Happy Sunday!
I wanted to take a minute to personally acknowledge something because I know there are clients who are eagerly waiting for their galleries, and I never want anyone to feel like I’ve forgotten about them. 💗
I see your messages, I know you’re excited, and I completely understand wanting to see your photos. Please know that behind the scenes, I am working incredibly hard every single day to keep everything moving.
Right now I am photographing sessions almost daily while continuing to accommodate new bookings, and when I’m not behind my camera, I’m behind my computer editing. Wedding galleries, newborns, maternity, families, children, couples — the list goes on. Weddings especially involve hundreds and hundreds of images that are individually gone through and edited with care.
And outside of Passion Photography, I’m also a mom of two. I have a home to keep up with, my children and their needs, church obligations, appointments, everyday life… and somewhere in between all of that, I’m trying my absolute best to give every client the experience and finished gallery they deserve.
One thing that has always been important to me is keeping professional photography affordable. I offer specials and discounted sessions frequently because I genuinely want families to be able to have beautiful photographs without photography becoming something they simply can’t afford. Even when you book one of my discounted specials, I do not want the VALUE of your session to feel discounted. I’m still putting the same care into your photos, and I’m still known for delivering generous galleries with MANY images for you to keep. 📸
That does sometimes mean there is a wait — but I truly believe what you receive is worth that wait.
I will always welcome a kind message asking about the status of a gallery. I understand the excitement! But I also want to gently say that rude, demanding, or disrespectful communication is not something I am comfortable accepting. I would never speak disrespectfully to a client, and I ask for that same kindness and respect in return. There is a real person on the other side of this business who is working extremely hard to make everyone happy.
I’m one person. One photographer. One editor. One mom. And lately I have been stretching myself in every direction possible because I hate saying no and genuinely want to fit everyone in.
So if you are currently waiting for your photos, THANK YOU. Thank you for your patience, for trusting me with your memories, for booking with me again and again, for recommending me, and for supporting my little business.
Your gallery has not been forgotten.
I’m working on it. 💗
And I promise, I’m doing my very best to make it worth the wait.
