Well… hi. It’s been a minute. 🤍
I haven’t posted here since December, so naturally my first post back is going to be a completely normal, casual little post and definitely not a small novel about where I’ve been. 😅
But in the spirit of oversharing just a tiny bit, I figured I’d be honest about why things have been so quiet around here.
I made the decision to take most of 2026 off from photography.
The truth is, there’s SO much more to running a photography business than being behind the camera. The constant pressure to post, market, book, edit, create content and stay visible—all during evenings and weekends while maintaining a “normal” 8–5—started taking a lot of the joy out of why I started doing this in the first place.
And constantly putting yourself and your work out there, hoping the next inquiry will come along, can be discouraging when things are quieter than you hoped.
So I gave myself permission to stop chasing it for a while.
Not because I stopped loving photography or appreciating the amazing people who have trusted me with their memories. 🤍
I just needed some space to miss it again.
And apparently…it worked. 📸
Because next weekend, I get to dust off the cameras, charge approximately 47 batteries 😅, pack entirely too much gear, test out a new second camera, and celebrate Karissa + Landon as they become husband and wife. 💍
And I am SO ready.
I’ve missed the anticipation of a wedding day, the little in-between moments, the happy chaos, the tiny details, the dance floor—and getting to preserve it all.
Then in September, I have one more VERY special reason to pick up my camera—my big brother and my future new sister’s engagement session. 🥹🤍 Getting to photograph this chapter for two people I love is something I’m incredibly excited about.
After that, it’s back to my photography sabbatical through the end of the year.
This isn’t quite my official “I’m back” post yet…
But 2027? I’m coming for you. ✨
For now, I’m just really happy that picking up my camera feels exciting again.
But first…
Let’s get Karissa + Landon married. 🤍💍
