Well Evy will be 11 months old in 14 days…. it’s better late than never I guess! This month was a blur because of the holidays and being PREGNANT and having my sister and her family move in! What a season! It’s a fun season and we’re so thankful for it. I’m 14 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and that is still hard to wrap my mind around. I think it will begin to feel real when I start to feel him or her kicking!!
I think the BEST way to start 2018 STRONG is to have a game plan for how you’re going to maintain the motivation that you feel RIGHT NOW for the next twelve months! I mean, think about it…. are you really going to feel THIS motivated in September when your editing is piling up and you’re in the middle of your busiest season? Take a look back at your 2017 year. During what months were you thriving, and what months left you feeling swamped and overwhelmed? We all go through seasons where business life is hard, but there ARE ways that you can remedy the roller coaster of motivation that peaks and falls throughout the year.
Normally shoots in the dead of winter raise a few red flags for us. 1. It could be FREEZING!!! 2. There is a lack of color and 3. It can sometimes be really windy and miserable outside!!! So when Bri and Branden told me that they were going to be flying back home from Texas during the Christmas holiday, these thoughts did cross my mind. However, I knew that this was the best chance at making this shoot happen, and so we just needed to hope for the best!
Katelyn and her husband Michael are a husband and wife photography team based in Virginia. While they photograph all kinds of weddings – local and destination; in castles, beaches, and barns – their timeless style especially thrives while photographing vineyard, plantation and estate weddings in Charlottesville and Richmond VA. KATELYN JAMES : JOYFUL, GENUINE, TIMELESS.
