Well, I have been really hesitant to make this post because I didn't think I could read the comments without being sad but, this week concluded my last week in photography.
Those that are close to me know already and won't be shocked at this.
The past two years I've been struggling quite a bit. I feel like I have such a love and passion for photography but I really hate being a business owner. I don't enjoy the fact that I need to make videos in order to be a successful photographer. I hate everything taxes, and writing emails. I love everything about the actual art but beyond that it just brings me so much stress and I had a constant feeling of not doing enough.
Then life happened, I lost family members, got more involved in my kids homeschool, disease progression, financial stress, you name it.
It all began to weaken my mental health. I lost myself this past year.
I never want to stop taking photos but I do have to put this business to bed for awhile.
To each and every past client, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dream a reality. Thank you for each of you that shared my posts and encouraged me to keep going. There are so many amazing photographers out there, please give them love and support because this business can be tough. But for me, I end on a high note. I conclude with some of my best work, photos that I am truly proud of. Some that will be "revered" for a lifetime.
I just have two sessions left to edit and I will be done.
*** Clients, current and past please be sure to download and save your galleries to several places as my gallery hosting software will go offline in December.
Thank you all so much 💙✌️😭
