After a SUPER long but exciting weekend, I was tired. Specifically tired of driving. So Monday rolled around and I wasn’t thrilled about the thought of driving 2 hours to DC for the Showit’s Free to be Me Tour. If you know me at all, you would know that that is not me. I’m normally thrilled to get together with people, especially photographers!!
So I was doing great. I had made it off the interstate and then that’s when my Garmin decided to forget how to work. It froze and I had to figure out where Street F was! Wouldn’t you think it would be in between Street E and G?! Yea, well DC’s roads are by far the most confusing roads ever! It’s a miracle I made it to the Ebenezar’s Coffee Shop right behind Union Station. If you haven’t heard the story behind Ebenezar’s, check out their website! So coool and such an awesome place!
After I finally found parking and the massive thunderstorm rolled in, I made it inside. My attitude changed completely! It was like I remembered…. “Aw I do love people!” and “Yes! This drive was worth it!!” I LOVED and I mean LOVEDDD getting to know new friends and meeting some blog readers (What?! I have blog readers?!) and hanging out with some old friends. Photographer’s are just wonderful! So welcoming and fun and quirky. And when I say quirky, I mean that in the nicest way! I’m quirky… I remembered my chewing gum that I bought before the show but not my notebook to actually TAKE NOTES from the speakers! I’m a mess!
Anyway, I’ll get on to the pictures! (I haven’t blogged much recently and so I feel like I’m just rambling on and on!)
The talented Molly Jenson was our musical guest for the evening and she was great! Such a nice addition to the tour!
We heard from the Boudoir Divas, David Jay and last but not least, the super talented Promise Tangeman!
Awww friends!! Michelle, Julie, Me, Courtney!
Isn’t she cute! You should hear her awesome British accent! Such a sweet girl! Check out Kristin’s blog! 
Rebekah! Just love her and this was only our second time getting to hangout! It looks like I’m squeezing her to death…I wasn’t… I don’t think.
Happy Tuesday!
Thanks for reading!

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.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!
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.
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!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!
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!
