2021 Year-End-Review

I started 2021 with a lot of uncertainty around my business because my kids were home. I decided to keep them home until the vaccines were available for adults.

I’m so thankful for my wonderful husband and biggest supporter. He took care of the kids while I went to my photoshoots.

By July, I sent my kids back to school. They were so happy and it brought me such joy to give them some sort of normalcy.

Even though I had more time to work on my business, the toll of doing too much for almost a year and not taking care of myself landed me in a mild depression. I noticed the signs because I had postpartum blues after my oldest daughter was born. So, I went to the doctor and got help.

I share this because my mental health is important to me If you are struggling with your mental health, know that you are not alone and help is available.

What I’m grateful for in 2021:

• For my family and friends who continuously encourage me and support me throughout my entrepreneurship journey.
• For all the referrals from my wonderful network of connections. Every referral means the world to me! Thank you!
• For my existing clients who booked another session with me, I’m so happy to work with you all again!
• For my new clients, I’m so glad our paths have crossed. It’s such a joy to get to know you and thank you for introducing me to your beautiful family members (including fur babies).
• For the doctors and nurses who had worked tirelessly to take care of all the patients.
• For the restaurants that deliver. I love to eat but don’t like to cook. Lol!

In 2022, I’m looking forward to continuing to grow, reflect, celebrate, meet new people virtually, and work on some amazing projects. Keep your eyes open for my Mini Branding Sessions Event in March 2022.

I’m sharing some of my clients’ pictures from 2021. Enjoy!

I wish you and your family a healthy and happy New Year!

From my family to yours,
Charissa
