I bet you’re getting a bunch of “how are you doing?” and “checking in” emails from people and businesses you probably forgot you subscribed to.

Everyone is sending them out right now, and I did not want to add to that noise (even though I really DO want to know if you are doing alright.

But I’m going to be vulnerable now and let you in on how I’ve been feeling.

Last week was tough. I felt overwhelmed and in a funk. I couldn’t find motivation.

I JUST DIDN’T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING.

I wanted to stop. Stop the thinking. The planning. The coffee chats. The webinars. In the grand scheme of things, is taking a bunch of pretty pictures really meaningful?

So I took some time to just be.

And what did I discover? It’s more than taking a bunch of pretty pictures.

• It’s the impact & change that happen to the women AFTER their portrait session.

• The way she walks out the door feeling so great that she wants to go out and celebrate herself, and it’s not just the makeup.

• It’s the story she tells about how she has more confidence at work and at home (but she doesn’t know why).

• It’s the way she talks about herself and her legacy and understanding WHY these portraits are so important – not just for her, but to be remembered. To be part of the photos that her children and grandchildren can go through and see themselves in their grandparents, their aunts, their great-grandparents and tell their stories. TO EXIST to these generation.

And you know what happened? The next day, I woke up and I began to create. Not just a plan for helping more women to re-discover themselves, but for me.

You’ll begin to see new things from me. And I’m so excited.

FOR YOU- if you are having a moment, a difficult time, or feel like you are in a funk- it’s OK to take some time to chill. It’s uncomfortable not knowing what is next, especially as it has to do with your livelihood.

Give yourself some grace.

I’m rooting for you.
