Will the real train wrecks please stand up? A Blog post for you. Jackson Michigan Photographer

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

You miss your alarm clock, so now you are late to work.

You spill coffee on yourself in the car.

Your whole day feels like a massive failure of your To Do List.

You get out of work late and are late to pick up children from daycare or school

There is no food in the house, so you order a pizza and finally get the  food on the table way later than a normal dinner time.

After a struggle, you get all kids bathed, PJs on and in bed.

You sit down just long enough to realize the dogs got in the trash...ALL OVER YOUR KITCHEN.

You think to yourself "This day was a train wreck, a glass of wine won't do, I need the whole bottle!!"

Ok, maybe you don't have all of those happen in the same day. Or maybe you do.  The point is, somedays you feel like a train wreck.  And I'm here to tell you that it's ok.

Because I'm a train wreck too!!!

 

As a professional photographer, small business owner, mother of two, and type A planner, I know that these train wreck days can derail your entire day, or even week. I'm here to be a train wreck with you and have a place where we can do it together and not let it take over our lives.

My goal is to be a place of inspiration and realization for you.  I don't want to sugar coat it and tell you all happy/lovey stories.  I want to be real with you.  I never understood the point of sugar coating things or beating around the bush.  It may sting a little(or a lot!) to hear the truth or to look inside and really evaluate yourself and your life.  But it will make you stronger.

My passion is to lift people up in a real way. I will try to do this in many forms. It may be a portrait session to give you beautiful photos of yourself  or your loved ones to remind you every day you are amazing.  It may be inspirational quotes that instantly give you a mood boost. I may give you some insider tips in to my work, or my life and things that make it easier.  Or it may be one of my own train wreck stories that just lets you know someone else has been in your shoes.  Whatever it is, I hope that you will follow along on my track.  Not all train wrecks have to be a disaster.  Big or Small, don't let them derail your whole life.  You can make it through and I want to see you succeed.

So if you are someone who is not scared of some tough love, who wants to hear the truth from someone, or just wants to get a pick me up in your day, then come back and join the ride!

"In that very first second you feel like the world is collapsing around you, take a breathe and dig deep, and know that someone has once clawed their way out of a disaster and is there reaching out with a helping hand"
