weekly wrap up

If I’m being honest, this week I had to look back at my planner to write this post…the days seem to go by faster and faster…maybe that’s just how it feels right now because I’m really enjoying life and am focusing on living in the present, which when coupled with the fact that there is so much to do makes it feel like there are never enough hours in the day! Plus the days are getting shorter, which is the only thing I hate about Fall!

I think the highlight of my week was walking to Starbucks with Ryan to get a PSL (yes Pumpkin Spice Lattes have their own abbreviation…sort of ridiculous, but definitely appropriate in my opinion)…So that was three things I love!: Spending time with my husband, going on a Fall walk in the evening cooler weather in Richmond, and drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte! On a side note I accidentally drank three of these in one day two weeks ago between meeting with clients and friends for coffee dates all afternoon…after that I felt kind of sick and it took me a while to want one again…thankfully that didn’t ruin them for me and I still love them!

Now that you’ve read that random story here’s the weekly wrap up:

  • I shot a wedding at the VERY crowded oceanfront/boardwalk in Va Beach (the one where I thought I lost my iPhone), which was a new kind of challenge…thankfully the bridal party was gorgeous, the bride and groom were the sweetest couple and their family and friends were amazing and so much fun! I can’t wait to share their entire wedding early next week!

  • I got to shoot my first senior session! I loved it and I definitely want to start moving my business in the direction of shooting more of them!
  • I went running with my good friend Melanie…She’s getting married really soon and moving to the RVA…I am so excited and can’t wait to run with her regularly! She also gave me a present: this awesome “Forever Coral” Klean Kanteen…If you don’t know, Klean Kanteens are AMAZING…They legitimately keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 6 hours…IT’S FOR REAL. I am such a huge fan that maybe I’ll give one of these babies away when I get to 400 fans on Facebook or something…Thank you Melanie!! You’re the best!

I’m looking forward to another weekend of shooting! But right now I’m mostly excited that I have a free Friday night to spend time with Ryan! I have no idea what we’re doing yet, but I’m thinking it’s going to include going to Sweet Frog…

Happy Friday!!
