A little reminder to be gentle with your photographers during this busy season. 🤎
May through December is one of the busiest times of the year for me, and while you may only see the sneak peeks of the beautiful memories I share, there are SO many hours of work happening behind the scenes that most people never see. Early mornings working, back-to-back sessions (I’ve had one everyday for the last 2 months), answering messages, uploading galleries, backing up files, late nights editing and trying to keep up with an already packed calendar. It does not end when the session is over. And the reality is, photography isn't my only job. Some of us are moms juggling our own families, my own daycare, school schedules, and everything that comes with motherhood. Some of us are doing all of the above while still trying to give every single client the time and attention. I am working around the clock to make sure your families have beautiful photos to look back on for years to come. I am pouring hours of my time, creativity, and energy into delivering something meaningful to you, even when I am exhausted and running on very little sleep myself. So please, be patient with me. Remember that there's a real person behind the camera, a real person sitting behind that computer editing your images, and a real life happening outside of the business, too. I completely understand how exciting it is to receive your photos. I get excited about delivering them just as much! But, a little grace, kindness, and understanding during this season goes a LONG way. Trust the process, respect the turn around times, and know that I haven't forgotten about you or your memories. I am simply working my way through a very full season, one gallery at a time. Your patience allows me to give your memories the attention they deserve, and I appreciate it more than you know! Thank you to every client who supports me, trusts my work, and gives me grace during the busiest months of the year. I see you, I appreciate you, and I am so grateful you're here.
Signed, a photographer, who edits during nap time everyday and after everyone else has gone to bed.
