Wedding Season is Here!

I hope everyone enjoyed their first day of spring yesterday … Can I say … it’s about TIME?! Honestly though, I LOVE the snow and obviously LOVE snow portraits but there is something so unique with the spirit of springtime. It’s happy, joyful, romantic, airy, refreshing … Seriously, who cannot be in a good mood when spring comes around? Windows cranked down in the car with the breeze going through your hair and the smells of the outdoors. More importantly, cute dresses, accessories and sandals! SO ready!

With spring here, wedding season begins … TOMORROW! From now until November 8th, I will have 32 lovely, adorable, AMAZING couples I am honored to photograph for their special day. <3 I’m so ready and focused on this year, especially knowing that I have this time dedicated to my couples now that this is my full time job! WOW! So exciting to picture this year solely dedicated to my business without having another job to worry about!

To get us in the spring mindset, I have put together a post of some favorite spring photos from last year. These get me excited to start seeing some greenery outside … hopefully soon!!! 🙂
