āSometimes moving forward means stepping back.ā
This hasnāt been an easy post to make. Itās actually been weighing on me for the last couple of weeks. After some recent realizations, I know some changes need to be made in order for me to grow, both personally and professionally.
Iāve decided to step back from photography in a pretty big way. š¤
Iāll still be offering weddings, engagement sessions, branding shoots and seasonal minis, and Iāll absolutely honor everything thatās already booked. But starting October 1st, Iāll no longer be booking individual sessions. Iāll be posting fall mini info soon, so be on the lookout if youāve been wanting to book with me. I will host minis occasionally so believe me when I say this isnāt goodbye. Just making necessary changes.
This decision is about more than being busy. I recently started school full-time to pursue something Iāve wanted to do for years, but I never wanted to commit to the timeline.
Every year that passes, I find myself thinking the same thing: āWhy didnāt I just start? I could have been halfway done by now.ā
If I donāt just start, Iāll continue wishing I had. So Iām finally making the change.
Iām still figuring out exactly where this path will take me, but my goal is to become a family and marriage therapist or work in social work. I know I want to build a career where I can help people and make them feel safe and seen.
Iām not stepping away because I donāt love photography. Iām stepping back because I need to make room for whatās coming next and for the person Iām becoming.
And honestly, the future I want is pretty simple: a degree in my hand, a career I love, and work that allows me to genuinely help people.
So this isnāt goodbye. Iāll still be behind the camera, just in a more limited way. š¤
