FRIDAY!!! We made it to the end of a short week, and I am not going to lie… I spent most of my time trying to figure out what day it was. I’m heading into a few weekends that are light on weddings, and I am SO excited for some time to relax and travel to a few of my favorite places. This weekend, I have a sweet engagement session, and the rest of Saturday, I’m off to relax! I don’t know if I will know what to do with all of this free time!!

Ok… I definitely need to preface this post by saying that it was about a real feel of 101 degrees, and these two never complained once! We may have had insane humidity and tons of mosquitos swarming around our legs, but we also had some gorgeous light and nearly empty city parks (a rarity in DC!!). I am SO thankful for clients that trust their photographer, even when the situation being thrown at them is a little bit crazy! We got through the evening with cold water close on hand and a few breaks to cool down.

Doing a little happy dance over at my desk because IT’S FRIDAY, Y’ALL! Now, I’m not 100% sure why I get so excited about Friday these days… after all, I do work weekends and definitely don’t have Monday off for Labor Day, but I just can’t help it! Everyone is ALWAYS so happy on Friday, and it means that I (usually) get to work with a sweet couple the very next day. SO… even though my Friday’s don’t necessary mean the end of the workweek for me, CHEERS to the it being weekend eve!

Ok guys… I can’t wait for you to meet these two. I got to meet Ciera and Grant in Frederick, MD for their engagement session on Friday, and right away, I could tell how in love they are! They’ve got the sweetest way of communicating with one glance and know exactly how to make the other laugh.

We made it guys!! FRIDAY! I’m not going to lie, I had NO idea what to write about this week. (Writer’s block is a REAL thing) Busy season has been in full swing, and the idea of writing an educational post felt like A LOT. SO, I’m staying true to my promise to stay on top of taking and sharing personal photos, and that is just what I’m doing today!

I’m not going to lie… before this session, I had the total “end of summer scaries!” I LOVE summer so much, and the thought of having to put on a coat again is just a little too much for me to handle right now… but, after exploring this apple orchard with gorgeous views with these two, I think I *may* be ready for a little autumn weather.

I cannot wait for today’s post, y’all! Celebrating these two, yesterday, today, and always. Just about one year ago, I was sipping on wine in my Kentucky Derby finest as these two celebrated their marriage with all of their closest friends. If you haven’t met Savannah yet, you should know that she is one of my dearest friends from college, that we work together *almost* every weekend and that she basically knows how to keep my life together better than I do. These two have welcomed me into their home so many times this year… seriously.

HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIENDS! Phew, this week was a crazy one! I’m coming off of a week of catchup and editing after a week spent with my family! I’m heading down to Charlottesville tonight for an engagement session, and tomorrow, I’m off to PA for a wedding! It felt SO good to be back in the swing of things, even if I did spend a lot of my week wishing I was still sitting on the beach with the fam. Today’s post is going to be a random hodgepodge of sorts, so let’s do it!

Ok I need y’all all to know that today’s post comes with ALL THE FEELS! I met Liz a number of years ago when we were both fitness instructors at Penn State. She was one of my mentors and originally taught me how to teach barre fitness! Fast forward a few years, and I got an email from her, saying that she was ENGAGED and wanted me to be her wedding photographer. Being asked to play a very small part in documenting someone’s love story is always a huge honor, but when it is someone that you’ve known for years, it definitely hits you right in the feels! Having the opportunity to capture Liz & Tyler’s day was the biggest honor and privilege, and I spent most of Saturday with tears in my eyes.

Y’all know that I absolutely love pretty plants and pretty florals and amazing bouquets!! I have been dreaming about dropping some floral knowledge for you to enjoy right on this very blog… but, the only problem?! I’m not a florist!! So… I began to chat with some of my sweet industry friends about how we could make this a reality, and that is when Megan Lucks connected me to Haley of Cedar and Lime Co.! Oh my goodness, am I grateful! Haley the kindest human ever, and her work is AMAZING!
