This fall has been SO good to me. The weather, my clients, the locations I’ve gotten to shoot at this year… all of it has been incredible. 🥹
I went into this year genuinely unsure if I even wanted to continue photography. I was burnt out, I felt like I needed to reconnect with why I loved this, and I felt like I was missing out on too much with my kids. Being addicted to golden hour is rough on a mom. 😂 Jk… but also, not really.
I knew I needed to slow things down this year and be more intentional with my time, my business, and the way I approached my sessions. And wow… here I am, somehow falling in love with this job all over again.
I am SO grateful to have a career that allows me to be creative, connect with people, and do something I genuinely love. I don’t ever want to take that for granted.
And the little moments this month have reminded me exactly why I do this.
I’ve had kids tell me on the way to the parking lot after their session that it was a “10/10 experience” and that they were going to tell all their friends about me. (lol) I’ve had clients text me immediately after their sessions to tell me how much fun they had. And I’ve had clients receive their galleries and tell me they’re amazed by the photos because, from their perspective, the entire session felt like pure chaos thanks to their active toddler. 😂
THAT is the stuff that gets me. The fact that people can show up, be themselves, let their kids be kids, and walk away with an experience they actually enjoyed and photos they love. It will never get old.
One more October session and just a few more sessions left for the rest of the year. I made it through another busy season, and instead of ending it feeling completely drained and questioning everything, I’m coming out of it feeling SO good.
Turns out, I didn’t fall out of love with photography. I just needed to find a way to do it that felt good for me, too. And right now? I’m just really, really happy to be here. ❤️
