We were surprisingly pleased when my in laws reached out with an offer we could NOT refuse. Needless to say, there is a house in Tampa and a pickup truck waiting for us. (AHHHHH!!!) Our move date is July 20th. FOUR a days prior to my 33rd birthday.

Smack dab in the middle of hurricane season. And 14 days before school starts for my biggest. I’m SUPER excited, but also scared shitless. I’ve spent the better part of a decade building my network here in Chicago. Now to uproot and move to an entirely new place with no one I know and no one who knows me.

What’s worse, I’m leaving behind those wonderful people who ARE in my network. ☹️

Anyone from the Tampa area? Give me a shout out!! My Chicago peeps... let’s put together at least ONE more great shoot!! I’m thinking about booking an Airbnb for a shootout/final celebration.
