Why I Practice Sabbath as a Photographer (and What It’s Taught Me About Rest, Boundaries, and Creativity)
As a professional photographer and a Christian, learning to honor the Sabbath has completely changed how I approach my work and my life. In the early days of my business, I said yes to everything — even Sunday shoots — and quickly found myself burned out and spiritually empty. Now, I intentionally reserve Sundays for church, family, and rest. It’s not always easy to say no, especially in a demanding industry, but setting this boundary has made me more grounded, focused, and creatively energized. This weekly rhythm has become less about restriction and more about renewal — a space to refill my cup so I can pour into others throughout the week.
