was a busy busy day for us! We hosted the 3rd annual, “Katelyn James Bridal Spa Day” at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in Short Pump! This is an event that we look forward to hosting every year! What better way to spend a Saturday than receiving a free spa treatment and then Christmas shopping!? One by one, our brides made it into the RedDoor Spa on Saturday and it was one big reunion! We missed all of our “out of state” brides but they’ll be receiving a special little something in the mail soon! :)
So this is how the spa day works! All of our brides have a chance to make a spa appointment for either a facial, massage or Mani/Pedi combo! The brides come in for their service and while they’re waiting for their appointment, we get to catch up, snack on some goodies and my brides get to meet one another!! It’s SO much fun! 4 hours went by so quickly Saturday morning!! I just love these ladies and I’m SO thankful that they were in our lives this year! Michael and I wish ALL of our couples a very Merry 1st Christmas together as husband and wife!!! A huge thank you to all of the brides that drove in for the Spa day! I hope you were all pampered and treated like queens!! :) Here are a few iPhone pics from our time together!
If you’ve ever walked into a photo session and silently panicked about where to shoot… If you’ve ever crossed your fingers hoping golden hour would save you… If you’ve ever opened Lightroom thinking, “I don’t even know how to fix this lighting…”
Three years ago, Michael and I helped launch a school that would completely reshape our family’s life, and the lives of so many others. This past weekend, we traveled to Austin, Texas, for the annual Acton Academy Owners Conference, and I left with so much to share.
I haven’t done one of these Where I Am updates in a few weeks, and honestly? It’s because life has felt full and fast…but also slow and sweet in ways I didn’t expect!
You know those images that just glow? The ones where the lighting feels effortless, the tones are dreamy, and everything looks polished—even if it was taken in a less-than-perfect spot?
This week’s Where I Am is short, sweet, and exactly what it’s meant to be: a quick check-in on life, faith, and business.
Some sessions are special because of the people. Some sessions are special because of the place. And then there are sessions like this one… where everything comes together to create something truly unforgettable.
