A few months ago, my husband and I were hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains when I stopped to take this photo.
At the time, it was simply a beautiful autumn scene. Today, it feels like a reminder.
The path ahead isn’t always clear. Sometimes there are unexpected obstacles, difficult seasons, and stretches of the journey that require you to slow down and trust the process.
As many of you know, I’m still in the hospital recovering from severe double pneumonia and an asthma exacerbation. Yesterday, my medical team performed a bronchoscopy to better understand why my lungs have been struggling to heal. They found significant inflammation throughout my bronchial tree and collected cultures that are now being tested. We’re currently waiting for those results and hoping they provide more answers and direction for treatment.
While I wish I had a clearer timeline for recovery, I’ve learned over the past week that healing isn’t something that can be rushed. Right now, my focus remains on resting, healing, and taking one day at a time.
To my couples, clients, friends, and family—thank you. Your prayers, messages, and encouragement have carried me through some very difficult days. I have read every message, even when I haven’t had the energy to respond.
For my couples awaiting galleries and those with upcoming weddings, please know that you remain on my heart. My goal is still to remain on track with deliveries, but for the moment, my priority is allowing my body the time it needs to recover so I can return and serve you with the care and experience you deserve.
If you need assistance, please continue to email [email protected]. I have someone helping monitor communications and they will be happy to assist while I focus on healing.
Thank you for walking this unexpected path with me.
One day at a time. ❤️
