brag really quick!? I just got back from the GYM! Can you believe it?! I know it’s so unattractive to be prideful but in this moment…. I am SO PROUD of myself. It’s 9:35 and I’ve worked out, showered, done laundry and now I’m working on the blog and emails. I’m just so happy with myself right now!! The only thing that would make this morning PERFECT would be if this torrential downpour outside my window would turn to sunshine! I’m not complaining though. Sometimes rain helps me work faster and more efficiently because I know that I wouldn’t rather be outside.  So on this rainy day in the office, I’ll be editing a wedding, listening

to thunder and returning emails…. I’m kinda excited about it!  Over the last couple of weeks a few blogs have featured some of my work and I’m so honored. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and let you all know how much I appreciate it!! Be sure to check some of these links and leave them some blog love!!

.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Green Wedding Shoes for featuring the SUGAR SHOOT! I was beyond thrilled to see all of this hard work featured somewhere! The vendors that helped out with this shoot were amazing! Thank you Green Wedding Shoes for showing them off!!!!

Also…. I could never forget the amazing Janie from The Bride’s Cafe! She’s such a dear friend!! Be sure to view her feature on the SUGAR SHOOT and she has some beautiful inspiration on her blog right now!!

A special thanks to Simply Kelly Blog for featuring the OFFICE! I LOVE home decorating blogs…. maybe a little too much! I need more rooms in the house so my decorating doesn’t have to come to an end!!!

And then my last “Thank you” goes to Modern Weddings for showing off Katy and Jordans super fun downtown Richmond engagement session at Main Street Station!

Thanks for reading!
