Hey everyone ππΌ I hope you all are having a fantastic holiday season π
Things have been pretty quiet on my end, I apologize for that if you've sent a message that's gone unanswered.
On October 15th of this year, I lost one of the biggest lights of my life - my horse, Tails, who I have shared with so many of you. Tails was THE horse for photos. He has been in your Christmas photos, senior photos, maternity, birthday and just for fun photos. He was the best sorrel unicorn I could have ever asked for. My whole world came to a screeching halt when I lost him. I'm so glad to have made the memories for you all with him and I hope you treasure your photos just as much as I do. Thank you to everyone for making the years he was with me the best he's ever had. He went to heaven knowing exactly how much he was loved and cherished despite coming from a very, very bad place prior to me.
If that wasnt enough, exactly one month later on November 15th I lost one of my closest family members, my aunt, to a glioblastoma that was just diagnosed in September. She required around the clock care which was done in my home so I could take care of her after working my already full time job. My aunt was one of my biggest supporters, biggest cheerleaders, probably wins the award for most fb shares and would tell anyone she could that her niece did the best photos and to get in touch with me for anything they need. She was the absolute sweetest lady who would do anything for anyone and many of you likely met her if you came to our last 2 barn Christmas events. She was behind the scenes doing as much as she could for everyone.
So, please excuse the silence as I am grieving 2 unimaginable losses this year, this holiday season. My heart is beyond broken and although I am doing my best to move forward it's proving to be more difficult than anything I have ever been through. I've had a whole side of broken ribs but managed a family photoshoot in 20 degree weather with a 30 min car ride to get there and a whole weekend Christmas event after a horse threw me off and stepped on my back while I was on the ground but this pain far surpasses anything physical I have ever been through.
I hope to get back to shooting in the New Year but for now I need to work on my own healing before I can be my best self to capture your memories. π
