It’s time to say goodbye for now….
Well, at least to rock that ocf. It’s time for me to move on. I have absolutely loved teaching ocf all over the world. I’ve enjoyed meeting amazing photographers too. I’ve made many many friendships over the past two years teaching but with a daughter who is in school now it’s very hard to travel.
As most of you know my life has been an open book online to the photography public. A year and a half ago, I was devastated with the loss of our second child and have been trying to get pregnant ever since. Trying clomid and other various things we have not yet gotten pregnant. It’s taken a huge toll on me until about 4 months ago when I went to see a friend and she helped me a lot. I have renewed hope that I will get pregnant and have another child.
I have started a company called Rock the Drops. I’ve had it for a year now and it has done very well. I decided to do this because it allows me to stay home and be with my family. Although I really enjoyed traveling and teaching, I was getting burnt out and between that and shooting, I never saw my family. I used work as a coping method for the miscarriage. I became a work a holic. I’ve given up the traveling, the teaching, and my studio so I do not have to work so much. I’ve happily moved my studio back in to my home for now.
Please come visit me over at Rock the Drops or on my Facebook Page or you can join my Rock that OCF Facebook Group. I will still teach OCF if there’s a group that wants me to come out but I was traveling so much that I just got burnt out. I needed that break. Over at Rock the Drops, there are a lot of new things coming to it. I will be able to sell the Rock That OCF online book over there too.
I am sad to say goodbye to this website/blog but as you can see I haven’t had time post since April. I had over 50 seniors this summer and I only shot ocf two times because I was that burnt out.
I honestly don’t even know how many people will actually read this but if you do you are a true fan. Thank you!
Here’s to hoping for a great year for 2012!!!

Ali, you’ve made a great decision; family should always come before business. I’ll keep up with you on Facebook.
God bless you in your new endeavor!
Hugs,
Sharon
