Next weekend (November 7) our family is gaining another son when these two cuties say "I do" to forever, and I couldn't be happier for them (and for us!)! So, if things look a little quiet in here, you'll know that I'm probably making last minute lists, and running last minute errands, and doing all the fun and wonderful things a Mother of the Bride gets to enjoy doing. I can't wait to celebrate them! 💚🖤💛

Small businesses are struggling. Not sure what the answer is...

It’s honestly heartbreaking what social media is doing to small businesses.

I’ve spent 17 YEARS building my photography business. Seventeen years of hard work, dedication, investments, and sacrifices.

I have spent years building a following of people who CHOSE to follow my business because they wanted to see my work.

Yet Facebook gets to decide who actually sees it.

Today, I offered a bo***ir shoot with NO session charge. Not one single person commented. Not one person asked about it. NOTHING.

I eventually deleted the post.

Think about that. I couldn’t even GIVE a photography session away!

And while I can’t know exactly how many people saw that offer, it makes me seriously question how many of my followers are actually seeing my posts.

Meanwhile, our feeds are filled with AI-generated videos of things that didn't happen, and content we never even asked to see.

REAL photographers. REAL artists. REAL small businesses. REAL families depending on that income.

We’re competing for visibility against content that an algorithm decides people should see instead to keep us entertained and scrolling.

This isn’t about wanting likes or attention.

THIS IS MY JOB. THIS IS MY LIVELIHOOD.

This is how I pay my bills. This is how I keep my studio doors open.

And the thought that a platform can have so much influence over whether a business survives, simply by controlling its visibility, is terrifying.

If someone takes the time to follow a business, why shouldn’t they be able to see what that business posts?

Small business owners shouldn’t have to beg to be seen by people who already chose to support them.

Seventeen years of building something shouldn’t be at the mercy of an algorithm.

And quite frankly, it’s not fair. 💔

As much as I wish I could share a direct link to book my Christmas mini sessions, Facebook no longer allows business to share more than 2 links per month (without a minimum $40/month subscription). This is hurting small, independent businesses like mine. If you'd like to read more information about my upcoming Christmas mini sessions in November and December, please visit my website Lisa Pallardy Photography dot com and click on MINI SESSIONS. Or send me a message, and I'll get all the information to you. I've only got a few spots left!

Lilli's smile and positive energy is absolutely contagious and I'm excited to share her Media Day pictures! Representing the South Pekin TORNADOES, Lilli showed that you don't need a serious game face to make a BIG impression!

There's something special about watching these young athletes get excited for a new season, and I absolutely LOVE capturing that excitement!

Lilli, I had so much fun having you in front of my camera!

Maggie brought the ENERGY to my studio this weekend for her Cheer Media Day, and these pictures speak for themselves!

Representing Edison Junior High School, this 8th grader knows how to bring the confidence, the spirit, and a whole lot of personality!

I had SO much fun capturing these images, and I'm excited to share some of my favorites from her session!
