Lighthaven Photography is FULL TIME (for the past year, surprise!)
“Mom, Best Job Ever” is what you see on my shirt, while also featuring my camera!
I had my friend Elsa snap these back in March when we were doing a little mama photo swap, thinking soon after I’d post them and it never happened.
However, I took them to share that I went ✨FULL TIME✨ photographer (and mama) in December of 2022. A whole year later, and I am super thankful for all the support and business I have received in the past year without you even knowing this was officially my full time gig!
Although I had practically been operating a full time photography business for almost 4 years before going officially full time, I was also a full time activities director at a fantastic retirement community. Being an activities director was such a rewarding, blessing of a career and there are so many parts of it that I am grateful for and will always miss. I have so much love for the residents and coworkers who so many are like family. Shoutout to you guys! But, this change was for my growing family and flourishing business! I got the blessing of not only being a stay at home mom with this change, but also the chance to really dive in and make this business an exponentially better experience for all the clients I serve. There has been so much chance for growth and updates to my creative experience since the change!
As I am now going into year 2 of being full time, I am excited for all the new & old faces I will capture, and all the fun ideas and things I have to come for this business and passion of mine.
Sincerely, thank YOU for trusting me and wanting me to capture your story! Every like, comment, and booking has gotten me to this point of making this goal come true. Also shoutout to my awesome husband who believes in my talents and is nothing but supportive of my business endeavors.
Looking back on the past year, although I of course miss my coworkers, this change has been great for my family and my motherhood journey to an almost one year old, as well as it’s given me a chance to give more time to all of you – with lots of weddings, families, newborns, seniors, mini sessions and more.
