Just a little vulnerability post for a minute. ❤️
I know I'm not always the fastest at responding, and I wanted to take a second to explain why.
Right now, I'm in one of the busiest seasons of life I've ever been in. We're moving, trying to finish our new house, I’m managing a studio with renters, photography busy season is kicking off, and I'm still a full-time stay-at-home mom to my two girls.
Please know that if you message me and don't hear back right away, I am not ignoring you. I am not avoiding your message, and I absolutely want to work with you. Life has just been a little overwhelming lately.
Between Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, texts, emails, and everything in between, I have hundreds of messages waiting for responses. If I spent all day answering every notification the moment it came in, I would never put my phone down. Sometimes I have to step away and remind myself to be present with my girls, enjoy these moments, and take care of myself too.
Most nights I'm editing until 2 AM, waking up with babies throughout the night, and then starting all over again at 6:30 the next morning. It's exhausting, but it's also such a blessing, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
So if you don't hear from me within 24 hours, please send me another message. Sometimes things get buried, and I genuinely appreciate the reminder.
Thank you for always supporting my small dream that somehow turned into something so much bigger than I ever imagined. Thank you for giving me grace, for trusting me with your memories, and for allowing me to do what I love every single day.
I appreciate every one of you more than you'll ever know. ❤️
Xoxo,
Shayna
