In case you missed my stories yesterday and are wondering where I’ve been….
I recently have scaled way back on photography. WHAT, WHY..? My business is something that I adore and have used to truly share my heart and make genuine connection with so many of you. Many of you have become friends and it is something special to me.
Something I always said when creating my business is that it will allow me freedom and time to be a mom first. In many ways it did. But I’ll be honest, running a business is HARD!! And even when I was with my little girl, mentally I was still at work. I was still trying to figure out how to make it all work. Find time to be a business owner and run it the way I wanted, but also find time to be mom.
A while back while I was away working, Hunter called and said he was taking Adeline to the ER. She had a fever that wouldn’t break and was scary high. I was 2+ hours away and I was helpless. I trusted Hunter, and knew he knew exactly what to do, but I was mom. In that moment I wasn’t there when I had always said I just want to be present. Now things happen I get it. I can’t be with her every moment, but this felt different. I spent that 2 hour drive to the ER crying and begging the Lord to just give me peace about what was next.
I’ve gone back and forth on what to do, I stepped away from weddings, and I kept asking myself how do I not stretch myself so thin that I can’t enjoy being a mom. I decided that in this season I have to make being present and being mama number one. Adeline is little one time. The time I have will never return. So I decided to just scale back. Take on sessions when I can, and truly have freedom to do what I need to at home.
In this, I joined the Amazon influencer program. I thought wow I am definitely not cut out to be a content creator 😂 But, if other people can do it why can’t I? I realized this can be a creative outlet for me that I do in my own home during nap time. I enjoy people who are just genuine and want to be honest about things that they actually like. So, I decided to dedicate an entire YouTube channel to posting content of Amazon reviews and just things I love in my home.
I know this post is long so if you’re still reading, I’d be so grateful if you checked out my YouTube channel! If seeing my reviews sounds interesting to you, I’d love for you to subscribe and stay up to date on what I’m up to 😂 As we head into the holiday season I’ll be sharing so much there and making shopping lists in my Amazon storefront! If you want to check that out, I’ll link it below!

As always thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting me and my family as my business changes and evolves! Couldn’t be more honored to have you as a part of my little corner of the internet! 🤍
