Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap | Fall is Here!

Doesn’t it feel like fall has officially arrived? It seems like just overnight the leaves changed color and covered the roads. Then again, it’s definitely cold enough!! I was not prepared for the cold weather Saturday and Sunday … Guess a dress, stockings and boots wasn’t enough to keep the wind chill tolerable while running around at a wedding. Oops! Speaking of weddings, I only have TWO more until the end of the wedding season! Wow! Where did this year go?! This month has been the most hectic I have been this year and I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate this beautiful weather with my couples and families. I’ll be hiking up to Skyline Drive today for a senior session and what better atmosphere than on top of a mountain during fall?! What this means for the rest of this week … a LOT of editing! I have many sessions and weddings that I am anxious to share on my blog over the upcoming weeks. 🙂

Here are some sneak peeks of more to come!
