This is not the easiest post to write...but here it goes...I have been praying for God to make it clear what He wants me to right now in this stage of my life. I LOVE being a mommy and I LOVE being a photographer. I have had a tough time with this pregnancy, much like I did with the twins, so life has been a little crazy. During all of this, I have still been going to my Heavenly Father and asking Him to show me what I should be doing and right now, I should be more intentional with my time learning more about Him..and being a good mommy and wife. Change can be hard, but I am really looking forward to this stage in my life. I want to be there for my kids, for my husband and for my family and friends. I want my children to know and love the Lord and I need to make sure that I am being fed spiritually so that I can teach them. :) As I looked at what changes needed to be made in order for this to happen..I realized where I needed to cut back...and that is with work. So...I have decided to put Tammy Dugger Photography on hold for a while. God has blessed my business and I think the world of my clients and thank you all so much, but I know this is the right decision at this time. I have been reading Shepherding a Child's Heart in a women's bible study and when I came across this...I knew I was making the right decision. "Parenting is your primary calling. It is one of your most important tasks while your children are at home. It is your calling. Parenting will mean that you can't do all the things that you could otherwise do. You have only a brief season of life to invest yourself in this task. You have only one opportunity to do it. You cannot go back and do it over."
I look forward to being a full time stay at home mommy. I would be happy to recommend some great local photographer friends. Just send me an e-mail. :)
Thanks again for everything.
Have a blessed day!
