Life Happens, and That’s OK!

You know a lot of us spend our entire lives trying to plan things out for our future, always fussing over what tomorrow will bring and sometimes that means pushing ourselves to a breaking point. Don’t take me the wrong way but I’ve always said “life has a funny way of putting us exactly where we need to be”, sometimes I even have to remind myself that life is what’s happening while you’re busy planning things out.

I needed to step away for a short while from this adventure, I needed to look after myself and sometimes you can only give so much of yourself to any given situation. I knew that taking a step back from this business is what was best for me at the time. I knew that I wanted to be able to give 110% to what I’ve been working so hard to create here. I didn’t want to belittle my business by not being able to produce my best work and give my clients anything but an exceptional experience. So I took a step back, did a little soul searching if you want to call it and reminded myself that no matter what this life throws at me I’m allowed to do things for myself and it’s ok if not everyone agrees with the way I do things. It’s okay if I’m not everyone’s cup of tea or if they can’t understand all I bring to the table. I started this journey for myself, no one else. This was about chasing something I truly love doing, and I’m going to see it threw.

Although I’ve been a little silent on all my platforms I haven’t stopped working away at what I love. I’ve been taking this time to grow as a photographer, a designer and a person.

I took the opportunity to try some things I’ve never really done. I’ve always stuck to what I know because it worked for me, but I took the chance to let myself fail and learn along the way. I took a shot at settling up my new trip of and taking some self portraits with my dogs. I changed all the settings on my camera and read the manual about how to actually use settlings I didn’t even know my camera had. Who know!?

I not only took the chance to work on my realtionship with my camera but i also took the time to step outside my normal when it came to my editting and design work as well! I am still working on finding my style and my signature look, so by stepping outside my normal I am really starting to see all the things I am capable of and starting to fall in love with the products I have been able to produce.

This edit it something a little different then my normal but I’m loving everything about it! I can’t wait to be able to create this type of art for future clients, along with these types of images I have also invested in an upgraded design program to be able to offer logos and advertisements in the very near future.

I really can’t express how excited I am to be able to bring more to my business, this small rest period was something I truly think I needed. Id like to thank every single person who has continued to support me even I’m my silence. 2021 is going to be a great year for my little business, I can just feel it!

The moral of the story is never feel bad for taking time to take care of yourself, your mental health is so important, you owe it to yourself to be the person you need.

Cheers to another year of growth.
