Whooaaaa………. does any one feel like this year felt like 5 years?! So many changes for the world, not just here in Maine. The way the year started is very different then how it had ended. It started that I wanted to get back to shooting everything and getting back to normal life. But ending the year, I have decided to notch down to what really makes my heart sing and makes my clients happy.
Working on the Boudoir experience is something was on my mind alot. In doing so, I needed to discontinue some services that I was offering. One of which being Newborns. Like I said before, My door is always open for a good snug session, because lord knows that baby smell makes me need to take my ovaries off the ledge haha. But It is not my niche, I truly realized that my “super power” is making women and couples feel confident. The connection we have with others.
As women most of us devote our lives to our children and forget to love ourselves or our passion with our partner. I’m not saying that I’m perfect with that in my own life, but one of favorite things I do in my life is being a cheerleader for others! So expanding that experience was more important to me than snuggling babies and getting them to look perfect (I can’t believe i just said that).
To close out the year and start another, I am closing my studio space, in the hopes to expand to something I think will be soul-ly mine. I had to remember why I started this business and what my mission is. I started this business because I love the freedom that it gave my creativity and I could be there more for my children, and somewhere along the lines this year I lost that.
I did more seniors this year, then I have in years past. I will low key be offering them, but with changes to pricing and packages. Whenever I shoot ya’ll make me feel so old and not hip anymore haha. I guess I should keep doing them to keep me young!
I slowly got back to doing some weddings in 2021 as well, which will continue to be a service I offer but Limited! SO if you thinking weddings for 2022 and 2023, reach out to get your dates booked.
This years goals………is to make this a whole experience and taking unapologetic risks, for both my clients and my family. I found myself in 2021 holding back, because I was looking for perfection the first time. Thats not what life is about, and it kept me back from growing how I wanted to.
Don’t live your life in fear loves. Heres to 2022!
