Why haven’t I blogged since May 2020? Simply, I forgot to, and have been busy. Back in May 2020, the pandemic was in full effect. Photographers were not allowed to work. We were not essential employees. In May 2020, wedding planning got hectic and felt frantic over the summer. Luckily, we had planned a 2021 wedding date, and things went (kind of) as planned.
We all have personal thoughts about 2020 and the pandemic. It was a year, an experience, and something I don’t wish to return to. I’ll leave it there.
Once restrictions slowly, off and on, lifted, I photographed families, and only one wedding that year as a second photographer.
In August 2020, I began a fun journey with the Fargo Editorial Society. It was a way to be around people safely, and creatively. We did monthly editorial fashion photoshoots with different themes. In the (about) year and half that the Fargo Editorial Society was active, I met many lovely people that I still talk to to this day, many business connections, creatively grew, and it mentally helped when things felt uneasy during the pandemic.
Since 2020, I’ve photographed (for my company or as a second) 30+ or so weddings, many model photoshoots, many maternity photoshoots, events, families, a newborn photoshoot and many boudoir photoshoots. I even made my dream trip to WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers Institute) Expo in Las Vegas possible last March. It was amazing to be around other photographers who were positive influences, and classes that helped me grow.
Anywho, over the next few weeks, I’ll try to catch my website’s blog page up on general posts. This was a ‘hey…we’ve all had a life. Here is my general sum up of the last four years…sorry?!’ post. I hope everyone else has grown and had a good four years. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. I keep my social media more up-to-date than my website.
