Can someone please explain to me how we are already halfway through the last month of summer?!  This summer has been especially crazy and has gone by even faster than normal! Is anyone else with me? The busyness of this month certainly accounts for the late goals post, and the fact that this month has been a bit of a catch-up month for me.  And… the Olympics are here!! Which means its basically like Christmas for me for a whole two weeks!!  The point of today’s post is to highlight all the fun/happenings of the month of August! It’s going to be a great month filled with so much pretty and fun.  My main goal for this month is to seek rest before the fall wedding season begins!!

THE MONTH OF AUGUST AT A GLANCE

  • On the calendar this month are two beautiful editorials, engagement sessions, and a DC Wedding.
  • The OLYMPICS (!!!)
  • This month Morgan and I celebrate 8 years of being together… its so crazy that we’ve been together for so long, but at the same time it feels like it was yesterday that we started dating!
  • We also had our week-long camp this month and it was such a good week!!

BUSINESS GOALS + DREAMS

  • Be intentional about encouragement for other creatives this month!
  • Blog at least 2-3 times a week and be consistent in my tagging.
  • Shoot my photoshoots well and keep an efficient workflow
  • Research starting a newsletter – say what?! Comment below with some of the things you’d love to see in a weekly/biweekly newsletter!! I’d love to hear about it!

PERSONAL GOALS + DREAMS

  • Work out at least twice a week!
  • Start painting again!
  • Find and try two new recipes this month, and share them (#iknowyoucarewhatwereeating)

    I am in the same boat with the Olympics; I can’t stop watching! If you find some good recipes you will have to share! I recently ventured into the world of cooking and I actually made something that tasted amazing! (That has never happened before!!)

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
