So I’ve reached a really weird headspace lately. I’m 6 months pregnant and feel the pressure of regular work (because this is not my full time job), getting balanced with Josh being in school now, becoming a mother and everything that comes with that, and the expectations I have felt surrounded my photography.
I love photography so much- and it has opened so many doors. But I’m sure you’ve all noticed I’ve slowed down.
I have spent a while nurturing my creative side. And while I will continue to do that in small ways, I’m allowing myself to make room for nurturing new things.
I’m nurturing my maternal instincts and being present for my body and myself. I’m nurturing being a wife and building a solid foundation for mine and Josh’s new family. And I’m nurturing myself because I will never be the same again after Fiona lands in my arms.
While I’m not necessarily “taking a break” from photography, because I have things I want to work on, I am taking a break from adding a pressure on myself to perform.
I’m not just a photographer. There are a lot of sides to me that I’m not necessarily posting about - which I’m sure is the case for many creatives on here. I love sharing this experience I’m going through. Because this is a human’s journey. Which makes it an artist’s journey.
The beautiful thing about change, is that it changes your perspective through the lens too. So I’m excited that this nurturing stage I’m in will make me a well-balanced human, a present mother, a supportive wife, and a powerful visual story teller.
Thank you all for sticking around through the journey of me finding my visual storytelling voice. And thank you for continuing to support me through whatever life throws at me. This community has built me up and allowed me to share what I love.
