SO MUCH HAPPENING THIS WEEK 🤎 My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on Tuesday (huge THANK U to Sara Grace Photography for taking these of us). Sessions on sessions on sessions — August is my busiest month of the year so far with sessions! I just launched two sets of Fall Mini Sessions, I still have a couple spots on October 18th!!! 🍂 Finally, I have a Summer Sale for wedding clients going live until August 26th next week. Christmas in August? I think so 🤭✨

August is almost here... and I genuinely can’t believe how fast this year is moving!
It feels like we were just kicking off summer, and somehow we’re already stepping into the busiest season of my year. August, September, and October are filled with sessions, weddings, and so many incredible moments to document.
Summer absolutely flew by, and while I’m not quite ready to let it go, I’m so excited for everything these next few months have in store.
Cheersssss to a full calendar, beautiful love stories, golden sunsets, and the busiest second half of the year. 🤍
