If you noticed, I’ve been taking a step back and really prioritizing my personal life. What I want it to feel like, what I want it to be like, not just how it looks from the outside. Moving forward, I’m choosing to prioritize myself and my family in a way I haven’t before. That means a few changes.

I will no longer be answering Instagram messages. Email will be the best way to reach me, and those will be answered Monday–Friday between 10:00 and 3:00. Instagram posts will be shared when I have the time and energy, not on a constant or pressured schedule. I don’t want to set up scheduled posts. I want each post to be meaningful and feel in the moment and intentional.

My children are young (almost 5! Can you believe it?) and I only get one chance to watch them grow up. I want to be present for them. Not distracted, not constantly on my phone, not stretched thin, and not feeling pulled in a hundred directions.

In March, I’ll be at Costco for 16 years, and I have zero intention of leaving. It’s a part of my life that grounds me, offers constancy, and that is not something I'm willing to give up.

The pressure of always posting on social media is something I’m choosing to step away from. What once felt fun and creative began to feel heavy and forced, and I’m no longer willing to acknowledge that pressure. I also don’t want to become robotic and automated. So I’m choosing to keep it fun on my end and something I’m not dreading everyday.

Another factor in this shift is how social media platforms limit the reach of my work. My posts are often restricted, hidden, or blocked from being shared because of their content. Even when my work stays within platform rules, visibility still gets reduced. Over time, creating under constant monitoring has drained the joy from sharing. I do not want to build or maintain a presence where my work feels policed or muted.

Another change worth sharing is my studio. I moved into a new space with lower overhead, which reduced my cost of doing business. Because of this, pricing will be lower in 2026. I will also be limiting availability to two clients per month. This supports a slower, more intentional workflow and protects time for family while still offering a high level of care and attention for each session.

This isn’t a goodbye, and it isn’t a disappearance. It’s simply me choosing a pace and presence that feels sustainable, healthy, and aligned with the life I want to live.

Thank you to those who continue to support me. I’m confident in this choice. I’m grateful and looking forward to the space it will create.
