It’s not ‘goodbye’. It’s ‘see you later’, to our favorite photographer. ❤️ ATR Photography
A Little Heart-to-Heart 💛
For the past six years, photography has been such a huge part of my life. It’s wild to think back to the girl I used to be — shy, insecure, and unsure of her place in the world — and realize how much confidence this journey has given me. Starting a photography business was one of the bravest things I’ve ever done. I put my heart, creativity, and passion out there for people to see (and sometimes judge), and it ended up shaping me into who I am today.
This work has taught me so much — not just about photography, but about people, community, motherhood, and love. I’ve met so many incredible families and couples, learned from each experience, and grown both as an artist and as a person.
But as rewarding as this business is, it also takes a lot of time and energy — often time away from my family. And right now, my heart is telling me to slow down a bit. My kids are at an age where they need me present — not distracted, not rushing from one thing to the next. I’ve realized I want to spend more time simply being with them, creating memories that we’ll all cherish.
I’ll still be fulfilling any contracted sessions, but I’ll be stepping back from social media and taking on new work for the time being. This isn’t goodbye — it’s just a pause to realign and make space for what matters most right now.
I can’t thank you all enough for the support, trust, and kindness you’ve shown me over the years. This journey has been more fulfilling than I could have imagined, and I have no doubt I’ll find my way back when the time feels right — hopefully with an even deeper love for the art that’s given me so much.
