Buckle up. This is a long one. ❤
Watching families grow in front of my lens has filled my heart so much.
I have always said, if I won the lottery, I would do this for everyone free of charge.
Unfortunately, that's not possible. Many don't understand what it takes (on many levels, but especially financially) to keep a business above water.
I have always strived to provide only the best. Not just images you can cherish for lifetimes to come, but also the experience of your session. Whether that be a cozy studio, a client closet, a stocked fridge, or timeless art, I've wanted my clients to have it all.
For the ones that have watched me grow from a back room in my home a county away, to where I am now and have been there every step of the way, thank you.
To my new clients who also value my work and recognize my effort in making your entire experience not only detail-oriented and professional, but also personal and peaceful, thank you for choosing me.
This isn't just my "job" this is my livlihood, my "eighth baby" as I've called it. It's something I have grown from nothing and couldn't imagine not having in my life.
As many of you know, I had considered selling The Photo Barn and, because of my love and passion for the art and so many people whom I love dearly, I just couldn't do it.
However, I do have to be realistic about some aspects of running this "baby" of a business, and, like many of us in this economy, I have to make some difficult decisions. Fortunately, one of them is NOT letting go.
However, there will be some big shake-ups and changes before the holiday season starts. Some will require some adjusting (mostly for me) and some will mean big (positive) changes for all of my current and potential clients.
I'm not ready to let go and I hope you'll all hold on with me.
Hugs, as always.
Meredith ❤
