Isn’t it starting to feel like fall?! 🙂 I’ll tell you that I love every season, but there is something about fall that really makes me excited for this time of the year. Maybe it is the scarves, comfy and cute fall clothes or the boots? Maybe some yummy Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks? Maybe the colors of the leaves in the mountains on a beautiful hike? Or just maybe because finally the weather is going to give us a break from the heat? I’ll admit that we had a pretty mild summer, but some of those brutal days left a pretty good impression … or enough of an impression to say goodbye to summer! This season also gets me excited for December festivities! Don’t ask me why because I know 99% of you don’t want for me to say it this early … 😉 Because fall is approaching us SUPER fast, please email me at info@stephaniemessick.com if you are wanting a fall portrait session! I’m almost booked up, but do have some availabilities for a short amount of time.
Friday, I worked my booty off to catch up with my work and I was able to get out of the door by 3 p.m. to meet up with one of my best friends for a little shopping time. I’m so appreciative for the girl time because it doesn’t happen as often as I would like, but when I can allow myself to relax, it is so rewarding! I was able to splurge on a few dresses (as a wedding photographer, I can never have enough) and we were able to find her bachelorette party dress! Success! I’m SO excited for Amanda because she is getting MARRIED next month! Whoop! Whoop! Cannot wait to be on the other side enjoying some dancing on the floor. 🙂 Definitely want to help make this one of the best days of their lives!
I’ll admit that this month is pretty crazy, but I made sure to be realistic with my scheduling so I don’t get behind. I have been so proud of getting my editing accomplished week by week and hope to carry the work ethic throughout the remainder of my career. With 6 weddings, Pursuit 31 Conference in Georgia NEXT WEEK and 10 portrait sessions, I have plenty on my plate for September. Tis the season and already half way through the month already! Really, after the first weekend of October, my schedule starts slowing down fortunately. 🙂
This past weekend, I had two beautiful weddings that I’ll be sharing this week on the blog. 🙂 I thought after yesterdays wedding that I would be BEAT tired from going from all day Saturday to doing it again all day Sunday, but for some reason I left last nights wedding with a ton of energy! AND I even woke up earlier than usual this morning. I actually came home late last night blasting Enrique’s Bailando wanting to salsa dance. I don’t know how to salsa dance, but listening to it in the car and watching the groom’s family last night make sweet moves on the dance floor made me wish I knew how to salsa! Now I’m researching where I can take dancing classes with Kyle. How fun would that be? It’s on my bucket list!
Here’s what I am looking forward to sharing on the blog this week! 🙂 Happy Monday everyone!
