You all gave me your input… and I listened! ❤️🎄

I’ve officially locked in not one, but TWO holiday venues this year! 😍

There are still a few things to finalize for the second location, but hey… it’s only September 🤣 I suppose I’ll try to wait until Halloween before spilling all the details! 👀😂

Let’s just say… Christmas at Nellie Bug Photography is going to be extra magical this year. ❤️✨

Okay… I’m going to try this one more time because I genuinely think Golden Gatherings might be getting lost in the sea of fall photo posts. 😂

So let me tell you what I actually planned…

I've rented a greenhouse. 🌿 Not for plants. 😂

For ONE afternoon, on September 19th, this beautiful greenhouse in Hannibal is being completely transformed into a cozy autumn space—and I get to photograph inside it. 🍂

And honestly? I think that's the part I haven't explained well enough.

This isn't just:
📸 “Hey, I have fall minis available!”

This is a completely different experience.

✨ A fully decorated greenhouse
✨ Beautiful natural light
✨ Autumn details and cozy seasonal vibes
✨ No worrying about rain
✨ No hunting for the perfect fall location

Just show up with your favorite people and let me do the rest. 🤎

📅 September 19th
📍 Light & Lens Studio | Hannibal, NY
⏰ 20-minute session
💰 $125

And because this is the very first year I'm doing this, there aren't past photos for me to show you yet.

Which means whoever books this year gets to be part of the very beginning of something brand new. 🥹🍂 if you've been thinking about fall photos but want something a little different this year… Come see what I've been so excited about. 🌿🍂🤎

IT’S WEDDING DAY! Nope, not mine. 😂 I already did that part — got the husband, the marriage certificate, and the gray hairs to prove it. 🤣

But today, I get to spend the day doing something I truly love: celebrating two people as they begin their next chapter together.

There’s something about a wedding day that gets me every single time. The anticipation. The nerves. The happy tears that haven't even happened yet. The laughter. The people gathering together to celebrate a love story that brought everyone into the same room.

And somewhere in between all of that, I get the incredible honor of capturing it.

So today, I'm charging my batteries, clearing my memory cards, and trying not to cry before the thing even starts. 😂📸🤎

Well… THAT problem solved itself quicker than expected. 😂 Everything’s resolved, I feel 10,000 times better, and now I’m getting back to what I actually want to be doing.

Back to galleries I go. 🤣📸

To whoever decided it was a good idea to use my business information to open what feels like 30 million financial accounts in my name… I genuinely hope you have the day you deserve. 😅

In all seriousness, I’m incredibly frustrated and honestly a little overwhelmed. I work really hard to build and maintain my business, and having to stop everything to deal with morons is going to take its toll on me, for sure.

So, to the person responsible: if you really want to use my money, buy stuff for my business that I actually will use/want. A few more lenses would be ideal. Have them sent to me personally, though. 😂

And to everyone else: thank you for understanding. 🤎
