Chasing slow.
I read a book with that title this year but even before I read it I knew that's what I've been craving: Slow. Less. Peace. Doesn't this picture make you feel so peaceful? Ah! I am actually ready for snow. This was from a year or two ago.
It has been a difficult couple of years and especially this year with health issues with my son and my Mom battling cancer. Praise God things are going well for the most part with them but there is still a journey ahead.
As I've gone through another very busy fall season, I know I cannot keep that pace if I want to keep my peace. I need more space to be home in the evenings and on the weekends, and to spend these last precious years with my family all at home. My oldest is in the eighth grade and the years seem to tick by a little faster.
With all that said, I'm not going anywhere and I'll still be doing photography, but I know when fall rolls around again I will be taking on significantly less, probably half the sessions I normally do. My family time and mental health are worth more than any amount of money this little business generates. And won't God continue to provide for us in every season? He has never let me down and He never will.
My availability remains the same otherwise as the rest of the year isn't usually too busy. :) Just a heads up for later on. Change is inevitable and after many months of feeling the pull to step back a bit, I know it's the right thing for me to do.
I pray you each have a wonderful year! Thank you for all of you who continue to support me after a decade of doing this! Just a mom doing what she loves to try and bless others. 🥰
