Weekend Recap

Monday Recap | Sneak Peek, Virginia Photographer

I think it’s safe to say that fall is here! While the temps are decent during the day, it’s FREEZING during the evening/night hours. Not sure I can say that I’m officially ready for the 20-degree temps, but I am excited about the upcoming Holiday season! For all Christmas lovers out there, I was excited to take some time yesterday to go Christmas shopping! Eeppp! Don’t worry. I’m not decorating now … just next weekend. 😉

Last week was an unexpectedly busy week. From meetings to an elopement to a maternity session to a styled shoot and many photos to edit, it’s safe to say that things will start slowing down from here. 🙂 I had the INCREDIBLE honor of photographing one of the sweetest couples on Saturday. Fortunately, I had my first day off yesterday since October 30th where my feet had the opportunity to recover from the running around. I wish I wore a Fitbit on Saturday because my feet were throbbing, but that means it was a good day with a lot of action to cover! 😉 As you can see, my week is packed with photos to share with you all this week!! Cannot wait!
