8 months & 21 days

It’s been 8 months & 21 days since I last posted my work.

What started as a quiet pull to comparison ended with a big fat break from posting my work.

It wasn’t planned. I just found myself creeping toward less & less. A slow burn towards intentionality, purpose & a slight brand identity crisis.

After I closed my studio, I felt like my brand lost its direction.

I felt like the things I was working towards were suddenly taken off the table. Like my purpose with The Soul Society had somehow diminished.

Maybe this wasn’t my purpose?

Enter heavy doubt with a side of burnout.

After my business found its new normal, I’ve been in this state of limbo. Feeling this insane pull to the brand but also feeling so lost on where to step next.

Let’s rewind to day 1.

When I landed on the name for my business, I had a crisp sense of direction. Literally nothing could have convinced me this wasn’t my purpose in life.

(This feeling is still deep rooted)

But somewhere between life, motherhood, comparison & all the other crap - my photography slipped into

“What they want to see” instead of “what I want to see”

I found myself content with blending in with all the other photo accounts. This is where I sat for a while. Yikes.

So while ditching Instagram for the past 8 months & 21 days was completely unplanned & unintentional,

Here’s where we are now.

2025 was filled with weddings, baptisms, families, babies, anniversaries, creative portraits, proposals, branding, first birthdays, & parties. A little bit of everything, just the way I like it.

But what you didn’t see was the quiet in-betweens.

The part where I met people that shifted the way I live.

The stories I heard that shaped the way I do business now.

The people that set my compass north again.

I told myself January 1 was the reason to post.

A new year, a perfect reason to jump back in. Except, I didn’t have the words.

Until, today I did.

I spit out these words faster than I drink my morning coffee.

I’ve given space to curiosity just long enough to remember why I started in the first place.

& what comes next? I cant wait to find out ✨✨
