This hurts to write.
For now, Jasper Rose Photography will be temporarily closing.
I have fought with this decision for a long time because photography has never just been a job to me. It has been a part of who I am. It gave me a way to tell stories, hold onto moments, and create something beautiful for people during seasons of life they never want to forget.
But the truth is, I cannot financially keep this business alive right now.
I know people see $200 for a session and think that sounds expensive, especially in this economy. Honestly, I understand that. Everybody is trying to survive right now. But what most people do not see are the website costs, Lightroom fees, the gas it takes just to travel to shoots, equipment upkeep, editing time, and everything else that goes into running a photography business behind the scenes. When I sat down and really looked at everything, I realized I was not making enough to justify keeping it going.
And as much as I love photography, I cannot keep pouring from an empty cup while trying to support myself, my child, and my cats.
This is not me giving up forever. I hope it is just a pause. Maybe one day I will be able to come back to this when life is a little steadier and creating does not feel like something I have to financially drown for.
To every single person who booked with me, shared my work, hyped me up, trusted me with your memories, or simply believed in Jasper Rose Photography, thank you. You mattered to me more than you probably realized.
One last important thing. If you have photos saved in your online gallery that you still need to download, please do it as soon as possible. The website will be going down soon, and once it does, all galleries and images will be permanently deleted.
