I started my career as a wedding photographer almost 14 YEARS AGO….hard to believe it!
Weddings have been my PASSION as a photographer and I absolutely love that they have taken us all over the world! This has been the backbone of my business for well over a decade!
The truth is, weddings are still my passion and where I believe I thrive the MOST…. But this is also my reality…..
I’ve had 4 babies in 5 years
We’re starting a local micro-school for our kids
And we run a large, THRIVING business
Our life is full and fun and also nothing like it used to be. Our time is more valuable than ever and our children have been a huge catalyst for us to get really clear on what we want In this season of life! We’re learning to embrace flexibility and change in so many new ways!
So you might have seen recently that I have done some family sessions, and I’m not doing as many weddings, and our life looks a little different..
But what does it look like to pivot a very niche business and continue to thrive when life has changed since it started?!
