A VERY HONEST BUSINESS UPDATE. 🤍

****EDIT: QUICK CLARIFICATION: This isn’t about overbooking myself! When I returned to full-time employment in June, my photography calendar for the rest of 2026 was already booked months in advance. This post was simply to be transparent with my clients about editing delays while honoring commitments I had made long before returning to work and yes I did let each client know personally.***

Original post:

I want to be completely transparent with everyone right now because I am EXTREMELY behind on wedding sneak peeks, final galleries, and getting photos out to my clients.

If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that October is ALWAYS insane for photographers. But when I tell you NOTHING has compared to this fall, I mean that wholeheartedly.

September and October have just about taken me OUT. 🫠

And quite frankly, I am beyond burned out. Mentally, physically, and emotionally EXHAUSTED.

For those who don’t know, I now work a full-time job outside of photography, Monday through Friday, 7:45 AM–5 PM, although I usually don’t leave until 5:30 or 6 PM.

And then? I head STRAIGHT to my photography sessions.

Almost. Every. Single. Night.

For months, I’ve been going straight from one job to the other, usually not walking through my front door until 9:30 or 10 PM, sometimes later. Now that we’re losing daylight, I’m getting home closer to 8 PM, but by then I barely have enough energy to function.

And this isn’t once or twice a week. This has been my EVERYDAY life for MONTHS.

My weekends haven’t been any different. I had 6 consecutive weeks of 8–10 hour weddings on Saturdays, followed by another 8 hours of sessions on Sundays. And my Friday nights were spent watching my daughter finish her final season of cheerleading. 🥹

When I tell you I’m NEVER home, I genuinely mean NEVERRRRR. My husband has practically taken over my laundry, and at this point, if he could shower FOR me, I think he would. 😂😭

I knew taking a full-time job while running my business would be challenging, but I NEVER imagined it would be this hard.

And I’m going to be really honest. There have been so many days I’ve wanted to just throw my hands up and quit. Not because I don’t love photography, but because I am running on EMPTY.

But I kept pushing because I knew this season was temporary.

And if you need an idea of just how much I’ve been shooting, yesterday I FINALLY maxed out all THIRTEEN of my 128GB SD cards. That’s over 1.6 TERABYTES of photographs!!!! 😭 I’ve been shooting so much that I haven’t even had the opportunity to sit down and properly go through so many of these sessions.

So here’s where I’m at. . . .

I know everyone is SO excited to see their photos, and trust me, I AM TOO!!! I’ve captured some absolutely incredible moments these last several weeks, and I cannot wait to share them.

But right now, I need TIME. I need PATIENCE and I need UNDERSTANDING.

I know being excited for your photos and having to wait longer than expected is frustrating, and I take full responsibility for being behind. I just want everyone to understand what life has genuinely looked like behind the scenes.

THE GOOD NEWS?! I HAVE ONE MORE WEEK OF CRAZINESS AND THEN MY SLOW SEASON FINALLY BEGINS!!!! 🙌🏼😭

After this upcoming week and weekend, my shooting schedule will slow down significantly, and I’ll finally have more time to focus on editing and delivering galleries.

For my wedding couples, all outstanding wedding sneak peeks will be going out within the next 2-3 WEEKS! 🤍 I’ll also be working through senior and family sneak peeks and catching up on outstanding final galleries.

I also plan on taking a VERY much needed break from shooting because this girl is TIREDDDD 😂

I love this business more than I could ever explain. But I’m also one person juggling two jobs, being a wife, a mom of three, and trying to find some kind of balance in a life that hasn’t had much of it lately.

If you’re waiting on photos, PLEASE know you have not been forgotten. Your memories matter to me, and I want to give them the time and attention they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who has shown me patience, grace, and understanding through what has truly been one of the most exhausting seasons of my life.

Nobody wants me caught up more than I do. TRUST ME. 😂😭

We’re almost through it, and I genuinely cannot WAIT to finally come up for air.

So much love, always!

BUSY SEASON PSA — PLEASE READ. 🤍

Every single year, without fail, I find myself having to make this same announcement. And quite frankly, I’m exhausted.

I AM BEHIND ON EDITING.

I’m aware of it. I’m working on it And I promise you, nobody wants your photos delivered more than I do!

Every busy season, I push myself beyond what is physically and mentally possible. I work late nights, sacrifice time with my family, lose sleep, and try to squeeze more hours into a day that simply do not exist.

And you know what? It’s really taking a toll on me.

My mental health, my home life, and my personal well-being have suffered tremendously because of how much of myself I pour into this business and my clients. And while I absolutely LOVE what I do, I cannot continue sacrificing myself to the point of exhaustion only to be met with nasty messages, disrespect, and a complete lack of understanding.

I am ONE person. I am a human being before I am YOUR photographer.

I understand being excited to receive your photos. I understand wanting updates. I understand that you’ve paid for a service, and I take that responsibility seriously. But there is a HUGE difference between respectfully checking in and treating someone like garbage because things are taking longer than expected.

At the end of the day, these are photos. Beautiful memories that I know mean so much to you, but they are not worth destroying someone’s mental health over. It’s NEVER that deep that another human being deserves to be treated poorly.

So here’s where I’m drawing the line . . .

Moving forward, if you cannot extend a little patience, kindness, or basic human decency during my busiest season you will be IMMEDIATELY refunded, and your photos will be deleted!

I would rather lose your business than continue allowing people to make me feel like I’m failing when I am already giving everything I have.

I will no longer sacrifice my mental health, my peace, or my family time trying to please people who cannot even show me basic respect.

That boundary starts TODAY.

I am DONE running myself into the ground trying to please people who cannot even treat me with basic respect.

That stops TODAY.

And to my clients who have been nothing but patient, understanding, encouraging, and KIND throughout this absolutely insane season. . .

YOU ARE THE REAL MVPS. 🥹🤍

Seriously. You have no idea how much your kindness means to me. Those sweet messages, the understanding when life happens, the patience while I work through galleries. . . THAT is what keeps me going.

I see you. I appreciate you. And I am so incredibly thankful for you.

Your galleries are coming. I promise I’m working hard. But moving forward, I will no longer sacrifice my peace, my family, or my health trying to meet impossible expectations.

Thank you to everyone who understands that behind Leanne Marie Photography is a real person with a real life, a family, and limits. 🤍

The Hawe’s Wedding 10.10.26 | The Hawes 🤎🥂

Another beautiful wedding day in the books!

Spent my Saturday celebrating the sweetest couple at The Peak at Edison in Gahanna, Ohio! From the gorgeous rooftop views to all the little moments in between, it was such a beautiful day to be part of.

A little behind the scenes of me doing what I love most! 📸🤍

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Hawe! Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever after! 🥂

And now . . . a little shoutout to my girl Fe! 😂❤️

This girl has been my friend since HIGH SCHOOL, and to this day, she is still out here telling literally EVERYONE and ANYONE she knows about me and my business! At this point, this girl is keeping me FED! 😂😂

I’m pretty sure I’ve officially become their entire family’s photographer at this point! From family sessions, seniors, newborns, engagements and now weddings! This was actually my SECOND wedding for this family, on top of the endless other sessions I’ve done for them over the years!

But seriously, Fe, I hope you know how much I appreciate you. 🥹💛 The fact that someone I’ve known since high school continues to support my business, trust me with her family’s memories, and recommend me to everyone she knows means more than you’ll ever realize.

Word of mouth is EVERYTHING for a small business, and having people who genuinely believe in you and your work is something I’ll NEVER take for granted. I’m beyond grateful for you and this entire family! 🫶🏼

Brooklynn’s senior session 🥹🤍

This one hits a little different when the senior in front of your camera is your own baby. 😭 My girl isn’t a baby anymore, and somehow we’re already here . . . .SENIOR YEAR!

Getting to photograph this season of her life is something I’ll treasure forever. I’m so proud of the beautiful young woman she’s becoming, but I’d be lying if I said my mama heart wasn’t struggling just a little. 😫🥺

Class of 2027 🎓✨

Congratulations, Melissa + Tom! 🤍

Well. . . it finally got me. 🤧

Both of my girls have been sick and apparently the germs looked around the house, did a quick headcount and said “hold on. . . we forgot one.”

And listen. We all know I have a flair for the dramatics. I stub my toe and it’s been an honor knowing you all. I get a headache and I’m mentally dividing up my belongings amongst my children.

BUT THIS TIME I AM ACTUALLY DYING GUYS. 😂

I am officially CLOSED for the weekend because my body has made the executive decision that we will be doing absolutely ✨nothing✨ besides sleeping, complaining, taking medicine, sleeping some more, waking up confused about what time it is, and then going directly back to sleep.

I’ve slept so many hours at this point that I believe I legally qualify as a house cat? I wake up, reposition myself, drink a little water, stare blankly into the distance for 30 seconds and go right back to sleep. I have definitely become one with my cats. 🐈😂

And somehow after ALL THAT SLEEP. . . . I’M STILL FREAKING TIRED. Which honestly feels disrespectful.

Any sessions that need to be rescheduled will be rescheduled once I’m back in the office and feeling better. Messages, emails, galleries and anything requiring more than one functioning brain cell will also be handled when I return.

If you need me before then. . . .no you don’t. ❤️

And please enjoy this photo of me looking like I’ve been bedridden since 1847 and the family has gathered downstairs to discuss whether I’m going to make it through the night. 😂 Like somebody please send for the town physician. Tell him to bring his little leather bag. My time may be near.

Anyway, thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time. Please respect my family’s privacy as we prepare for the possibility that I may have to spend AN ENTIRE WEEKEND DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I know. . .

Devastating!

See y’all when I respawn. 🫡😂

(Despite all the joking, 🙃 I am currently DOWN BAD. 😂😭 Like genuinely feel like death kinda sick right now.

So, no I’m not working this weekend. Yes, I PROMISE I will reach out to everyone who needs rescheduled as soon as I’m feeling better.)

Just a little heads up for all of my clients! 🫶🏼

Sickness is taken over my house right now! Both of my girls currently have the flu AND COVID 😭

Unfortunately, I’m starting to not feel the greatest either so I’m really hoping it doesn’t turn into what the girls have. 🤞🏼

As of right now, I’m not automatically canceling or rescheduling anything, but I wanted to give everyone with an upcoming session a heads up that there is a possibility I may need to reschedule on short notice if I do get sick.

I hate rescheduling clients, especially during busy season, but I also don’t want to expose any of you or your families to COVID or the flu. ❤️

For now, if you don’t hear from me, your session is still on as scheduled! Just please have a little patience with me over the next few days while we try to get everyone in this house healthy again. 🫶🏼

Some weddings you photograph… and some you feel. 🥹✈️🤍

Cassie + CJ’s day was one of those weddings I’ll never forget. From traveling to Pennsylvania, to the sweetest people, the most beautiful love story, and YES — bringing the PLANE into the wedding photos?! 😭📸

Every part of this weekend felt like a dream, and getting to capture these two in their element made it even more special.

BRB, still not over this one. ✈️🤍
