Weekend Recap!

Weekend Recap

After this talk about taking last week off to relax, I ended up using the intensional time to catch up with some things that were a little behind (in my eyes). I think it’s funny when I hear people say that “you’re your own boss, you can do it later”, but the reality is that it is important to have high expectations. Last week was so beneficial to “catch up” and now I can focus on setting up new, healthy routine for business/personal life. As any business owner knows, it’s a constant struggle to establish a balance. I’m feeling empowered to take on this week with my heart open wide to change.

I spent my Friday and Saturday photographing two fun weddings! These are the first weekend of a crazy fall wedding season! For these five weekends, I’ll be photographing eight weddings! Cannot believe this is the final stretch to the wedding year. Where has this year gone?! Speaking of which, I have an announcement tomorrow regarding Mini Sessions!!! Be on the look out for that blog post! 🙂 🙂 🙂

For now, here are some sneak peeks for more to come this week!
