the month i passed my hospital salary as a photographer! 😭🙌🏼 I wanted to walk you down what this job has looked like for me as well as send a huge thank you to YOU!
4 years ago, I was eating breakfast with one of my dearest friends in the hospital lobby, before our shift, discussing our dreams. We would have those conversations of, if you could do anything, what would it be. At the time, I was newly pregnant with my first daughter and all I honestly ever wanted was to be able to stay home with her. At the time, living in Austin, that just wasn’t going to be the case. It was in that conversation I brought up photography. I absolutely loved it, didn’t know if I’d be any good, but knew I’d be willing to put forth the effort. I honestly never intended on making it a career. I just wanted to be able to take good + quality pictures of my kids!
I remember saying, i don’t want to just do a job because I’m making good money, yet not feeling happy or fulfilled, and knowing my heart longed to be elsewhere-to be home with my children. SAHM life isn’t for everyone, but it was 100% what i wanted.
I was recently reminded of this conversation from this sweet friend along with so much encouragement and GOSH did I feel humbled. The Lord has been so faithful- he saw the desire of my heart and he paved the steps for me to learn + grow this hobby into a business. AND because of my sweet clients- it’s now flourishing. I could’ve never dreamed I’d be here, staying home and loving on my babies all day, and getting to practice my craft in evenings + weekends.
I’m so grateful to each of you who has trusted me with your memories— all the way from 4 years ago in Austin, TX— to now! I’m so grateful for a husband who is beyond encouraging. Who said, “babe why don’t you just stay home + pursue photography- give it your all”.. I’m grateful to dear friends who have followed along, liked, commented, and shared posts bc believe it or not that’s HUGE to a small business owner. I feel so grateful to be where i am, and just want to say a huge THANK YOU! So whether you’re new here or you’ve been following along for a bit— i pour my heart into this business + into your families and I’m grateful you’re apart! 🖤🖤
