Dear diary, it’s been sixty-some days since I posted on my business page, which feels both mildly concerning and kind of impressive. Things have been busy. Like, really busy.
My schedule has stayed so incredibly full with current clients, past clients, referrals, friends of friends, sister-in-law’s brother’s cousin’s whatever 😂 and so many “someone gave me your name” messages that somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t really missing social media all that much.
Because if you’ve worked with me, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve told you two things:
1. I have an immense amount of anxiety.
2. “Can I record a little bit of this for a reel?” followed almost immediately by me explaining how much I hate having to make reels.
Unfortunately, marketing yourself is part of owning a business, and somewhere along the way social media convinced photographers that we are also supposed to be content creators, videographers, influencers, trend forecasters, entire marketing departments, and somehow still remember to actually take the pictures.
And for a little while, I just stopped forcing it.
I stopped forcing myself to show up online, but I never stopped showing up in real life. In fact, I think I dove in a little overzealously.
I’ve been photographing your babies, your bellies, your seniors, your weddings, your families, your chaos, your milestones, your tiny details and your big moments. I’ve been editing galleries, answering emails, planning sessions, raising my own babies, living my own life, and watching the days move by much faster than I’d prefer.
And honestly, it’s been good to just soak it all up.
This business has grown so much through people simply trusting me, coming back to me, and telling the people they love about me. There is something incredibly special about knowing your name is being passed around in conversations you aren’t even there for, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop being grateful for that.
So I guess this is me letting you know I’m still here. Still photographing the memories, still doing the work, still loving this little business of mine, just spending a lot more time behind the scenes than I am in your face. 😂
Just a little more life, a little more work, a little more intention… and probably a few fall things I should start telling you guys about. 🤍
