I have to admit, after last year I was really gearing up for a wild summer/fall in 2024. If you’re reading this post, you probably know that miss Monroe (Roe) and I lost her dad in September of 2023. I basically took the year off to focus on healing and figuring out a whole new life. I spent all winter thinking about the coming year and really appreciating my amazing clients for their patience and support. As summer 2024 approached, I was so excited to jump into senior photos and then family shoots for holiday cards. Unbeknownst to me, my knee had a whole other plan for me. It decided to explode right in the middle of a family session on the beach on June 2nd. I dislocated my knee, fractured my tibia, and tore a ligament. All in 1 step. Twas not fun. After a few weeks wait for the MRI, it was decided I would not undergo surgery, but do (what I felt was) pretty intense physical therapy…but I would be out until September. So that was that. My whole summer, a few weddings, and a whole bunch of fun out the window. I’m super thankful for my mom, Monroe, and friends for their help while I was laid up and also for their patience with me because I complained…a lot. 

Cut to September 1st. Officially back in business! I started out strong with an amazing surprise proposal for the cutest couple. It was so fun to see her reaction and their excitement. She said yes, obviously. Once I saw my knee was ready for fun again, I was super psyched for the coming seniors over that next month.
