As many of you know, this year serves as a year of transition for the Haney family. With that transition, I have goals to keep us on track to prepare and flourish!

Here at Ali Rae Haney Photography, we see each and every one of our clients as family. No, really, at the end of the year, I even send all of my clients Christmas cards! But the family I’m going to introduce you to in this blog post are the members that actually have the last name “Haney.”

I mentioned a few of my favorite things on my About page, but if you’d like to get to know me even more, here ya go! The older I get, the more I realize how much I love things that are family-centered…small traditions and sweet mementos are the way to my heart.

Took a poll on Instagram to see if anyone wanted to know how I schedule/organize my life using Emily Ley’s Simplified Planner and the result was a yes! So here goes!

The transition from teacher to photographer was a rough one…considering I didn’t know much about photography or running a business.

Believe it or not, I signed the letter of intent stating that I was planning on returning for a second year of teaching….

Let’s take it back to December 2015.

2020 was a gray cloud, but it certainly did have its silver linings. While I was initially discouraged looking back on the year, with some introspection I realized that amended goals are not failed goals. Many lessons were learned and accomplishments were made, and I could not be more thankful for my clients, family, and friends!

Two years of you, sweet girl.

While our story may seem carefree now, it wasn’t always. We ventured through many obstacles in order to have the family we had today. Those obstacles weighed on us physically, emotionally, and mentally. As we navigate being on the “other” side of infertility, I hope this post can help those navigating the road we were on not long ago.
