A Little Secret I’ve Been Keeping… 🎓📸
I’ve been keeping a little secret… and I finally get to share it. 🥹❤️
I made the National Honor Society list through Southern New Hampshire University for my Photography degree. 🎓✨
And honestly? I’m incredibly proud of this one.
This journey hasn’t always been easy. There have been plenty of moments where my skills were tested, my confidence was challenged, and I had to step outside of what felt comfortable. I’ve received critical feedback from professors, had assignments that pushed me far beyond what I thought I could do, and spent countless hours learning, editing, re-editing, questioning myself, and trying again.
But every single challenge has made me a better photographer.
If I’m being completely honest—not just with you, but with myself—if someone had told me five years ago that I would go back to school to chase a dream I once thought was out of reach, I probably would have called them crazy.
If they had told me I would not only go back to school, but excel enough to make the National Honor Society, I definitely would have called them crazy. 😂
And yet… here we are.
But there’s something I want you to know:
I would not be here without YOU.
When I started this journey, I knew I wanted photography to be more than just taking pretty pictures.
I wanted to freeze moments in time.
I wanted to tell your stories through photographs—the kind of photographs you can look back at 10, 15, or even 30 years from now and instantly remember the way you felt in that exact moment.
The excitement of an engagement.
The love between two people.
The chaos and laughter of your family.
The anticipation of welcoming a new baby.
The confidence you found in yourself during a bo***ir session.
The pride of a senior standing on the edge of their next chapter.
The little moments that seem ordinary today but become priceless memories tomorrow.
I want my photographs to make you feel something.
I want to create images that tell your story authentically—not just what you looked like, but who you were, who you loved, what you were celebrating, and how that moment felt.
And YOU have been such a huge part of helping me get here.
Every person who has stepped in front of my camera has given me another opportunity to learn. Every session has challenged me to grow. Every piece of constructive criticism from my professors has helped me see my work differently. And every person who has trusted me with their memories has helped shape the photographer I am becoming.
So, from the absolute bottom of my heart…
THANK YOU. ❤️
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for letting me tell your stories.
Thank you for allowing me to learn alongside you.
Thank you for being patient with me as I balance school, life, editing, and running a growing photography business.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create, fail, learn, improve, and keep pushing forward.
And thank you for believing in Blush & Bokeh Photography.
My Photography degree will officially be finished in about 5½ months, with graduation just 9 months away. 🎓
But apparently, I’ve decided I’m not ready to stop learning yet. 😂
I’ve officially decided to re-enroll at SNHU for my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship. 📚✨
Why?
Because I don't just want to be a better photographer.
I want to build a better business for YOU.
Continuing my education in business and entrepreneurship will help me strengthen the foundation behind Blush & Bokeh Photography—everything from business strategy and financial planning to marketing, client experience, branding, growth, and creating a sustainable business that allows me to continue doing what I love for years to come.
I’m not chasing a piece of paper.
I’m building something.
Something I dreamed about before I even knew how to make it happen.
Something that allows me to create art, connect with people, tell stories, celebrate milestones, and preserve memories that can never be recreated.
And somehow, the girl who would have laughed if you told her five years ago that she’d be doing all of this…
Is now on the National Honor Society list.🥹🎓
I think she’d be pretty damn proud.
And I know I am.
Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂📸
Thank you for being part of the story behind the lens.
