Currently: February | Behind the Scenes

Every month I share a Currently post here on the blog to give y’all a little peek at what’s going on behind the scenes and in the backend of my business + what’s happening in my personal life!

Dusting off the blog after coming in just shy of a year of not posting. The last time I did a currently post was Halloween 2023 — two days after that post went live, my boyfriend had a major heart attack and our lives turned upside down. I went back to work full time while still juggling my photography business. I am finally in a place now where I have time to share all the work I created in 2024 and what’s been going on in my life since then.

Still using my cute coffee cups and drinking too much coffee every morning though. Because a girl has to have at least one constant in her life after so much change. My #annalovesmornings series mostly lives in my Instagram stories these days or on my Twitter.

Winging social media these days. I’ve been slacking on regular social media posting since busy season ramped up in 2024. The algorithm is exhausting and I’m coming back around to the idea of just posting what I want, when I want. Actually, I’ve been without a phone for the last two weeks bc I had to send it in to Apple for repairs. The accidental social media detox has been so good for my mental health!

Listening to what else but evermore before bed every night.

Snuggling with the cats extra these days with all the wind chill warnings Mother Nature has been throwing at us lately. In August, we adopted another orange kitten after losing Whiskers a year and a half before. He has approximately one single brain cell and we named him Trigger. We also found out in January that my baby girl kitty has cancer so I am taking all the extra snuggles she will give me.

Discovering my hobbies again. Loving this coloring book — also the best excuse to break out the glitter gel pens.

Feeling so grateful that I have enough work booked in 2025 to take photography full time again once wedding season ramps up for the year. None of this would be possible without you, my clients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Watching documentaries about the Industrial revolution while I work these days. The Men Who Built America + The Cars Who Made America have been two of my favs. These are shows that my dad and I would have enjoyed watching together and it makes me remember all the good times we had together camping, going to car shows on weekends, and taking long road trips together.

Challenging myself to cook more at home in 2025. So far I’ve made my first roast and mushroom ravioli with homemade alfredo sauce. I have also been making a lot of homemade cereal bars.

*These Currently posts are just for fun — some links may be affiliate, but I am sharing just because I love it!
