Classic Fall Wedding

I had never shot at Kenyon before and it sure delivered! Everything about this wedding was classic beauty and I squealed multiple times at all the pretty details and special moments (and yes I cried during a dance or two). I kind of wonder why i consider myself not super emotional but yet I cry at every single wedding. Like every single one. Totally emotional girl right here. 

I also wanted to mention a few things about my week since its almost the weekend: I started using a new interface for organizing my schedule + books and Honeybook is amazing you guys! If you're looking for something with contracts, streamline emails, and organizing tools its the best!! I  met with so many awesome brides the last month and IM SO EXCITED for all the awesome opportunities coming up. I'm looking forward to some free time with my husband and family this weekend too: we had a HUGE HALLOWEEN celebration planned but the weather made us call it off so we're spending some quality time together and I'm totally fine with the way it turned out. Now my question to you is should I take a few more photo sessions Sunday or take it off? I'm caught up on editing so I honestly could take a few more fall families/seniors.... any interest PM me :)

Fall Family Everything

I am all caught up on editing you guys! Thats impressive for October, a photographer's busiest Ohio month! I have a few more families, engagements, and holiday minis left but its been such a wonderful October. I had a fun Halloween party planned this weekend but its looking rainy and cold yikes! Come on October pull through!!

How Im a stay at home mother and a boss babe

When I meet other creatives in our current over saturated photo field and they are also successful role models and parents-- that's a BIG deal. (And if you see your photos below I'm also talking about you, YOU are a big deal.) How do you navigate becoming a mother, which in my opinion is so freaking hard; and also finding what you love, cultivating that, and becoming financially stable at that thing. Well its really hard. I don't think there is a one size fits all and we all find out own way but one current thing trends throughout: work! I don't even know if I could just chill for an entire day, my mind would explode. You think about the next thing and the next thing and so on. It's exhausting. You have to find a tribe of people who cheer you on and help you grow into a better you. 

For me that looks like supporting my marriage, listening when I feel down, telling me I CAN, and yes telling me over and over again Im a great mom. No one needs people around them tearing them down. No one likes to share their fears when they don't feel comfortable. I try to extend my ear and my heart for others to feel safe enough to share the good and bad-- because honestly we're all going through it.
