Tomorrow I’m completely taking off so it’s appropriate to send out this “Merry Christmas” blog posting today. šŸ™‚ Pixie and I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS from Stephanie Messick Photography!!! I’m sorry, but I had to do this … I cannot help but laugh at this!!! Next year I need to remember not to get […]

Merry Christmas Eve Eve everyone!!! šŸ™‚Ā I love this season where it is okay to eat as many cookies possible and not feel guilty or re-watch classic movies at least once a week and not be bored… I guess there are only a couple more nights for me to soak this in before Christmas is here […]

Two more weeks left of 2014! Whew! I feel like it was yesterday when I was writing about 2013 … I’m super busy preparing for the 2015 year and I’m ecstatic with the plans I have!!! This past weekend I was working a little bit at a time with redesigning my website. I’m not going […]

I don’t get the chance to feature my work often through other blogs, so when it does happen I’m excited to share with you all! Yes, this was on my list of things to improve this year (submissions) but IĀ am very appreciative of what has been featured just in this one week! šŸ™‚ I have […]

We are officially in the final countdown for Christmas! Exactly a week away! AH! šŸ™‚ With Christmas parties and festive events happening I wanted to put together something cute after being inspired by a Christmas posting I wrote earlier this month. After looking up how much a tulle skirt was (easily over $100), I thought […]

As my couples and I go on our journey together, I have the privilege of getting to know them. When they build excitement, I’m right there excited with them … when they are crying, I’m right there shedding tears as well. It’s funny because I NEVER considered myself a sappy person, but this year I […]

Keeping my posting brief today as I run around and check off my to dos before Christmas next week (Hair pulling now?)! It’s all manageable as I was able to check a bit off my list yesterday. This morning I spent some time finally starting to wrap some gifts! Typically I just buy whatever cute […]

I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoying this festive season!!! šŸ™‚ I’m in my “slow season” and I’m constantly reminding myself to take advantage of this time “off” to do things I don’t typically do during the busy season. Even simple things as catching up with friends! I will absolutely admit that it […]

I remember saying the beginning of this year that it was the year of refining. I love that and I believe I have made leaps through refining since the end of 2013. šŸ™‚ Now, I’m challenging myself to upscale my business for this upcoming year! Last night I sat down and put together new design […]

We met on a pretty mild day for December at the GORGEOUS Snickers Gap Tree Farm. I was thankful that I didn’t have to wear gloves, but boy was I WRONG! Half way through the session the temperature must have dropped 20 degrees! We were FREEZING by the end of the session! They braved the […]
