A little hello from behind the camera…
Hi friends! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. After some time away, I’m so excited to finally say it…
Sweet Bee Studios is coming back!
There are seasons in life when we’re called to slow down, step back, and be fully present where we’re needed most. For me, that meant pulling my photography business back so I could focus on my family.
I had kids in seasons that needed more of me. I had family members I wanted to stand presently beside through some difficult moments. And I had some personal health things that needed my attention.
As much as I love my clients and the work I was doing, I knew in my heart that I couldn’t give the time, energy, and devotion that is so deserved while my focus was being pulled elsewhere.
So I stepped back. And I’m so grateful I did. Because sometimes stepping back isn’t giving up on something you love, it’s making room to return to it with a fuller heart and a clearer purpose.
While I was away, I felt the absence of photography deeply. There was a creative void in my life and a space where the connection, creativity, and joy of serving my clients had once been. I missed it more than I can express but I had to trust the timing of life.
And now, we’re entering a new season. All of our kids are in college or adulting, and this new empty-nest life is giving me something I haven’t had in a long time, space and time to be creative again. Space to slow down, reconnect with my passion, and be intentional with the people I am blessed to serve.
I’m so excited to return, not just because I’m picking up my camera again, but because I’m coming back with a renewed appreciation for this work and the memories I get to help preserve within our community.
I want your photography experience to feel like more than just showing up, smiling for the camera, and going home.
I want to capture the little things you never want to forget, the belly laughs, the messy hair, the way your kids reach for you, the personalities that change far too quickly, and the moments that somehow become your favorite memories.
Because as I have personally experienced, these seasons don’t last forever. And that’s exactly why I love photography.
So, after a little step back, I’m ready to pick up my camera again and I couldn’t be more excited.
Sweet Bee Studios is officially back up and fully running and I would absolutely love to capture your family in this beautiful, imperfect, fleeting season of life.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for all the years you have cheered me on and supported me. And thank you for trusting me with your memories.
Here’s to a new season, a full heart, and lots of beautiful moments waiting to be captured.
Sweet Bee Studios is back and there’s so many great things ahead that I can’t wait to share with you!
