In the meantime….

Hey there, folks!

Here’s some fun news for you – I’ve embarked on a full-time university adventure! 📚✨

Initially, I had grand plans to master the art of balancing full-time academics, a persistent daily migraine, and running my photography business all at once. Unfortunately, my pesky migraine had other ideas, making it clear that three’s a crowd in this scenario. So, what is my game plan, you wonder?

Well, I refuse to do my degree over six years! Instead, I’ve decided to focus on my studies during semesters and reserve my photography magic for the breaks. I’m fortunate to have some wonderfully patient clients who totally get the student hustle, but I’m not about that “wait two months for your photos” life. 📷

So, here is the plan moving forward: My studio is throwing open its doors on November 5th, and I’ll be in full photography swing until the end of February. Then, I’ll close the doors again until June, pick up the pace again until July 23rd, and take another short hiatus until November. 📆

I’ll still be snapping away for some competitions in between and I am brainstorming these cool pop-up sessions here and there, as long as I can deliver that client magic on time. 🌟

Now, with these limited windows of opportunity, if you’re itching to book a session, I’d suggest jumping in early because my calendar will only have so many spots to spare during those times. 🗓️

Oh, and speaking of multitasking (I mean, I am a student, after all), I’ve curated not one, but two playlists to keep me company during my study sessions: “The Chill Study Music” for those Zen moments and “Shit! My Assessment Is Due Tomorrow” for those last-minute adrenaline-fueled study sessions. Two vibes, one student playlist aficionado! 🎶📝

So, there you have it, the lowdown on my university venture and photography game plan. Thanks for being awesome and understanding, and I can’t wait to capture some amazing moments with you in the Studio soon! 📸✨

My Chillout Study Playlist - there is a lot of mix in this as my ADHD brain gets really bored when doing one thing. I found keeping the playlist really broad helps keep my brain on track when studying now (great little tip for any other fellow ADHD’ers out there!) Also, play this list on shuffle!
