The past few days have been non-stop insanity! And I am loving every single second of it! Everything kickstarted last week when I photographed my friend Courtney’s latest design project! Courtney is the incredible interior designer who helped me with my Coastal Office earlier this year and she has become one of my really close friends!
Afterwards, Courtney helped me style my office for a Baltimore Magazine Interview + Shoot (Ahh!) that was a lot of fun as well! I couldn’t help but snap a few images of my office after we re-styled it with these gorgeous blossoms from Intrigue Designs in Annapolis. I wish I could have blossoms like this in my office every day!
Oh! + A little iPhone Selfie of Court & I after the shoot! Love this girl!
On Saturday I photographed an amazing wedding at the Baltimore Country Club for Meghan & Andrew! It was elegant, romantic, and filled with incredible moments! I am so excited to share this one with all of you, but I’ll post just a tiny sneak peek to hold you over until later on this week!
On Sunday, Huey and I did our regular post-wedding brunch together and after one of my two meetings rescheduled – we had a chance to take the dogs to the park. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and it was nice to spend an hour just strolling around Arnold together, aimlessly chatting about our week. During wedding season, these slower moments don’t happen as often as I’d like… So I really love unexpected opportunities to spend time together! (AND – I can’t believe that our One Year Wedding Anniversary is coming up in a few weeks… it’s amazing how fast time flies!)
Later on Sunday evening, I drove down to Bridget & Matt’s Family Farm for a reunion and maternity session! I photographed this incredible couple two years ago for their wedding and now Bridget is expecting a beautiful baby girl in July! (Yay!) – I absolutely love having the opportunity to follow a couple as their family grows! Bridget, Matt, and Riley have a very special place in my heart!
I’ll be sharing more from their session at the end of the week! Ahh! Can’t wait!
AND – Last week, I announced that I’ll be co-hosting a Workshop with my best friend Krista at the Historic Kent Manor Inn in August! I’m excited to announce that half of the tickets are already gone (half way to sold out! yay!) and there are just a few seats left! The workshop has some fabulous sponsors that will be spoiling our attendees rotten AND we’re teaming up with Caitlin Moran (Editorial Director of the Glitter Guide) as well as the Janelle & Staci of Baltimore Bride Magazine to put together an amazing experience for all of the photographers!
It’s an amazing opportunity to learn, shoot, and become a part of a little community that we’re hoping to grow together! If you want to snatch up one of the remaining spots, you can Reserve your Seat to The Workshop!
