I’d like to welcome my new followers, and thank my existing clients who have left such beautiful reviews for me recently! (Some of them actually made me tear up!) Your kind words mean more to me than I can ever say. 🙏🥰
I’ve been a photographer for many years, but also almost always had a “real” job along the way. My photography has just always been something that feeds my creative soul. I tried to make a living at it years ago, (while also being a single mom to my young daughter) but it kind of sucked the joy right out of it for me. It turned into something I HAD to do, rather than something I LOVED to do. That was a valuable lesson and a turning point. I never wanted to be dependent on the income that came from my creative passion again.
My page of 10 years was hacked a couple of years ago, and I fought tooth and nail to get it back. I finally had to surrender. The hackers locked me out, changed the name of my page, then racked up a huge bill selling Chinese underwear. I lost over 1600 followers and all my reviews. It was devastating. I finally was able to start over with a new page, but 10 years of photographs and memories were gone. 🥲
So here I am now. Since that time, I’ve realized that life is precious and short, and I want to spend my life doing things I love and that make me happy. I invested in my client wardrobe and started designing the kinds of clothes I think are beautiful and want to photograph women and little girls in. I started saying no to corporate headshots and events where I receive a paycheck, but no creative satisfaction. I’m focusing on the work I love and I’ve never been happier. I’m so grateful that you’re on this new journey with me….I can’t wait to see what Fall brings! 🙏🥰
