Warning: Long. sappy post ahead… but hush, it’s almost thanksgiving and I’m feeling sentimental ✨
To everyone who saw what I couldn’t see in myself all those years ago when I first picked up my camera, thinking it would be a hobby, and has since invested in me and my dream of …. I have no words for how grateful I am.
This season is always my time to reflect on the growth, trials, and triumphs of the past year and I think it goes without saying this past year was unlike any other. From home invasion and robbery to home ownership, I have truly experienced such a contrasting spectrum of life. Looking back on the rollercoaster of it all, I can confidently say that your unwavering support, belief, and dedication to Sonder and myself reassured me that I was meant to be doing this. Especially when I felt so undeserving and like I was running my business into the ground while trying to balance the chaos of life.
✨ Every booking or client request was a tiny nudge to keep trudging forward.
✨Every session was a tangible reminder of why I loved photography to begin with.
✨Every gallery delivery day was filled with adoration, overwhelming proudness, and confirmation that this journey isn’t over.
So, Thank you for entrusting so many of your sacred moments to me, welcoming me into your incredible stories, and allowing me to document the beautiful moments that deserve to be preserved and cherished. Thank you for believing in this dream, even when I laughed at the thought of being a real life business owner and creative. You all pushed me to see my worth, and for that, I will forever be indebted to every single one of you. To the ones who have opened your homes, stories, hearts, memories, and families with me.. I am forever overflowing with thankfulness.
I promise there is ✨so much more✨ to come.
