đź“Ł PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MY CLIENTS
Hi everyone — I want to take a moment to speak openly, honestly, and transparently to all of my clients who are waiting on galleries.
Over the last several months, I have fallen behind in a way I never intended. My communication hasn’t been what it should be, not because I don’t care, but because I care so much that I’ve struggled to update anyone without having a concrete answer. I’ve always been a people-pleaser, and when I don’t have the perfect update, I tend to freeze rather than disappoint. I know this has caused frustration and worry, and for that, I am truly sorry.
WHATS BEEN HAPPENING-
Along with running my entire business on my own, I’m also a mom of five — juggling kids’ sports, school needs, doctor and therapy appointments, and all the moving pieces of raising a big family. On top of that, I have been handling moving my grandmother to a new home entirely on my own. Life has been overwhelming in every direction.
All while working through:
• 27 weddings
• 17 regular sessions
• 50 mini sessions
• 5 events
THE MOST IMPORTANT REASSURANCE-
No one’s photos have been lost.
Everything is safely stored, backed up, and accounted for. Every gallery is in progress. I am working sun-up to sun-down (and through most nights) to get everything completed as quickly and carefully as possible.
WHY I DONT HAVE FIRM DELIVERY DATES YET-
With the volume of work and the unpredictability of my home life, giving specific delivery dates right now would be setting false expectations. Instead, I want to be honest: I am working through galleries in order, every single day, and your photos will be delivered.
Constant daily check-ins — though completely understandable — do slow the editing process down, so I kindly ask for patience as I move through the queue.
WHY I NEED TO OPEN MY 2026 BOOKINGS-
Since July, I have intentionally stopped advertising and taking on new work so I could focus completely on editing. Because of that, I have not been bringing in income from new bookings for several months. During this time, our family has been relying solely on my husband’s income, which has made things financially very tight.
Opening booking for 2026 is necessary for me to support my family and keep my business running. Taking future bookings does not delay current galleries — it simply allows income to come in while I finish the work already in progress.
IF YOUD LIKE TO SUPPORT MY BUSINESS RIGHT NOW-
Some of you have asked how you can support me during this season, and honestly, the most helpful way right now is allowing me to start booking my 2026 weddings and sessions.
If you already know you want me for your 2026 wedding or a future session, booking now truly makes a huge difference for my family and helps keep my business stable while I continue editing.
There is absolutely no pressure — but if you’ve been planning to hire me in the future, today is the best time to reserve your spot.
THANK YOU-
I know delays are frustrating. I know these photos are deeply meaningful. I appreciate every single one of you who has given me grace during an incredibly demanding season of life. My goal is — and always has been — to deliver beautiful, meaningful galleries that reflect the care you invested in me. That has not changed.
If you have an urgent matter (not a delivery estimate), please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while I work tirelessly to complete each gallery.
With sincerity,
Natasha
