I think this is the first “Coffee Talk Mondays” post actually featured on a Monday instead of a Tuesday from the past month. Haha! I’m at Panera in Tennessee on my drive down to Florida as I type this blog post. 🙂 I decided to take a break halfway through my trip to get Ollie groomed at Petco while I got some computer work done. It worked out perfectly to stop now since Alex and I are heading out of town for almost two weeks for our honeymoon! So I’m taking care of business so today isn’t just spent driving for 14 straight hours. 🙂 Check out this past week’s hustle below!!

OUT OF THE OFFICE UNTIL OCTOBER 13th!!!

I cannot believe that Alex and I are heading out tomorrow to start our adventure across the world to THAILAND!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I am so so soooo excited to spend quality time with my hubby after a crazy busy time! We will be enjoying the city, elephants, rock climbing, beach, mango EVERYTHING, Thai food, and so much more!!! I cannot wait for us to explore their culture. Be sure to see our adventures on my Instagram at @stephaniemessickphoto!!! I will be back in the office on October 13th to start catching up with emails. I appreciate your patience in the meantime. 🙂 IT’S HONEYMOON “THAI”-ME!!!!!!! (See what I did there? 😉 Hehe!

ALL THE FALL FEELS!!!!

Despite Virginia still dealing with 90-degree weather, fall is definitely in full swing! Just this past week, I got to celebrate two engagements, one maternity, and two weddings in six days! WHEW! Guys, it was a BUSY week. I hustled fiercely and HARD. I just delivered all edited images from the sessions and just surprised my two wedding clients from this past weekend with close to 200 edited images each as a little preview! 🙂 I didn’t want to take off to Thailand and for them to wait weeks before seeing their beautiful images!! Gah! I’m excited to share them with YOU, but I’ll make you wait. 😉 HA!

IT MIGHT BE TIME TO WHITEN MY TEETH? 😉

I walked downstairs at my parent’s house yesterday after photographing a doubleheader, and the first thing I said was that it was going to be a day filled with lots of COFFEE. Well, funny enough, yesterday was National Coffee Day! 🙂 So I lived up to its name!! Haha! Also, as I was making my way through southern Virginia this morning, Ollie and I made a pit stop to surprise my bestie at work with some Starbucks. 🙂 Although, Ollie looked ready to claim it as his own. Haha!

THE BITTER MEMORIES FROM THIS PAST WEEK

NADAAA!!!

I don’t really have any “Espresso Moments” from this past week except for the amount of editing I pressured myself to get through. But I can pat myself on the back for getting it DONE!! The hustling was worth it so Alex and I can enjoy a relaxing vacation without rushing back to catch up with work. 🙂 It’s VACATION TIME!!!!!
