It’s hard to believe we have finally made it to 2021 - one year ago today, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and the world shut down. This one year has felt like 5 to me. With so many curveballs and unknowns it has certainly been a tough year to navigate. While my photography business took a huge hit (like many other small business’)…every part of me was tested.
I learned it’s incredibly difficult to work hard to save my business and keep it afloat all while being a 2nd/3rd grade virtual learning instructor for my son while at the same time, making sure his emotional and mental health stayed “in check” (as well as my own) while the world was turned upside down. I learned it’s okay, in fact, vital to take the time for self-care. I learned I’m really good at organizing every closet/cupboard/dresser/drawer when I actually have the time and I learned that I’m pretty darn good at Mario Kart Racing.
I am forever thankful for all of you, my friends, family and clients, because without your continued support, my business would not be here today. Words cannot express my true gratitude for all of you – I love what I do and I cannot wait to get back to it full time as we slowly move forward to “normalcy”.
Going in to this year, my focus will remain the same – fill my cup with the every day little joys. I wish you all a happy, healthy, joy-filled 2021 and I cannot wait to see (and photograph!) your smiling faces in person, very soon! With love and immense gratitude - Stephanie
