PoZersPhotography

It’s with an exceptionally heavy heart that I’ve made the hardest decision ever, to close the studio doors, and not re-open PoZers after the lockdown. I created a space for my wonderful photographers and models, that I was proud to call a “safe-haven” for everyone, and I can no longer provide this, in the building I rent. PoZers is too small, doesn’t have adequate ventilation, and depends on blower heaters to keep everyone warm, this just doesn’t meet the guidelines laid out by the government for coronavirus.

A lot happened to my family during lockdown, my mum died of coronavirus, my husbands health has declined, much of it stress related, so we’ve made a hard decision, to sell our home, close our businesses, and move away to start a new life, one that’s relatively stress free, and something that we’ve needed to do for years. This is now our only option, our health is being effected now, and at least we are blessed enough to have a way out.

My husband and I plan to move to the south coast, we have our heart set on being by the sea, where I can focus on different genres of photography, something I started during lockdown, and finally have some peace and tranquility. I don’t know what our future holds, I’m certainly not leaving the industry, I’ll still be a photographer, and who knows, I might set up a studio once again. But for now I need to focus on moving house and my husbands hearth, and get our lives back on track, but I’m certainly not giving up hope, that one day I’ll own a studio again.

I want to thank all my amazing clients for their outstanding support over the last 5 years, and I’m going to miss you all terribly, it’s broken my heart throughout lockdown, knowing that closing the doors, was my only choice. I’ve had 5 amazing years of fun, laughter, crazy creations, hilarious shoots, so much fun every single day, that this decision has ripped me apart, and truly broken my heart.

Do I have any regrets ? No !!! This has been undoubtedly the best 5 years of my life, and most of that is down to the PurplePort community, and it’s amazing members. It’s truly been the most positive time of my life, and I will never ever forget this.

Once I’ve moved and the dust has settled, then I’ll be back, the Phoenix always rises from the ashes, and there’s no keeping me away from this amazing industry, it’s been my world. But until then, I’d like to thank you all for the craziest years of my life and hope that one day, our paths will cross once again, and PoZers is reborn somehow.

So for now my lovelies ...

Goodbye, I love you all and thank you for being part of my dream come true ...
