A Letter From My Heart π
To my dear clients, friends, and followers β
After a great deal of reflection and one of the most honest conversations I've ever had with my husband Dave, I am sharing some news that comes with both a heavy heart and a deep sense of peace.
Johna Hayward Photography will be closing its studio doors on Halloween, October 31st.
This past year has been a humbling and challenging journey. I have poured my heart into this studio, into each of you, and into this craft I have loved for 18 years. But life is redirecting us, and I have learned to listen. Dave is turning 60 in November and retiring soon. We have grandchildren now. Our family is growing and moving in a beautiful new direction β and we have to honor that.
Before I close, I am offering one final studio session day:
πΈ Sunday, October 18th
This is studio-only, and it will be my last. If you have been thinking about photos β please don't wait. Reach out today.
After October 31st, you won't find me behind a camera, but you WILL find me β at local craft shows, supporting my daughter's craft business, and giving back to the su***de prevention community, a cause that is deeply close to my heart.
It has been the greatest honor to photograph your families, your milestones, and your moments. Thank you for trusting me with them.
With all my love and gratitude,
Johna Hayward
