We lost my dad unexpectedly two weeks ago while my parents were on a cruise for his birthday. His 60th birthday was supposed to be the next day 💔😞 Thank you so much to my wonderful clients for being so patient and your support while we have been going through this. This has truly been a nightmare. I still feel like I can’t think or type or talk or do anything. I haven’t stopped crying. I will never be the same. I just want this to all be over and my dad to come home. The kids just look so sad. I don’t know what we would do without Nathan and I just have this terrible anxiety about everyone in our family that I just can’t make go away now.
My dad was my best friend and meant everything to me and the kids. He gave me the best life and always was there for everything. We just lost my cat of 17 years too and he checked in on me constantly. He was the best dad. He would have been the one getting us through all of this. During the funeral I almost said so many times where is papa because people were pulling me away from the kids and he would have been the one with them. I looked for him so many times because everyone was there and he just should have been with us. He is the reason I started a business and that me and the kids know we can do anything we want to and dream about. He had such a big heart and I just can’t imagine a life without him.
Our photography business is just me and Nathan helps as much as possible but has a full time job so the “back end” is just me and I’m so sorry. But I’m still here and working and just appreciate the patience so much. It’s the hardest part of being a small business and I wish we were to a point where we could afford an actual team to help full time with everything but I’m still just not there yet.
I started working on emails and messages yesterday and I’ll be getting back to anything I haven’t yet this morning. And I’ve still been editing too and have a few galleries almost ready to go out and sneak peeks coming for what hasn’t been posted. Thank you so incredibly much for your patience. I feel very thankful that I’ve worked really hard to put practices in place this year to help me so I’m not crazy behind and am still able to keep showing up for all of you. But this has been insanely hard and I appreciate how kind everyone has been just so much. We truly have the best clients and are just blown away by all of the support for our family and are forever thankful. Please just check in if you need an update or something urgently 🩷
All scheduled sessions from this point on are on and we are back to booking for the rest of this year and still have Christmas sessions available 🥺 I will be reaching out today with reschedule dates for the sessions I had to reschedule. I don’t know how I’m going to do this but I have to be strong and still feed our family and pay our bills and be here for my clients. Please pray for all of us, especially my mom and granny and the kids.
Thank you so much everyone. We love you.
