I Want To Tune In!

Coming back from India I have been knocking out a ton of to-do’s that have accumulated over the last two weeks, doing a quarterly refresh AND planning for the upcoming year! I was wondering if I wanted to still put together this blog post because it is a decent bit of work to go through this year’s weddings and to pick out the favorite memories from thousands of heartfelt wedding photos! I tend to get attached to a LOT of them if the length of wedding blog posts are any indication! So just a little warning in advance that this is going to be a MASSIVE blog post but I am so incredibly glad that I went back through each of this year’s weddings!

Although this year has brought SO many incredibly good things in my life directly as a result of going full-time with my photography business, it also brought up a lot of questions and confusion. For over 2 years my singular focus was on going full time with this passion of mine and I hadn’t really dreamed past that milestone moment and what life after would look like! Having hit the goal was incredible and amazing and I wouldn’t change it for a second but it took a LOT of thinking, reflecting, searching and questioning to figure out where to go next and to have that sense of purpose with my work again. Looking back on these pictures though reminds me of how important of a job this is, how these photos and my work will outlast my life entirely and strongly impact so many others in ways that I will never get to witness. It is truly an honor to help build family legacies!

I can’t thank my 2019 and 2020 clients enough for allowing me to do this job which has truly impacted my entire life and I know that will continue to do so for years and years down the road! I have a list that I build on almost every week with things that I am grateful for as a direct result of my business, I’m at #94 and counting 🙂 It has given me the gift of time back with loved ones and that is truly something you can’t trade for anything else in the world! So again, thank you to all my clients and thank you to everyone who has been following along and said a kind word of encouragement along the way, it truly keeps me going despite tough times! Cheers to 2019!!
