Come Together | Registration Opens at 12EST!

Join us on June 11th in Fredericksburg, VA!

filed in:

Today is the day! Registration for our Come Together event that we’re putting on with our dear friends Amy and Jordan Demos will open today at 12 EST! It’s hard to believe that this is actually happening… why you ask? Well, you see… sometimes when we’re with friends… especially friends that run their own businesses, we have conversations together about what’s next and then we start dreaming up big ideas! MOST of the time, these big ideas are just that… they are IDEAS. Most of these IDEAS never turn into ACTIONS but if we’re lucky…. every now and then… one of them becomes a reality!

We are incredibly thankful for those that are EXCITED and pumped up about the Come Together event that we announced last week because this is a great example of our big, crazy ideas actually coming to fruition right before our eyes!!! We cannot WAIT to teach this audience of creatives about the power of blogging, social media and so much more. For those that may have missed last week’s post, here are some of the details!! For those that are just ready to claim your seat at 12pm EST, you can use THIS LINK to signup!

Quick end-of-year tips from Michael!

Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.

Tyler + Abby | Engaged A Washington DC Capitol Engagement Session

This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.

Brian + Shannon | Engaged Virginia Arboretum Engagement Session

When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!

Nikhil + Paige | Engaged A South Congress Engagement Session

This session is beautiful… if I do say so myself! It’s colorful, it’s vibrant, it’s full of joy and it’s also LONG! It’s a lengthy post because I just had so many favorites and I absolutely loved my time with these two last week! Paige, like a lot of our brides, is a photographer herself! She’s talented, full of life, energetic and creative. I felt the pressure to take this location that she knows well and make it look fresh and knew to her!! Nikhil is an audio engineer for Apple (which we think is fascinating!) and despite hardly ever wearing a suit, he wore one for Paige and made all of her outfit dreams come true!
