Perimenopause...it's like a secret club for women that we all get to be a part of, yet no one prepares us for it. I had no intention of sharing this with y'all, but to be more vulnerable and potentially help other women....I asked myself, why wouldn't I share it? Because it's embarrassing, culturally paisa or make others feel uncomfortable? Maybe as women in our culture, we're conditioned to not talk about it, pretend like it's not happening or better yet have your doctor tell you to go on the Pill and that will make it better. ⁠

In our late 30's-50's our bodies start another change, perimenopause, followed by menopause. These shifts for one affect your mental state, unwanted belly weight gain, hair loss, increased joint pain, heavy periods, brain fog, and irritability. Most of us feel unprepared for these changes. ⁠

For me, it was the month after our 10-year anniversary trip to Italy, also 18 months after my last child was born. We had the most incredible time taking in the historical sites in Rome, drinking wine in Tuscany, and hiking the Cinque Terra, only to come home to the worst cycle of my life. It felt like I was in labor. After two years of heavy cycles, I finally went on the pill to help regulate the pain. It wasn't until 5 years later that I learned I had a fibroid tumor sitting on the lip of my uterus. ⁠

After some unwanted side effects, I decided I had to get off the pill. Several months ago, I finally ditched the pill and had a myomectomy to partially remove the fibroid and a uterine ablation to help with my painful periods. So I'm here to say, I wish I would have done this sooner. It's a game-changer. Typically during my cycle, I would be taken out for at least a day if not more in bed, but not now. ⁠

But until then, here is to making the conversations around both peri and menopause more mainstream and less a secret club. What is something you wish you knew before going through it?⁠

It wasn't until 5 years later that I learned I had a fibroid tumor sitting on the lip of my uterus.

Fast forward to last summer and I was driving my middle daughter home when I had an aura appear in my left eye causing me not to be able to see, due to a hormonal shift. After this scary event, I decided I had to get off the pill. Several months ago, I finally ditched the pill and had a myomectomy to partially remove the fibroid and a uterine ablation to help with my painful periods. I've had several girlfriends who had an ablation and loved the results. So I'm here to say, I wish I would have done this sooner. It's a game-changer. Typically during my cycle, I would be taken out for at least a day if not more in bed, but this time, I was at church, praying for the sick, greeting our congregation, and sharing about the goodness of God.

I know this is only one component, as ablations don't cure hormones and that is why I just finished a 10 week clean eating/ no drinking cleanse too. I saw a lot of improvement in all areas of my life, sleep, weight, and energy levels, so I'm considering starting another fast next week.

But until then, here is to making the conversations around both peri and menopause more mainstream and less a secret club. What is something you wish you knew before going through it?

How do I prepare for a Discovery call with a social media manager?

Here are three easy ways to get ready for a discovery call with yours truly.

💎Clearly define your goals and objectives for social media marketing. How will you know if your SMM’s marketing strategy is working?

💎Research your social media manager’s (hopefully me) experience and expertise to ensure they align with your goals.

💎Prepare a list of questions to ask during the discovery call to gain a better understanding of their process and how they can help you achieve your goals.

Are you looking to grow on the gram, but are lost with out a strategy? I can help🙋🏼

DM today to set up your complimentary discovery call and find out why clients are loving what I’m doing for their sales funnel📈💵💥

What I would have told myself one year ago...

"Don't you ever give up girl! God has got your back and He's looking out for you every step of the way."

One year ago, I stepped down from my position as an executive assistant/event planner for a nonprofit organization. I was walking through some very difficult things personally and professionally and I knew I was called to launch my own Social Media Strategy Business.

I took 5 months off from work to take care of my own mental health while pursuing healing from a broken relationship. I told several people about my idea to launch my new business, but then the first family photography client of my fall season took me seriously.

She told me her boss was very interested in my ideas and wanted my packages and a contract to review. Four months later and they are still my biggest client and have led to other clients too.

I'm so thankful that the seed God planted in my heart for this business is growing. What are you waiting for? Is there an idea you have that you're afraid to launch? I would say take the step, put yourself out there. You never know what might happen!

5 Things you should know about me...

💎Adventure is my middle name, technically it's Ann, but who's counting? I love to travel the globe with my camera in tow while coordinating fun things for us to do along the way. ATVing anyone?

💎 Entrepreneurship is the heartbeat of my spirit. I've owned and operated my own photography business for the past 17 years, but took a break during COVID and worked in communications and event planning. Fast forward to December of 2022 and SKP-SMM was born out of a heart to help small businesses grow while fostering my creative spark. I absolutely love the flexibility of owning and operating my own business!

💎My favorite color is orange. When I was in high school, my first real boyfriend had an orange BMW. He was all things artistic and fun, so where the relationship didn't stick, my love for all things orange did.

💎My favorite coffee drink is hands down a Carmel Oat Milk Latte from Otis in Lafayette. However, if I'm in Louisville, Moxie's Honey Lavender Oat Milk Latte is a close second.

💎I am living my dream of being a mom, and wife, living in Colorado, and traveling while loving Jesus and my awesome rockstar friends. When I'm not working you can find me at yoga, skiing, paddle boarding, or camping with my family!

My Story

I specialize in documenting families from newborn to seniors and every important milestone in between. I live in Erie, CO with my three young children and my husband. When I’m not photographing, you can find me in the Rocky Mountains skiing, camping and hiking. I adore traveling the world, scuba diving, yoga, Jesus, date nights, adventure and my three incredible kids. Check out a little bit about my story below.

I could start by telling you that i have had a camera in my hand since I was 5 or that I could not imagine doing anything else other than photography. However, I think what is most important when hiring a photographer is not only falling in love with their photographs, but also the way that they view life. I have had many experiences that have taught me how precious every single day can be. How we have great times and not so great times in our lives and truly celebrating the best times is so important. My home is filled with photographs, pictures of my two beautiful daughters, my son, holidays and my own wedding, so on those not so great days i can look at them and remember. This is my goal when i am shooting. I want you to be able to look at your photographs and remember when your baby first found her toes, your mother before she passed away from cancer, the way the sun filtered through your child's blond hair, as she played on the swingset your husband made her, or the tear you wiped away during your dad's toast at your wedding. Photographs are not just pretty images, but life captured beautifully through the eye of my lens. Before another moment passes, won't you call me to document this life, your life? it's worth living, it's worth celebrating, it's worth capturing. I can't wait to meet you and document the life you were meant to live.
