An End to 2019 – Newborn Photographer – Okotoks Alberta

Dallas Newborn Photographer

2019 was an amazing and scary year for me and my business! I started off the year teaching preschool and I absolutely loved my little class of 3 and 4 yr olds. But I wasn’t able to focus all my attention on my business. I worked 3 days a week and the other 2 I was lesson planning! At the end of the school year we found out that our little school was closing – while this was a sad chapter in our lives, it also opened the doors for me to focus 100% of my energy back into my photography business.

And let me tell you – I jumped in with 2 feet and there are some days where I feel like I’m drowning and others where I feel like I’m floating along in a giant inflatable unicorn sipping on a margarita and loving my life!

I opened up my studio in September! I was moving out of my home studio and into a dedicated studio space where I didn’t have to worry about what my house looked like when clients came over and stopped worrying about how many ‘guests’ my clients brought a long with them. I love my studio! I have a waiting area for the parents to hang out in and a large shooting area where I can finally start offering milestone and maternity sessions! It’s a dream come true!

Since I was able to focus all my attention on my business I booked almost double the number of babies that I did last year and it’s amazing! I even got to see a couple of my favorite clients for babies number 2 and 3s!

With all that said, I want to thank all my clients from 2019 for such an amazing year and for coming back to me and trusting me to capture all these great memories for you. I’m hoping to offer more family and chirstmas sessions next year!
