YAY!! Step one… complete!!
For those who don't know, I gave birth to our third child in July and immediately went back to shooting full day weddings just 7 days later... and haven't stopped until now. Insane? Yes. But also incredibly committed to my clients? Also yes.
The 2024 season was also my busiest work season since pre-pandemic times, which I'm so so so freaking grateful for, but my body + brain are begging for a break. Unfortunately, the combined stress of work and postpartum at the same time have left my mental health in shambles.
With that... at now 4 months postpartum, I am taking a maternity + mental health leave until the Spring.
Here's what you can expect from me during this time of healing!
1) My books for sessions are currently closed until the New Year (aside from my holiday minis that were pre-booked for December). My current wedding couples will be firstly prioritized when my books reopen.
2) If you're inquiring for your 2025 wedding, I am still accepting two more dates until I'm at my cap for the season!
3) If you're looking for 2026 availability, I have yet to open my books. My 2026 books will open within the next few weeks but I am accepting waitlist requests :)
4) My office/admin time will be very limited. If you don't hear from me for a week or two, I'm not ignoring you! I'm just trying to find balance between mental health, parenting and self employment.
Thank you so much for understanding + we'll chat soon!
