Ten years ago this weekend, I had a full Saturday of Fall Mini Sessions at Weston Bend State Park. My calendar was full of sessions & editing took up most of my time at home. I was very thankful for the opportunity to capture so many folks and their families.
The next day, I found my mom after she fell.
For WischDesigns, I had to make some adjustments to sessions & gallery expectation times. Clients understood & I appreciated that so much. I was able to spend most of my time with her those last few months.
After she passed that next January, I didnāt rush right back into anything. If youāve ever lost someone important to you, you know that you donāt just get over it. Grieving takes time & itās different for everyone & every situation.
A lot has happened in the last 10 years. And while WischDesigns has made a few changes, itās still very much a big part of my life. But I donāt stay up late, into the morning hours editing. I donāt schedule when I know my kids will be all together. And I just donāt have a lot of time to post on social media due to the time it takes to create & prepare the images.
When I put the information out this fall about mini sessions, I was hoping for two, maybe three sessions.
The response I got was overwhelming.
I may not get all the previews posted or the reels flashing in front of you on social media. And while I realize this image is a picture of a gorgeous Cottonwood from my phoneā¦.(peep the thumb in the frame, which my mom was famous for so Iām sure sheād appreciate that āŗļø), Iām still very much still out here capturing all the beautiful moments.
As I wrap up this weekend & send previews out to all the families I saw this weekend, Iām so very thankful for all my past & present clients, this WischDesigns community, & my family.
And I just wanted to say THANK YOU. ā¤ļø
