This is a hard post for me to write, y’all.

The last few years of my life have been pretty hard on me. I’ve gone through a lot of serious personal trials that have drastically changed me as a person.

I’m not the person I used to be.

The last 3 years, especially, have been particularly hard on me. I’ve done a lot of praying and soul searching, and despite being severely burnt out, I kept pushing myself to work on this business because I felt like I needed to. Financial issues and the anxiety that comes along with that drove me to do way too much, and as a result of that, I lost my passion for things that used to light my soul on fire. I thought if I got back to doing things I used to really love- like photography and logo design- I would find my spark again, but no. I thought updating my branding and getting a fresh look would help, but no.

It’s been sad to realize how much the last few years have changed me, but it’s also opened my eyes to some things- the things that truly matter to me, and the things I need to focus on.

I am closing the business portion of this site down, for good. This is not an easy decision for me, but it’s necessary. This site will remain up as an online portfolio of my work, but I am no longer going to offer my services as a freelance graphic designer and photographer. I feel like God is calling me to take a different direction, and I have to answer the call.

I want all of you who have supported me over the years to know how much I deeply appreciate you and the love you have shown my little business; each one of you was an answered prayer. You have helped me provide for my family and make wonderful memories, of which I am so very thankful.

This is the end of a chapter, but not the end of the story. Thank you for being part of one of my life’s most wonderful chapters. ♥
