Good afternoon!
I'm currently making updates to my business to better serve myself which will better serve my clients. If you've been following me for a while, it's not news that I had a severe injury to my back in 2023. Although I have made great improvements with my injury/health, I have not completely healed and probably never will. I am still figuring out how to navigate this new realty of mine, while not giving up on my photography completely. I have and will always LOVE this job and will continue to keep this business up and running in some way. If you don't know I had to get surgery to my spine on my upper back, and an injury to my spinal cord.
I have been pushing myself way too hard these past couple months, and it worsen my pain and symptoms, which makes me fall behind with... everything. With all that being said, I have to limit myself on what and how much I'm booking. I absolutely can not book weddings anymore, not even short ones. I can't stand up for long periods of time, and I have a hard time holding my camera longer than an hour or so. I will no longer be offering studio sessions or any set up that is too hard for me. I will be limiting myself to 5 sessions a month max! I will be open to new location ideas, but will be denying any area I feel will be to hard for me to walk or drive. For example I will not be offering session at Mt. Lemmon due to the drive, it makes me super sick, and Windy Point scares me due to my balance not being great.
I understand these restrictions may not fit your vision for a session, and that's ok! I am currently making a list of referrals for clients that will have amazing photographers on it! I'm also happy to post in my photography group your specific needs/dates/locations to help you find the perfect photographer. I am always happy to help even if I'm not the best fit for you.
Please be patient with me while I catch up on albums after being sick, and start making these updates to my website & socials.
I am always soooo thankful for my clients who love my work, and understand my limitations. I'm not here to gain followers, be popular on social media, or look like I have the best thriving business. I'm here to use the gift God gave me, to see the beauty in everyone and show love and kindness to you all.
Thank you so much. I love you!
