Pausing & potentially ending Life Lens Photography

What a journey it has been. This business came exactly when I needed it, getting me through a very difficult chapter. It was in my lowest moments that I used photography as a crutch to lift my self esteem, create,& bring me into the joy of my clients lives. I got to live vicariously through others for a while & in that I found hope & comfort & connection. I found my footing again & dug deep to do things that I was afraid of. It helped heal me.

I got to step into your lives, bearing witness to the moments described when people talk about what makes life worth living, it’s those moments I shared with you. Weddings, engagements, BIRTH 🤯, pregnancy, postpartum, family milestones. I shed tears with you & laughed so much. I sat with you during some hard moments & learned about your troubles. I met the people most special to you. I stepped into your homes, your bedrooms, your hospital rooms. I photographed some of the last moments with your loved ones & beloved pets. I got to grow with your family & come back to photograph each new addition. I held your tiny babies & got to see some of their first smiles. I got to travel to places I’ve never been. I made new friends & I got to reconnect with so many old ones. I will NEVER forget it & I am forever thankful for every second. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for letting me in & allowing me to experience every bit of what makes life so magical.

Through this business I’ve learned so much - about being a business owner & about myself. I had imposter syndrome from my first shoot to my last, but each time I proved to myself that not only could I do it, but I could do it well. Most importantly, I learned that I can do anything if my heart is in it. And I’ve come to the difficult conclusion that my heart just isn’t fully in it anymore. My life has changed since I started LLP & I feel like I’m at the start of a new journey. So, I need to create space to allow my evolution into the next chapter & find alignment again.

This is my first passion project but it will not be my last. I don’t know what’s next, but I do know if my heart leads me to it, I can’t go wrong.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

*I will not be booking for the remainder of 2024 & will update you all in 2025 on what photography offerings might be available, if any*

A few from the camera that need a permanent place. Pictures will never do it justice. One of the most beautiful countries in the world, and I had the privilege of experiencing it.

I’m forever grateful for this trip & the man I got to share it with. 🇨🇭

10 years old.

my sweet P. my baby. my protector. my home for all of these years.

getting my own dog at 21, raising her on my own from a 6 pound baby into a 50 pound lovebug, formed a bond hard to describe. 21-31 has been a time of HUGE change and growth. i think we can all say we’re totally different people from our early 20s into our 30s. it’s the time you learn who you are and grow into yourself. it’s when you try and fail, love and experience heartbreak. it’s when the future is so unknown and you’re trying to figure it out … but, for me, there’s been one constant. Piper.

she’s been with me in many different homes, relationships, jobs, periods of grief, periods of happiness. she’s been there for 10 years greeting me when I get home with a wagging tail, toy in her mouth, and excited growl. she’s snuggled me to sleep many nights, and soaked up many tears. she’s been my shadow for 10 years.

so today, I sit in gratitude for her and all she’s given me. i also sit in sadness knowing our time together is limited and likely nearing the end, or least the latter part of our journey together. she’ll never know what she’s done for me.

happy birthday my sweet Piper girl. i love you endlessly. 🤍

I had the best time photographing this intimate Airlie wedding! These two were a blast to spend time with & so fun to photograph. Their love is palpable. I feel so lucky to get to do this!

I love this sweet little family 🤍

It’s one of my greatest joys to see my long time friends become Moms. Each is incredible in their unique way, with such love for their babies. And I get to share in that love! I mean how could you not love these sweet faces?!

It’s an honor to photograph my people & their love.
