Hey, yal 👋
If you’re new around here, or even if you’ve been holding down this space with me for a while, I wanted to strip back the "photographer" title for a second and just talk heart to heart.
To be completely transparent with you... I sit here most days and I still cannot fathom that this is my actual job. It’s officially been a year in business. And yes, I’ve poured my absolute soul into this. I've upgraded my gear, spent the sleepless hours, and pushed my creativity to the limits. But looking back, I can see so clearly that none of this was manufactured by me. It has entirely been a story of how God provides.
In a world that constantly screams at you to hustle harder, scale faster, and chase the next big milestone, I’ve always made a conscious choice to step out of that race. I don’t force opportunities. I don’t hustle for doors to open. I am literally just allowing myself to trust the process and walk through what is meant for me.
Do I have big vision? Of course. Do I wish I could financially invest a million times more into this business right now? Yes, absolutely. But I’m also so beautifully okay with waiting. I am entirely at peace with letting God do His thing, in His perfect timing, without me trying to rush the growth.
Every single soul who steps in front of my lens isn't just a booking to me. I am so overwhelmingly grateful for the exact people sent my way. You are answers to prayers, and getting to document your real, raw, unscripted moments is a gift I will never take for granted!
So if you're here for the pretty frames, thank you. And if you're here for the heartbeat behind them, welcome to the family. I am so incredibly glad you're here.
Drop a 🤍 in the comments if you’re trusting the timing of your own journey right now, I’d love to know who is walking this path with me.
All my love, Zan xx
