Whether I’m by the mountains of Colorado or Virginia, my soul feels at home, surrounded by rural living and the raw beauty of nature.

Weekend Catch Up

This entire week, as I stated on Friday’s blog post, has probably been one of the craziest weeks of my business … EVER! But I would so do it again because I simply love my clients!!! Soon enough, it will be the slow season (January/February) so I can appreciate this hectic time now. šŸ™‚ I have SO many sessions/weddings I want to share with you all so it is going to be a fun filled few weeks of beautiful sessions! And I am going to stick to my one week turn arounds … which I can now thank that I am full time now that I’m not working a part time job anymore. šŸ™‚

Today, I am taking the day off from editing and spending it with my love! Yesterday, 10-20 was our one year anniversary and today we have the chance to celebrate together by doing things we love to do! Planning to go hiking and pack wine, cheese, crackers … do a home project together … and end it with a wonderful homemade meal and a movie night! I am so blessed to have him by my side during this crazy time of the year. He is the most supportive and understanding man I could ever ask for! So thankful for him and our relationship!

Here is what to look forward to this week and next week on the blog! More to come! šŸ™‚

    Stephanie,

    You did an awesome job with Kaitlin and brad’s wedding! You were perfect in every way, encouraging and moving things along, but never pushy. I can’t wait to see all the pictures! You were outstanding!!
