Continuing from yesterday’s conversation… 🤍
First, I just have to say THANK YOU for all the love I received on yesterday’s post. The messages, encouragement, and just the amount of respect you guys showed for the boundaries I’ve chosen for my business meant more than you know. Truly, making this change four years ago has been one of the biggest blessings for me and my family.
And I know weekday sessions can be tricky!
But protecting our weekends for family time, church, and just being together is something that has become really important to me.
If I’ve learned anything over the last four years, it’s that the families who really want to work with me usually find a way to make it happen — and I’m SO grateful for that.
For my families with school-aged kiddos, a lot of my moms make it a fun afternoon! They’ll check the kids out a little early, grab a snack, get everyone ready and head to photos. I’ve also had parents take a half day from work and turn it into a little family afternoon.
And if mornings work for your family, whether your kiddos are in school or not, I LOVE a good morning session! I currently offer Tuesday + Thursday mornings, and honestly, kids are usually in the BEST moods. They’ve slept all night, had breakfast, and we’re catching them before the tiredness of the day sets in. There is just something about a fresh, happy morning kiddo that I love. 😂🤍
I’m also doing my very best to avoid booking on school holidays. Those days are precious family time too, and I really want to protect them whenever I can.
I completely understand that weekday sessions aren’t accessible for every family, and I never want to pretend that they are. But I’ve been so thankful to see how many of you have been willing to make it work year after year.
This business truly is one of the biggest blessings in my life. It allows me to do something I LOVE, serve families I absolutely adore, and still protect the time that matters most to me.
The fact that you guys continue to support me, respect those boundaries, and allow me to build my business around my family instead of my family around my business is something I will never take for granted. 🤍
