SAME PHOTOGRAPHER, DIFFERENT MINDSET! ✨🩷
It’s time I finally share a little piece of my story with you all. 🥹
For years, I battled weight gain, depression/anxiety, and the feeling that I wasn’t truly living my best life. Earlier this year, I decided I was done just getting by. It was time to take my life back!
After going through countless medical tests, appointments, and clearances, I underwent gastric sleeve surgery in June, and let me tell you… my life has been FOREVER changed!
I’m doing things now that I never imagined I could do before. Something as simple as getting down on the ground during a wedding to capture those perfect moments is now something I can do with so much more confidence AND ease! In the past, I often relied on my second photographers to help me with certain shots, but now this girl is ready to get down, get creative, and do just about anything… except get on a ladder! 🤣😂
But in all seriousness, this journey has been about so much more than a number on the scale. It’s about my health, my happiness, my confidence, and becoming the woman and photographer I knew I could be.
To my past clients, thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and allowing me to be part of your most precious memories. I look back and realize how much I was struggling behind the scenes, even when I showed up with my camera and a smile.
I’m not sharing this because I’m ashamed of the photographer I used to be. I’m sharing it because I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m excited about where I’m going! ❤️
So here’s to a healthier, happier, more confident ME! 🩷✨
Same Amanda. Same love for photography. Just a whole new mindset, a little more confidence, and SO much more life to live!📷
