Life never follows the course we plan ourselves, but the one that is laid out for us by God our Father. In that, I am very thankful, because if it were left up to me, I am confident that I would mess things up. With that said, I wanted to let you know of some changes I feel the Lord is leading me into regarding my photography business.
As you may know, I had our second son, Asher, about 3 months ago. I had an extremely rough pregnancy, and was limited in my activeness with our eldest son, Brayden. Right after giving birth, I jumped back into my photography business full force with portrait sessions and weddings. Although I love what I do, I feel like this was not healthy for myself or my family. It’s not fair to my boys (Lance included) to spend the majority of my day editing pictures on the computer. God has blessed me with a wonderful family, and I don’t want to neglect them in any way. Although my talent was given to me from above, if I do not balance my life and my priorities, my God given talent does not honor God or my family. Being stretched too thin also effects the quality I am able to give my clients, and I don’t want to sacrifice quality for quantity.
Therefore, I have decided to do what is best for my family and myself. For the foreseeable future, I will no longer be photographing weddings (with the exception of the weddings I have booked for the rest of the year), and I will be limiting my portrait sessions to a maximum of 2 per week. I will still do bridal sessions and engagement sessions. I appreciate all of you who have helped me grow my business by referring your friends and family, and I would still appreciate you passing my name along to those you know who need any type of portraits, with weddings being the only exception.
Thank you for all your support in the past and present. I thank God for all of you, and pray that God will bless you and your family.
With Love,
Kristian Ogden
