MY REASONS
Every story is shaped by the people (and fur babies) that walk through life with us.
Before you turn this last page, I would like to thank the ones who have quietly filled my story with love, encouragement, laughter, toe beans, and unwavering support.
To Glenn (My harrier half)-- Thank you for believing in this dream even on the days where my imposter syndrome is in full swing, and I have questioned everything. Thank you for celebrating the wins, and every milestone with me. Thank you for always reminding me why it is always worth chasing what sets your heart on fire. None of this life would feel as meaningful without you beside me.
To Bella, LouLou, Nebula, Nimbus, Casper, and October, thank you for the constant reminders to slow down and find joy in the little moments. Thank you for always being the best part about coming home. Thank you for assisting me in creative direction, even when you walk across the keyboard and knock the mouse off of my desk in true menace to society fur baby fashion. You may not understand cameras (unless they are throwing treats or pointing lasers for you to play with) and you may not understand editing deadlines, but you have mastered the art of unconditional love and companionship.
to my clients
And finally, to every client who has trusted me with your memories-- thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your lives, thank you for allowing me to cheer for each milestone you hit, or be your biggest hype girl just because. It is an incredible honor and privilege to preserve pieces of your story and get to know you on a deeper human level. I will never take that privilege for granted.
This chapter of my life would not exist without all of you.
