noticed that I haven’t even had time to post a “goals” post in two months?! Gah!! I don’t think I’ve ever shot this many engagement sessions in such a short amount of time. Between those sessions and weddings every Saturday…I’m feeling a bit… what’s the word… DONE.  Yes, I’m ready to be DONE. However, I have one more FABULOUS  wedding to shoot and it’s going to be a favorite for sure. It’s the PERFECT wedding to end my 2011 season with. Then I have a few more engagements and a workshop. After next weekend…. my season is officially over and I get to do things like design a bazillion albums, deep clean our

poor house that has been neglected, organize my craft closet that is currently stuffed full of everything BESIDES crafts, actually do laundry weekly and spend time with my hubby. But for now, I have a presentation to write and a workshop to finish planning. So here’s something I havent posted in a while…. a “FEATURED” post. Now, I realize these posts are not the most  exciting things in the world, but if I’m being completely honest, it’s a quick post and it helps me keep track of my portfolio! ha! So I selfishly blog these posts when I’m in a rush and have tons to do. BUT today I’m making it a little more exciting!

 

If you’re a wedding photographer and your 2011 wedding season is coming to an end as well, leave me a comment with a link to your FAVORITE wedding you shot this year!  I love looking at other photographer’s blogs and so show me what you’ve got  and share your best wedding of 2011! After looking through the comments, I’ll be selecting a favorite or two and you’ll be receiving an e-gift to STARBUCKS!!!  So happy friday and I’m excited to see some fabulous wedding posts!!!!  ****You can leave your link in the “URL” field in the comment box as well as in the actual comment!! ****
