2023
 
🎓
Rowan graduated Pre-K. 🥹
 
📸
 
I left my job and started doing photography full time.
 
☀️
 
Rowan and I had the summer off together for the first time. We had multiple trips to the zoo, lots of swimming, and he even got to ride a horse for the first time!
 
✏️
 
Rowan started Kindergarten in August. 😱
 
📦
 
We moved into a new house! We're super close to Rowan's school, and now we have two bathrooms, which has been awesome.
 
⛱️
 
For vacation this year, we went to Pompano Beach, FL!
 
🗓️
 
I booked a total of 53 sessions this year. (And out of that, I had twenty-two new clients!)
 
🎃
For Halloween, Rowan wanted to be a ghost. I was Jack Skellington, and Isaac was - of course - Deadpool!
💌
 
 
My email list reached 41 subscribers!!! (Go subscribe if you haven't yet!)
 
📚
 
I read a total of 50 books! Some of my favorites were: The War of Lost Hearts trilogy by Carissa Broadbent, The Crowns of Nyaxia duology by Carissa Broadbent (seriously, she's a new favorite fantasy author for me!), The Cat & Mouse Duet by H.D. Carlton (iykyk), The Knockemout trilogy (most specifically "Things We Left Behind") by Lucy Score, and The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros! (If you're a reader on Goodreads, add me!)
here's some of my highlights from year three of photography
