But with the unwavering support of my husband, family, and friends, she persevered, learning and growing with each setback. And now, as a proud stay-at-home mom running her thriving photography business, I knows that my long-held dreams have become a beautiful reality. Her journey is a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a loving, encouraging network.
