working through a pandemic.

Working through a pandemic…

year 2 of business.

This year I left my normal job to persue my passion and as soon as I left… BOOM, pandemic. Lame huh..

Honestly in the beginning I took some time to myself… I did a lot of cleaning for some reason lol I didn’t schedule any sessions because well I needed some “me time” along with the pandemic starting. After a while I started to feel a little more comfortable booking outdoor maternity sessions, then I took a couple milk bath sessions, of course following rules, quarantining, disinfecting, spacing out sessions and all that. It was nice to start up again. As more and more people wanted sessions I started to feel uneasy. Uneasy knowing the risks, it definitely didn’t feel right to book so many sessions.

I decided to stop.

I’m doing my part for my family

Your family

& the community.

I made the difficult decision to stop.

As I only work with pregnant women, I felt that it would be best not to put them at risk in any way.

With our hospitals being jam packed and our healthcare workers working their asses off to help save people and their families, the least I could do was STOP. STOP doing business, STOP taking photos, STOP meeting people (even with my mask). STOP being out of my house. In reality there’s absolutely no reason for me to be out.

So I stopped.

I know people that are pregnant right now are going through a tough time. I’m very sorry if you weren’t able to have a baby shower, or a gender reveal party, or even take some photos. I’m sorry that this is happening, from the bottom of my heart I know its tough and I know the anxiety is real and we’d all just like to have a bit of normality back. I know there are families that are struggling without jobs, with the passing of family members and loved ones. I’m so so sorry you’re all going through this. 2020 has really been a crazy ride.

I just feel that we all have to DO OUR PART for the SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY.

To help minimize the cases and the interactions with the outside world.

This has been me doing my part.

What I feel is right.

Yes, it’s been a long long time since I’ve booked any session. And yes, that’s how I get paid, but honestly it’s not worth the risk.

Covid is scary, I have healthcare worker friends that I worry about.. I have family that are positive, recovering, and has passed due to covid. It’s really not a joke and we should all help out by

NOT GOING OUT

STAYING AWAY FROM GATHERINGS

WEARING A MASK

As a community, we have to help each other out.

Until I start taking photos again, I’ll share birthy stuff and some positivity. Along with virtual doula support.

I hope you all stay safe & healthy. & I wish you all peace and tranquility.
