Hiiiiiiiiiii everyoneeeeeeeee 👋👋👋

I just wanted to share a little bit of what’s been going on in my life lately, I know I’ve been hard to reach and a bit absent on this page.

The month of September was a hard month for me and my family. I lost both an uncle and my mom within a week of each other. My mom had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and was put on hospice in August. With her being on hospice, I knew I was going to eventually lose her but we didn’t expect to lose her as fast as we did. She tested positive for covid a couple of days before she passed. I truly believe covid is what escalated her condition and caused her to decline faster. Thankfully I was by her side holding her hand when she passed. It was one of the hardest moments of my life. I work in EMS and I’ve seen horrible things, but this was one of the worst days for me. I am forever grateful to have been by her side though, I will always cherish those last moments with her. I will never forget her looking up at me and saying “my beautiful baby girl” 🥺🥺🥺

Losing not only my mom but an uncle I loved dearly sent me off the grid for a while. It was very hard to even get out of bed. Grief comes in waves. Some moments are easier and some moments are unbearable. I needed to step away from work to focus on just moving forward with life. I do apologize for being out of reach, that’s never a goal of mine. To be honest, some days I was just trying to get off the couch.

I am also still in school for my advanced EMT. I will be finished end of November/beginning of December if all goes as planned. Balancing everything has been tough, I’m not going to lie.

I am slowly getting my feet back on the ground and trying to respond to people I’ve left hanging throughout this time.

Please be patient with me. If you’re interested in scheduling a session, please reach out. My website is down, I had been working on a remodel but with everything that happened that got put on the back burner. So just send me a message on here and I’ll get back with you when I can!

I truly do love this job.
I truly do love my clients.

I look forward to working with you all and providing beautiful memories for you to keep. You truly don’t realize how meaningful photographs are until it’s all you have left 🖤

Family Sessions are the BEST. ✨

I'm not going to lie.... this session pushed me out of my comfort zone just a little. I'm so used to fields and so when Amy mentioned downtown Union City I was like uhhhh okkkkk sure...... But now I'm like YESSS!!! I love the magic and memories we made! 🙂

Show this family some love 💛

Just wanted to “hop on here” (I think it’s so funny when people say that😂😂) and post a reminder…..

I am ✨STILL IN BUSINESS✨ and ✨WORKING✨🤩😅🤘📷

I know I’ve heard a lot of rumors lately that I’m not doing photography anymore and I have people say to me often “I didn’t think you were taking pictures anymore” wellllllll I am 🙂

I want to reassure everyone that HLP is still going strong! I am going back to school in the fall-continuing my education with AEMT school-but I am still doing photography as well! 🤎

👉If I’m being honest, my main goal is to continue photography because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to…. If that makes sense. Business owners will understand what I mean here. For years I’ve had photography be my main source of income for my family, so I’ve felt pressure to work work work. Doing that drains my creativity and heart. By working in EMS (also something I love) I can keep doing photography just because it brings me •JOY• and that is the goal. Yes I still have to charge for sessions but it won’t be my main source of income. That may seem like overshare but I want to be honest with my clients.

👉I may be booking less in the future due to my busy schedule and also I want to be present with my children, but I will still be working when I have the extra time to dedicate to photography📷

Don’t let the shift in my career scare you away-I am still just as dedicated to my work as I always have been. I always give %100 to my clients and that won’t ever change 💕

We never stop learning and growing in life and I’m always excited for what’s to come. I look forward to serving my community and wherever the Lord takes me in any way I can 🖤
