As a virtual assistant for photographers, I have made it my personal mission to normalize rest in the photography industry. I spent too many years running in circles, burning myself out because I didn’t prioritize my rest. It’s still something I have to remind myself to do. And do I still have a super busy schedule? YES. Absolutely! I’m NOT saying that we just have this casual, laid-back vibe always. But what does need to become normal is taking breaks before you’re done.

The biggest lesson is life itself, and nothing can prepare you for parenting + entrepreneurship because every kid is different. Every business owner is different. Every situation is different. One thing I do know is you can do it. If i went back in time and give myself some advice about balancing kids as a photographer this is what I would say!
