Weekend Recap

I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July weekend! Amazing weather!!! I realize I have so much I want to do this week before taking off to OBX this weekend, so sorry to be brief. πŸ™‚ This week, I’ll be finalizing edits, packaging/shipping out sessions/weddings/gifts, album designs, packing up for OBX, finishing up a project for an event some of my brides and I are doing on Saturday (YAY!!!), file my monthly reports and then of course meetings/sessions/blogging/emailing. Exciting week for sure! And of course staying on top of my workout/health plan. πŸ™‚

Here’s a sneak peek of what is to come this week on the blog! πŸ™‚
