One of the hardest things I’ve learned as a DV survivor is that just because I’m capable of surviving something doesn’t mean I have to keep choosing it.

I have PTSD. I’ve spent years healing, doing the inner work, rebuilding my life, and learning the difference between something that challenges me and something that costs me my peace.

So when I say, “I’m not doing stranger sessions anymore,” that decision didn’t come lightly.

I started stranger sessions because I wanted to create happiness. Fun. Connection. Maybe even love.

And the actual sessions? They were AMAZING. Both days were genuinely so much fun.

But what happened afterward was stressful and turned out very differently than I had hoped.

So I listened to myself.

I stopped.

Not because I failed.
Not because I’m scared.
Not because strangers on the internet get to decide what I should do.

Because I am allowed to change my mind.

I’m heading into my busiest season, and stranger sessions require a LOT of work outside of taking the photos—applications, screening, matching, communication, planning, and coordinating two complete strangers.

And I didn’t take deposits. I didn’t make commitments to anyone. I have zero obligation to continue offering something that I’ve decided isn’t right for me right now.

And to the people leaving hate on my more popular videos because I said I’m no longer offering them…

This applies to so much more than photography.

If something doesn’t bring you happiness anymore, you can stop doing it.

If it doesn’t turn out how you expected, you can walk away.

If something starts costing you more peace than it gives you joy, you can choose something different.

You don’t owe the internet consistency at the expense of your own well-being.

You don’t owe strangers an explanation.

And you don’t have to keep doing something just because everyone else enjoyed watching you do it.

You are allowed to outgrow things.
You are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to protect your peace.

And after everything I’ve survived, I’m not going to apologize for doing exactly that.

Love you all. 🤎
Stay safe.

I may do them again soon but it has to be organic. Xoxo
