After a long, hard decision, I have decided to step away from photography. I thought I was ready to step back into it after my break, but I am not and don’t think I will be for awhile.
With my work schedule, it is hard to find time to book sessions. I have put in countless hours into learning everything I know, THOUSANDS of dollars into my equipment, props and classes/courses. It’s hard when you put so much time and effort into something and you don’t see any personal growth come from it. To be honest, it doesn’t bring me joy. I have focused to much on how to have the best pictures and sessions, that it has taken the joy away from it. As I got into more of a business mindset and focused on growing it to an actual business to make money, that is when the joy started to fade and it felt more like a second job to me. I have also constantly compared myself to other AMAZING photographers in the area and it puts me in a terrible mind set and just makes me more emotionally tired. As I’m working on my mental health, I feel like this is the best decision right now for me.
You may still see some sessions from me but it will be for family and close friends only.
This may not be a forever decision but I cannot put a time frame on how long this break will last. I want to thank EVERYONE who has booked a session with me in the past, recommend me to others and have supported me from day 1!💗
I will be having another post after this to sell SOME of my props that I know I won’t ever use again so be in the look out for that.
