Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the additional hour of sleep Saturday night! We all love our beauty sleep. 🙂 The past couple of days was officially my last busy weekend of the year!!! I still have three more weddings before the year wraps up, but I’m excited to finalize some edits and start winding down my schedule. 🙂 This year was busier than I anticipated but I appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement throughout the eleven months!

I’m keeping this blog post short and sweet because today is all about the editing. Is anyone digging the time change? I got up earlier than usual and conquered five things on my to-do list already! Woo! Talk about feeling productive. 🙂 Now I just have to trick my body to keep up this early riser morning routine.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of photographing a wedding for James and Greta! We were blessed with the sunshine that didn’t leave us freezing outside. 🙂 Yay! I’ll be sharing more about their special day on the blog later this week!

Weekend Recap

Yesterday was spent photographing 13 mini sessions! Whew! I had six sessions in the morning, took a break in the afternoon and finished the day with seven sessions in the evening! The time flew by SOOO fast! I could have easily kept going. 🙂 The day was filled with smiles, laughs, cute couples, kids and fur babies! Cannot wait to share more! In the meantime, enjoy this funny sneak peek. 🙂

Happy Monday!!
