A Little Update from Simone Galati Photography 📸🤍

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that it’s time to temporarily hang up my photography hat.

I absolutely LOVE photography and am so incredibly grateful for the countless people who have reached out to me about sessions. But right now, I’m also in the very full season of raising three kids—one that seems to involve never-ending carpools, practices, games, meets, school activities, and somehow being in five places at once. 😂

Photography isn’t my full-time job, and I’ve realized that the limited free time I have right now needs to belong to my family. These years are going way too fast, and for this season of life, I need to give myself permission to simply be Mom when I’m not working.

This is definitely **not goodbye**. ❤️ I love being behind the camera, and when life settles down a little, I fully plan to pick it back up. I already look forward to capturing beautiful families, milestones, and memories again.

In the meantime, I cannot recommend **Shannon Lesko of Lens 2 Life Photography** enough. Shannon is not only my own family’s photographer, but she has also been my photography mentor and has taught me so much of what I know. Our photography and editing styles are incredibly similar, and our price points are very comparable as well. If you love the look of my work, I feel completely confident sending you her way.

Thank you so much to every person who has trusted me to capture their family and to everyone who continues to reach out. It truly means more to me than you know.

For now, Simone Galati Photography is just hitting the pause button. 📸❤️ I have a feeling my camera and I will find our way back to each other when the time is right.
