Hi! I want to thank everyone again for supporting me over the years of providing photography services to families, players, clubs and schools! It's a dream job I've always wanted and I am lucky to be able to do this for a living.
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Never good news of course, but what I have understood so far is that it is one of the more manageable forms of leukemia. But, it's still cancer and there is still a long road ahead of treatments and doctor appointments. There is no cure, just the hope we can get it into remission and keep it at bay going forward.
So in the meantime, it's business as usual! And I want to emphasize that this is my full-time job! I'll be working everyday as much as usuall to keep providing services! Please keep me in mind for any photography needs. I know there are many choices out there from friends, parents, hobbyists, etc that do things for fun or on the side. I've spent many decades studying and providing photography at a professioinal leval and would love to continue to provide these services as I continue through treatment and beyond. It means a world to me!
I will more than likely be doing more work in-studio and not going to or doing bigger events as I get worn out pretty quick. As doing these bigger events is my main source of income, I will be putting out info on more studio photos for sports, families and pets (something I've been wanting to do more, now I have a reason to do it!) to keep the lights on and pay the bills. I will be posting more information on my studio site soon, please check it out! www.indyphotostudio.com
Orders: will get processed and out as quick as possible. Should there be any delays or issues I will reach out! But if you have any questions, please reach out to me as well! Hopefully this is just a small bump in the road and can continue one with no issues! The biggest help is your contintued support!
Thank you again for your patience and understanding,
Shawn Barney
