I’ve rewritten this caption a billion times. Everything I’ve written felt overly formal so I’m just winging it here, bear with me 🙃
I’ve decided not to book any weddings for the year of 2022 and indefinitely. I’ve set dates to open up bookings for next year so many times and every time I pushed it off because I didn’t feel at peace about it. I’m taking that as a sign that it’s the best thing for me to do at this point.
I shot my first wedding at age 15 and I’m now 25. I struggle with guilt about pivoting already because I’m so young but when I think about it, I’ve been working at this for almost 10 years, through the most formative time of my life. I want to listen to myself and accept that this doesn’t mean I’m giving up, it just means I’m moving on. Ultimately this decision boils down to prioritizing my mental health and pursuing new things I’ve dreamt of for a long time.
I found a huge passion in helping photographers to reach their business and personal goals this past year through . I can only see this decision benefitting Grit as I’ll have the time and energy to put into it that I’ve wanted to since we started. I’m ready to take the experiences I’ve had over the past several years and pass them onto creatives who are ready to make moves in their businesses and lives.
Because of wedding photography I’ve met some of my favorite people ever, traveled to incredible places, and learned more than I could ever sum up in words. I’ve worked for some wonderful couples and I’m grateful for everyone who has placed their trust in us. We still have a good bit of weddings this year and we’re excited to serve those couples well and go out with a bang!
Good news is I’m keeping my camera and I’m still down to shoot your cute little coupley moments. I’m also about to go offff with bo***ir because that’s my fave thing ever.
I love this little insta community and I hope you’ll still stick around through this shift because I still want to grow alongside you all. Thanks for making me comfy enough to be real and informal here because I just don’t know how else to do it.
Here’s to new adventures! ✨
