Photography has always been one of my passions. It is something that I fell in love with while I was in High School, and that passion has grown significantly over the years. For the past 10 years I have grown my career and business, and have increased my ability and love for photography and videography. More than anything I have loved the people that I have gotten to know along the way--amazing families and other talented professionals that I have learned so much from and have formed friendships with. I have loved learning new things from amazing workshops and photographers that have helped me improve my talent. And above all, I have loved working with my beautiful Seniors--being with them on shoots and getting to know them and their beautiful spirits. This young generation is so special to me and will always hold a unique place in my heart!
As much as photography has been such an important part of my life, during the last year I have realized that something else needs more of my attention at this time. I have been praying a lot lately, wondering what it is that God would want me to do with my time during this season of my life. I have felt strongly that I need to be more present for my family and for my faith. At first when I got that feeling I wanted to push it aside because I love photography and the people so much. Then after much prayer and scripture study I felt my Heavenly Father ask, “Are you willing to sacrifice something you love for me?” This feeling was so strong that it brought me to tears and even brings me to tears again as I write it now. And I can only respond: “Yes Lord, I would give it all up for you.”
After much back and forth, and many tears, I am moving forward with faith and will no longer be doing photography as a business or on a regular basis.. I want to be more present for my husband and children. And although I have always loved photography…... I love the Lord and my family with all my heart. I want to thank you all for your love and support, and for sharing something I love for so many years. I have always been taught that there is a time and season for everything, and now is the time for me to say goodbye.
