Taking A Break

Anybody who knows me, knows how much I love Photography, and how much I love sharing my passion with others. This week Jaden started kindergarten and there was a huge realization in my house. I can't squeeze anymore hours into a day. It's time that I face a reality that I've been hiding from for the last few months. I will not be booking any more sessions. I hope that in the new year we'll have adjusted to the many changes and I can open my doors for business once again. My family needs some time to adjust to our move, and adjust to a school routine, as well my baby is only 4months old. If I had to work, I would. But we are fortunate that we can live on Rene's income alone. Don't think you won't see my carrying my camera, because I am not letting that baby go.....but I won't be able to offer sessions until further notice. I appreciate all my past customers, and all the wonderful families that I get to work with this month. I will be fulfilling all booked sessions. This was an extremely tough decision to make, but one that is best for me and my family. You can always reach me through email photographybyadrienne@hotmail.com or at home 780-798-3642
I will continue to share on my blog, through journal entries and photographs. There will be a lot of sneek peaks in the next month, so please don't forget to drop in.
Please Note: All gift certificates and weddings will obviously be GLADLY fulfilled and I look forward to those sessions!
xoxo
luv adrienne

Oh that's too bad for your fans Adrienne, but believe me, I totally understand. I'm learning there is a lot of extra work that comes with this photography, behind the scenes, and it can come at a price. Tough decision but I'm sure it's the right one for you and your family.

Looking forward to your next leg of your journey! Enjoy the family time!

Thx Heather :) I'm not quitting, not selling anything......this is temporary until we have a few more things settled in our lives. SO many changes at once, and I would really love to do it all, but I can't. Thank you for all your comments and kind words. I love reading your blog btw, keep it up :) If you ever need to chat, you know where to find me! :)

Adrienne, I'm sorry to hear this news as a fan, but TOTALLY get it as a mom. And the next six months will FLY by & you'll be ready to go again. You will appreciate your time off. We will all look forward to your return when you & your family are ready! Your work is GREAT, and therefore, the people will be happy to wait for you!

Good luck, Terri :)

Don't worry Adrienne, I still think you're a rockstar... just having three kids alone and staying out of the loonie bin is enough to qualify as a rockstar in my books! I totally commend you for taking this step and putting your family first, it says a lot, and demonstrates that your priorities are in the right place. As for your photography, you're getting too damn good anyways... don't forget to take some time in the next 6 months just to "soak up" every thing you've accomplished over the past couple of years, you are SO talented...

Cheers, Chantal Dube-Menard

Good for you Adrienne...I think you are such a strong person to make that kind of decision...so many people forget about themselves and I applaud you for recognizing that sometimes we all just need to step back and enjoy the present moment, as opposed to being so consumed with everything around us that it just slips by. Time goes by fast enough, that sometimes we have to do what we can to work against it. And photography can be so demanding on a person that what started out as a beloved passion can turn into something we (shall I dare say it...) may possibly resent? I know it would never get to that point for you I am sure, however it takes many hours of editing, sorting, organizing photographs etc. that I do not blame you one bit for wanting to just step aside and rejuvenate. Good luck with everything!!

Hey you!! I just wanted to let you know how amazing of a person you are! You have accomplished so much, more even than you know. Just through inspiration! There couldn't be a better time in your career to take a break, with winter coming... take this time for your beautiful family. I know for sure that camera won't be too far from your hands!! LOL!! You will be busier than you know come spring, nobody forgets that kind of talent!! Hopefully we can sneak in some time to go shooting together in the meantime!!

Cheers!
