It's Been A While

2023. How did the last three years fly by?

When this website launched in 2020, along with my rebrand and leap to take photography full time, here’s a little time capsule of what was happening:

  • I had just gotten married - in September 2019, but it was still fresh.

  • I had just returned from a Disney cruise with my new-in-laws and new husband. It was my first time in the Disney magic experience. I came back completely inspired by the world of Walt Disney and the idea that “it all started with a man and a mouse”.

  • We were settling into our little starter home nicely. Everything was just right.

  • We hadn’t heard much about the novel coronavirus yet, which seemed far-off.

  • I worked freelancing full time and my husband, Chris, worked full-time at an accounting firm.

Fast-forward, here’s what’s up today:

  • We have been married for three years, and in 2021 welcome our first child.

  • Our greatest travels have been to Saskatoon, SK and Canmore, AB - not that I’m complaining. Those are becoming my favourite Canadian cities.

  • I have taken a job as a Director of Communications, and my husband has opened a digital marketing firm called "Spoko Media.” Go follow him on Instagram!

  • Photography has taken a backseat, but I’ve had time to dig deep into my favourite parts of photography and figure out what I liked most about photographing people and their stories.

I love this website. I invested a lot into it and am proud of the work that went into it. Having I ever thought about entering the blog space? Absolutely! Writing was one of my passions before photography. I see this space telling my clients' stories but also book reviews, monthly product reviews and whatever else my little heart desires.

As always, I’m so happy that you’re here and hope you’ll stick around for what’s next.

Stay happy,

Janelle
