Weekend Catch Up

This entire week, as I stated on Friday’s blog post, has probably been one of the craziest weeks of my business … EVER! But I would so do it again because I simply love my clients!!! Soon enough, it will be the slow season (January/February) so I can appreciate this hectic time now. šŸ™‚ I have SO many sessions/weddings I want to share with you all so it is going to be a fun filled few weeks of beautiful sessions! And I am going to stick to my one week turn arounds … which I can now thank that I am full time now that I’m not working a part time job anymore. šŸ™‚

Today, I am taking the day off from editing and spending it with my love! Yesterday, 10-20 was our one year anniversary and today we have the chance to celebrate together by doing things we love to do! Planning to go hiking and pack wine, cheese, crackers … do a home project together … and end it with a wonderful homemade meal and a movie night! I am so blessed to have him by my side during this crazy time of the year. He is the most supportive and understanding man I could ever ask for! So thankful for him and our relationship!

Here is what to look forward to this week and next week on the blog! More to come! šŸ™‚

    Stephanie,

    You did an awesome job with Kaitlin and brad’s wedding! You were perfect in every way, encouraging and moving things along, but never pushy. I can’t wait to see all the pictures! You were outstanding!!
