“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.” -Semisonic
Gosh, this is an extremely hard post, but it’s time I’ve made it. As of July 14, 2020 Tammy Marie Photography is closing permanently. This was such a hard decision, but one that needed to be made. I’ve had a lot of life changes since I first started, some for the best and some for the worst. When I first started this journey I was so excited for a new beginning with doing something I loved so much. I was able to reconnect with old friends and form amazing friendships and life long clients. I had all the time in the world to devote to photography and making this my full time job. Times have changed... I had another child and had to find a full time income to supplement for the money I wasn’t making doing photography. When 2020 hit, I had a new outlook for Tammy Marie Photography. I set huge goals and unfortunately, I was unable to
meet them. As of right now, I need to take a step back and really focus on getting things with my little family squared away. My youngest son, Hudson. As most of you know as Huddy, has some learning disabilities and some other things going on. I have not openly talked about this on FB because I didn’t want that to define him and let’s be honest... not all of our life situations need to be posted on FB. He is such a bright and amazing little boy and he deserves more from me as a Mom. I need to focus more of my time on getting him to therapy and really getting down to the bottom of his conditions. I also, have my older son, Konnor that I need to focus more on being present at his events, especially his baseball. He works so hard to be on that field and I’m unable to make a lot of his games due to photography. I don’t want to look back years from now when it’s all gone and wonder “Man, I really wish I could have been there for that”, because those times will all be gone one day.
Do I feel like a failure??? YES! 100%! I feel like I have let a lot of people down, including my clients. Not being able to meet my quick turnarounds and having to reschedule what little time I have has been really hard and is taking a toll on me. I can’t give this job my best right now and that’s me just being truthful and honest. Family right now is so important and that’s where all my focus needs to go.
I will miss this sooooo much and I will miss seeing y’all every time for sessions. Just know I am so thankful for every single one of you that have supported me along the way and that have trusted me with capturing your families. I’m sorry if I have disappointed anyone, but this is what is best. Thank y’all so much from the bottom of my heart and I will always look back and cherish this memories.
For those of y’all that I have done sessions for recently or things I still need to get over to you, or sessions we have already schedule. I will still do them and get them out to you. I promise! I will be messaging or texting y’all with the information, tracking numbers, and final set dates. Please contact me if you have any questions. Sorry for any delay.
Tammy with Tammy Marie Photography.
