The “new” @instagram is not made for work/life The “new” @instagram is not made for work/life balance.  I’m not a content creator and many of us on here are not either. We simply want to use this space to create work we’re proud of and share it with people who relate to us.  I’ve watched my community and support here grow in the past, but now Instagram is slowly chipping away at it with self-interests and profits in mind. If they listened to their users, they would realize how damaging the changes they’re making are to small businesses in particular.

We’re now being forced to churn out content and interact here at an inhuman pace to keep our community and businesses alive.  Not only does this lead to a decrease in quality of work but it also puts constant stress/ anxiety on most of us which pulls our attention away from our families and living a healthy lifestyle. A majority of the artists and vendors on this space are now working harder than ever to be seen and sustained. Instagram knows that we invested so many years into this platform and we depend on it heavily now. What can we do at this point? I don’t have an answer but I had to share what I’ve been feeling lately to let others know they’re not alone.  I’ll continue to share my work here, but I won’t sacrifice my mental health and the time I need to spend with the people I love to keep Instagram satisfied. 

To my community here, I appreciate all of your support through the years. What I do is made possible by all of you and it means the world to me. 

Life is short and time with the people you love slips away quickly.  I’ve been caught in this web of pouring all of myself into my business because I’m incredibly passionate about what I do and we’re all driven to do our best… but I don’t want to look back on my life and say the only thing I cared about was how successful I was as a photographer.  No amount of work or accolades will ever replace the feeling of getting hugs from my boys.

A few images here that bring me peace of the wonderful Eddie and Scarlet.
The connection and story between these two is some The connection and story between these two is something I have a hard time finding words for… but then again I’ve never been good with words…

Looking forward to finally documenting their wedding very soon.
