Out of the Office until October 27th!!!

HAPPY OCTOBER!!! One of my FAVORITE months of the year. šŸ™‚ I’m loving all of the fall vibes happening in Florida! But I’m really looking forward to visiting Wyoming and Virginia for the full “fall experience.” Bring on the campfires, hot cocoa, apple cider, fall boots, cute layers, and the COLORFUL foliage! I cannot WAIT! On that note, this post is to remind everyone that I will be out of my office until October 27th! That seems like FOREVER from now, but I have some notes below sharing what this month looks like. šŸ™‚

I know this month is going to fly by fast … Shoot, actually, I feel like this year has flown by! And for the best, since I think all of us know that 2020 hasn’t been the year we expected. But I’m looking forward to ending this year on a high note when we welcome our sweet baby into this world in December!! Ah! And December is only a couple of months from now! CRAZY! So much baby prepping to do, but for now, I’m going to enjoy this month with Alex, family, friends, and my sweet couples. <3


I appreciate everyone’s patience with my email response time and lack of blogging these coming weeks. This season looks a lot different from the past, in many ways! But I’m hoping to find some time here and there to catch up with emails, blogging, and social media posts at some points. šŸ™‚

BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALONG ON OUR ADVENTURES THIS MONTH ON INSTAGRAM!!! @StephanieMessickPhoto

Out of the Office until October 27th!!!

Out of Town

WYOMING

From October 2nd-13th, I will be out of the office on our “babymoon” with little to no service. šŸ™‚ Hello, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone … We are coming for you!!! I will try to post Instagram stories when I can because the adventures we will embark on will be EPIC! I cannot WAIT!!!

VIRGINIA

From October 14th-27th, I will be in Virginia will a FULLY PACKED schedule, photographing weddings and sessions. I’ll have limited service, but I’ll try to respond to emails and blog when I can during my last Virginia trip of the year. šŸ™‚

Out of the Office until October 27th!!!

INQURIES

VIRGINIA INQUIRIES

I am completely booked for the rest of the year and won’t be taking on any sessions/weddings until spring 2021. This also means I will not be hosting my NINTH annual Christmas Mini Sessions this year… I am SOOOO sad, but with welcoming baby Schloe in December, I realized that this will have to wait until next year. <3

FLORIDA INQUIRIES

I have a couple of openings available in early November! Check for pricing info HERE! Florida sessions will pick up again after I recover from maternity leave in late March/April! šŸ™‚

Out of the Office until October 27th!!!

THANK YOU!

Thank you all for your support, especially during this exciting, busy season!!! I’m doing my very best to make sure tasks are taken care of before maternity leave and before I close out another year of business. šŸ™‚ Although this year looks quite different from the past years, I’m so appreciative of my couples and families who worked through the craziness of the pandemic. HAPPY OCTOBER!!!!
