Two things to talk about this morning.
One~ As many of you might be aware, I don't share a lot on here anymore. Social media (facebook/instagram) has never been a friend of mine, I'm just not much of a public person, and I feel a little hypocritical sharing my clients images when I don't share a lot of my own. Having said that, I am going to be using my blog a lot more in the coming months, because it just makes more sense to me, it's mine, it doesn't depend on an algorithm, and it can't be yanked out from underneath me overnight.
Two ~ (and this one is REALLY tough for me to write)
It's time to share the news. After nearly 20 years of leasing a full time studio, I have decided to give it up. I am NOT shutting down my business, I still LOVE to pick up my camera for the people who's story truly moves me. As many of you know, and for those who don't, for the last 2 ish years I had been sharing my studio space with Jen from Just Breathe Healing & Fitness. It's been a beautiful collaboration. The energy inside the space was/is always beautiful. Having a steady flow of good vibes was exactly what I and my business needed. I handled it well because of my low volume business model.
Until I didn't. I became complacent in my marketing efforts. I lost sight of why I even opened my studio in the first place. Meanwhile, I was pushing down a feeling that kept coming to the surface. I was just done with full time studio ownership. And I can't deny the feeling that was always surrounding me, I need "something else" to fill my cup. I have always had a love for helping people. So I'm not sure where this leaves me but sometimes uncertainty is what can start the wheels turning. I am still taking clients, and still able to rent space at Just Breathe but you won't find me there if you just happen to be driving by. My sign will be taken down in the near future, and I will be happily living my "gypsy photographer" life. . . . hmmm, maybe a name change is in my future? I can see it now, "Gypsy Photo", we travel to you 🤩
P.S. I want to thank all of my clients past,present and future, who have (and will) shared their most intimate moments with me, YOU are the reason I am here. YOU are the reason I still love photography. 🥰
P.S.S. Stay tuned for my "in the works" new personal project, where, YES, I DO travel to you!! 😍
