Weekend Catch Up

Sorry for the quick post today as I will be going in more depth this week. Just wanted to catch you up on what happened. šŸ™‚ Dropping off my car today to get fixed which means I’ll be carless for this week … boo, but this has also given me time to not schedule meetings and sessions … which meanssssss that I have time to catch up on a few edits and side projects I have planned! Yay! I was able to squeeze in yesterday completely off from sessions/work to spend time with my hunny! šŸ™‚ It is super important to remember that 7 days a week should not be always focused on business work. I will admit that I lose focus of that and end up putting my business in front of what is important in my life. It’s all about finding balance. Meaning for me to schedule time off so nothing else takes priority of personal private plans. šŸ™‚ I was able to enjoy a campfire and hot tub with my love and his family yesterday and how wonderful it was to relax and put aside business! šŸ™‚ Now, I’m rejuvenated to jump right in where I dropped off and move forward full speed today!Ā I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!!!

Late last week, I photographed the BEAUTIFUL Jessica for her bridal shoot! Cannot wait to share with you her country-bohemian bridal portraits! šŸ™‚ I hope this gives you an idea of what it will be like! … Ah! šŸ™‚

ALSO! Sonya and my garden workshop was this past Saturday and what a SUCCESS it wassss!!!! CANNOT wait to go into more details! šŸ™‚ I have a sneak peek of this lovely couple who modeled for us! Looking forward to sharing the memories and photos!
