Important Client Update

I want to make sure everyone receives their images without further delay.

Over the next few days, I will be delivering unedited image galleries to all remaining clients. These files will be sent with full permission for you to have them edited by any editor of your choosing, in any style you prefer.

I have tried to work on editing but it seems everything is a little too overwhelming and the stress\anxiety attacks are more than I can manage.

There is a possibility that I may be checking into a treatment facility soon. If that happens, I don’t know how long I’ll be unavailable, and I don’t want that uncertainty to impact anyone who trusted me with their memories. My priority right now is making sure you have your images in hand before that occurs.

I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during this time. Thank you for allowing me the space to take care of my health while still honoring my commitments in the best way I can right now.

Sometimes the world inside my head gets louder than the one outside it.

I’ve been doing the hard, necessary work; seeking help, advocating for myself, waiting weeks for appointments, believing I’d found the right fit. Only to be told, gently and fairly, this isn’t it. That happens. It still lands heavy.

I tried to move through my days as usual, but the noise caught up with me. Last night was a full unraveling, the kind that forces you to stop pretending you’re fine and ask real questions about how to keep going. I’m incredibly grateful for one extraordinary human who stayed with me through it all, who grounded me, reminded me of my strength, and helped me believe there is an other side to reach.

There is a version of this story where I kept pushing, kept showing up, kept pretending I could muscle my way through. That version ends badly. I am closer to complete and total collapse than I’ve ever been, and ignoring that truth would be dangerous. This pause isn’t optional or dramatic, this is the difference between breaking entirely and giving myself a chance to survive what’s happening inside my own mind. This season asks me to choose stillness and survival over momentum.

All photos are safe. I’m very VERY slowly arranging outsourced edits as funds allow, and everything will be handled with care. Progress may sound silent, but it’s still happening.

Right now, my main job is survival. Breathing. Making it through. Choosing to stay.

I know this may disappoint people. That knowledge weighs heavily on me. I don’t step away lightly, and I don’t take your trust for granted. I’m deeply sorry to anyone who feels let down. Please know this choice isn’t about giving up, it’s about choosing life, even when that choice looks like stillness, silence, and stepping out of sight.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your prayers, they truly matter more than you know. I’m doing my best to come back whole.

Hello everyone, this is Robert again, posting on behalf of my wife.

This is a continued update and reminder, as it seems not everyone is receiving or respecting the message.

She is currently navigating a serious and overwhelming mental health crisis. Stepping back from direct communication is not optional for her right now it is necessary for her safety and recovery. Continuing to engage, explain, or respond directly causes additional harm.

All galleries are still being worked on and delivered. Nothing has been abandoned. I am actively helping her stay focused on editing as she is able each day. Turnaround times will be slower than usual, and we appreciate your patience.

What must stop immediately:
Please do not contact me (Robert).
Please do not message across multiple platforms.
Please do not contact her workplace.

This behavior has been occurring and is significantly worsening her mental health. These boundaries are not suggestions they are necessary.

To reduce stress, I am managing her pages and will continue providing updates here. Reaching out elsewhere will not speed things up and only causes harm.

Mental health crises deserve the same seriousness and respect as physical ones. Right now, rest, space, and compassion are essential.

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available call or text 988.

Thank you to those who have been patient and respectful. We ask everyone else to honor these boundaries so she can heal safely.

Hello everyone, this is Robert.
I’m posting on behalf of my wife.

She is currently going through a very dark and emotionally overwhelming time. What she’s facing has had a profound impact on her mental health, and right now, stepping back is not a choice, it’s a necessity. This is the kind of situation where pushing through or staying visible would do more harm than good.

Because of this, she will be taking a break from social media and direct communication so she can focus on stabilizing, healing, and protecting her well-being.

I want to reassure everyone that all sessions are still being edited, and nothing has been abandoned. I'm helping to keep her focused as much as she can on them daily. Things may take longer than usual, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

To keep communication clear and consistent, I will be managing her pages and posting updates once a week.

Mental health is just as serious as physical health. When someone is struggling at this level, rest, space, and compassion are not optional, they are essential. We ask for grace, patience, and understanding as she takes the time she needs to get through this safely.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know help is available, call or text 988.

Thank you for respecting her privacy, honoring this boundary, and allowing her the space to heal.

Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you can do some beautiful non-themed studio sessions. When she showed me the outfits she wanted I knew our classic cream brick backdrop would be perfect!
