Happy New Year - 2025
After the rush of the holiday season, January 1st always feels like taking a breath.
The last few months had been harder than usual. Ongoing health issues in the middle of my busiest season meant I was giving everything I had to my clients and leaving the rest — email, social media, the things I'd normally stay on top of — to wait. Some days I was running on not much more than gratitude and stubbornness.
But in all of it, I was acutely aware of how much I had to be grateful for.
Healthy, happy dogs. Great relationships. A growing business. Good doctors working hard to find answers. And the privilege of doing work that actually matters to me — of working with you and your dogs and your horses, telling and preserving the human-animal stories that make life meaningful.
That last part is not something I take lightly. Not on the hard days, and especially not on the ones that feel easy.
Going into 2025 I was tired in the way that builds up slowly over months. And I was also, genuinely, so glad to be here. Glad to do this work. Glad to be in community with people who love their animals the way I love mine.
Thank you for being part of this. It's truly an honor.
Thank you.
Whether we've worked together or you've simply followed from afar, your support - your likes, your comments, your referrals… even just reading this blog - means so much to me. It reminds me why I love what I do and keeps me inspired to keep creating with purpose.
January is generally a quieter season for photography and I’m using this time to rest, reflect, and dream up what’s next. I have some big ideas for 2025 - I can't wait to share them soon!
