change & greeting card books
I think it's time for a little re-introduction. My name is Emily & I was a wedding photographer for 17 years. When it hit me that day in grad school that I could make a career out of wedding photography, I never imagined that I would be doing it for as long as I did. I have always loved weddings, & still do. But, over the years, as I had kids, it became harder & harder to put "the right" amount of time & energy into my business. Every time I came back from maternity leave, work seemed more like a chore than a fun job. Please don't think that I didn't put my best into every couple that came my way, because I did & they were all the absolute sweetest & best to work with.
I've been saying for years that I'm retiring, but never really made it official until this past year. I had two weddings last year & things seemed to peter out on their own. Once I put it in writing in my Christmas letter, it seemed like it was finally a thing I was doing.
So, what now? Great question! I myself didn't really know until recently. I have a few things I've been rolling around in my mind, & now that my youngest is almost 18 months old & we're coming up on the 1st anniversary of being in our new home, I feel like I finally have the brain capacity to figure out the whats & hows.
In the meantime, send me your cards. If you’ve been searching for a way to save your greeting cards, I'd love to turn them into something you can pull off the shelf & enjoy. If you're overwhelmed with the process, ask me for help.
Why is change so hard?
