him, ā€œYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.ā€
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Getting to photograph families through the different stages of their lives is such a privilege! ā¤ļø Flip through the pics to go back in time about 5 years to the first time I got to photograph Paris and Mason. Their engagement photos were one of my favorite shoots! They were the kindest couple and were absolutely giddy in love and it was darling. Fast forward to this weekend and we had the opportunity to shoot in the same location but this time with their beautiful daughter in tow ā¤ļø Their love is still evident and playful just as it was 5 years ago, but also seasoned and stronger now. If I haven’t retired by the time I’m 80, you better believe I’ll be on Paris and Mason’s front porch photographing them holding hands in their matching rocking chairs 🄰

Okaaaaay this maternity shoot was šŸ”„ I MEAN how cute are Bradley and Nikayla?! 100% sure I’ll be posting more of these once I’ve finished the full gallery, but for now, here’s a couple sneak peeks of this sweet, stunning hilltop maternity session šŸ’•

I’ve known Hailey since she was… probably a pr***en! I still remember her talking back then about how much she was looking forward to being a mother one day. At the time I didn’t really understand having a desire for motherhood at such a young age; there was still so much for her to experience, so much life to live. I clearly didn’t know that she was destined to be a young mom; to live all of that life WITH her baby and husband šŸ’ž

I think our culture gets this wrong often, that children take you away from your ā€œreal lifeā€. That your life ends when your become a parent. But that’s just not true. Sure you lose a lot of freedom. But children aren’t a barrier to your real life, they ARE your real life. I was just saying to my son last week that my husband and I would have WAY less fun if we didn’t have he and my daughter in our lives. We CERTAINLY wouldn’t laugh as much.

Children will challenge you on the daily. But they’ll also make your heart swell with pride, they’ll humble you, they’ll make you more creative, make you laugh so hard you cry, and ultimately make you a better person. They’re a GIFT.

Getting to meet Hailey’s sweet baby girl and witness the evident adoration & fierce love she and Andres have for both each other and their daughter was also, truly, a gift. As a family photographer I am so blessed to be able to take part in preserving memories for my clients. I hope, when Hailey’s daughter is about to graduate high school, she looks back on these photos and remembers exactly how this season of life felt. I hope she feels that adoration and fierce love and how awesome it truly was the step into her first ever season of motherhood.

Here’s to the MAMAS

🌼 That work full time to provide stability for your children. That come home exhausted from their career but still smile and play with their babies. That are too familiar with the steady hum of mom guilt in the back of their minds

🌼 That stay home full time. That aren’t even sure why they clean the house when toys will be strewn every which way within an hour anyway. That are overstimulated to the point of bursting but still stop to take slow, deep breaths that steady their themselves and their children.

🌼 That SHOW UP no matter what. Daily. Pouring all that you have and all that you don’t have (thank you Jesus for providing strength in times of need) into your tiny humans.

Motherhood is a gift. It is a calling. It is an endless effort that reaps eternal rewards.

I see you Mama. Jesus sees you. I hope your man sees you! (But we will give him a but if grace if he didn’t today, he’s tired too šŸ˜‚)

And now I ask, what’s your FAVORITE thing about being a mom? What’s the most challenging thing? Let’s chat in the comments!

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT

As I listen to my son crying in the background as my husband and I are on almost hour 3 of trying to get him to sleep (he’s absolutely exhausted), I finally have the resolve to do this.

Please understand that I have been WRESTLING with this decision for MONTHS. So much of me doesn’t want to give GingerSnap Photography up. But there are only 24 hours in a day. I have a day job. This business. A baby. A husband. A home. There is SO MUCH that regularly demands my attention & so little of me left. It isn’t fair to me or to you to continue in this business.

To the few of you left that are still on my calendar, I will ABSOLUTELY be fulfilling my duty to you guys. And I will do so to the absolute best of my ability ā¤ļø I’m not here to leave anyone hanging. But I am here to say I’m done.

I’m done being worked to death.

I’m done being overstimulated.

I’m done being constantly distracted.

Most of all, I’m done primarily holding on to this business because I’m afraid of what letting go will do to us financially. A friend recently said that she stopped her side hustle in part because she started seeing people as opportunities and man, that’s starting to get relatable.

Anyway… hopefully this won’t be a forever thing. But if it is, I’ll make peace with that in time. For now, Im trying to trust God with what He’s calling me to do NOW. And this is it.

My website will be down early next month. My Insta will become my personal Insta, and my Facebook will go silent for now. Ideally, I’ll be taking a LONG pause for social media as well. But that’s another story.

Thanks for your support, friends. It’s been a real ride. I’m truly great full for you all.

Much love,

Alyssa Staneart
