As an adult, I don’t particularly get into the holidays as much as I did when I was a child. There isn’t the same sense of wonder and magic. It’s also the busiest time of year for me (I had a family session yesterday, on Christmas Eve). I’m also very aware that the holidays are not wonderful for everyone. There are a lot of people that don’t have family, friends, a roof over their head, etc. This time of year brings up a lot of depression and anxiety in many. There is no rule that says that you have to be happy and celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas or Hanukkah or any other holiday.
This is where I feel truly lucky. I’m working right up until being with my family, I suffer from anxiety and some depression, and I feel like I’m not getting any time for myself, but…I’m happy as hell. That’s a lot for me to be able to say that. I know a lot of that is because of you, my clients. A big part of my self worth comes from my business, it comes from holding time still for you. It always sounds clichè, but I couldn’t do any of this without you. You keep my passion alive. You keep me believing in myself and my business. You’ve kept my doors open and a fire in my belly for over 10 years.
Thank you for not only believing in my art, but also that you’re worthy of encapsulating your memories for generations. Thank you for trusting me with moments so precious they’ve brought me to tears. Thank you for letting me create albums, wall galleries, and memories with you. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
Happy Holidays to you all.
As a side, I couldn’t feature all of my amazing clients from this year because I’m still editing a few and also haven’t had an ordering session with the others. Oh, and some boudoir clients don’t wish for me to share their images (which I completely respect). But to those clients, I see you and I’m so thankful for you!
