Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend! I most certainly did. Here’s a little list of what I’ve been up to recently!

-Traveling to Pisgah National Forest to explore potential wedding locations. We had a nice afternoon hiking and exploring Asheville, but we realized that a wedding in the national park wasn’t quite feasible for us. But that’s ok because we have a new, practically-perfect location!

-Researching wedding things in ALL my spare time. So many details to figure out! It’s a really great thing that my mom is an event planner. Or else we would still be sitting around saying, “We really should start planning one of these days… 7 months is pleeenty of time.”

-Being sick earlier this week… that was no fun!

-Training my puppy, who is practically perfect 80 percent of the time, mischievous 15 percent of the time, and a holy terror 5 percent of the time.

Stay tuned later this week for another installment of “Wedding Details I Love,” a goals post, and some fun photos from an Asheville wedding!

xo!!

 

 

Branches & Light

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Photog friends, you absolutely must check out the Branches & Light workshop! Nancy and Caroline are two lovely photographers whose work I admire greatly! I’ve been shamelessly stalking the B&L blog for photography, business and lifestyle posts for the past few weeks, and I am going to do my very best to attend this year! I hope you will, too!

Clearing the Clutter

Friday, August 19th, 2011

lara casey the challenge making things happen

I hope this Friday is treating you most wonderfully! As for me, I’ve got LOTS to do. Last night I got so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff bouncing around in my brain that needs to be done, like two weeks ago, that I felt like I couldn’t do anything at all. I was exhausted, and the amount of things to be done was paralyzing.

I knew when I woke up this morning that something needed to change. Today, I revisited The Challenge by the ever-inspiring Lara Casey. This amazing set of blog posts is designed to help you cut out the clutter, prioritize, get things done and make things happen! This is exactly what I need right now. So after downloading two full notebook pages of things that are on my mind and need to be done, I am already feeling much more free and capable of making achievable goals and moving forward.

So tonight I’m getting started by physically clearing the clutter– out of my car. I’m baking Butterbeer cupcakes for my love, who finished math boot camp today. And I’m sitting down with a cup of tea and some Bon Iver to look over my business budget and make some changes.

Have a great weekend! I’m looking forward to some good productivity and some time to relax. If you want to join in the Challenge with me, let me know, and we’ll cheer each other on!

A sneak peek

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I’m back in the blogosphere! Now that choral rehearsals between 2-4 hours each night have subsided, I can resume my regular updates! I am SO close to finishing my post on Kacey and Matt’s wedding, but I’m not quite there yet, so it must wait till tomorrow! (I know! I can’t stand it either!)

But here’s a little sneak peek of what’s to come!


Kacey Mullaney – Bridals

Monday, August 1st, 2011

This lovely lady is so dear to my heart. Kacey and I have been friends since 7th grade. We and our little group of high school friends (“The Core Six”) have been through lots together– most notably in our awkward teenage years when we laughed almost constantly at the silliest things and shared countless inside jokes. Kacey is brilliant, beautiful, and has the kindest, warmest heart you’ve ever seen. It was an incredible privilege to photograph her wedding this past weekend. She and Matt are a perfect fit, and I teared up behind the camera on more than one occasion during their wedding day. Their love for each other is so strong and full of joy, and I am so lucky to have been a part of their wedding!

Kacey, I love you so much! You are such a sweet, dear friend and it makes me so happy that you have such a wonderful man to share your life with.

Kathryn – Bridal Portraits

Monday, July 11th, 2011

I am super excited to share these photos of the lovely Kathryn. These were taken in the backyard of the home she grew up in, where she and her new husband got married this past weekend. They have been together for over eight years! Kathryn is, as you will see, GORGEOUS in every way. She’s the kind of person that, when you start talking to her, you feel like you’ve known her for ages. She is genuine and radiant, and it was such a pleasure to take these bridal portraits with her. Enjoy!
