A New Outfit

  • Bokeh the Beach Bum

we have trips coming up, it’s always a little bitter sweet because we have to drop Bokeh boy off with his grandparents. However, for this vacation, he’s with us! Yep! There are 8 adults and two puppies on this trip to Florida and we DROVE down in my parent’s motorhome! Talk about one big road trip!! :) I can’t wait to get home and share some Bokeh pics from the beach! He LOVES the water! Two weeks ago Michael went to Petsmart to get more dog food and he came back with something “extra”. So just when you’re about to say “Katelyn really? Another outfit?!”

  • Coaching

month was full of new adventures! One being a destination coaching session! This happened randomly! We were planning some engagement shoots in Chicago when I was asked if I would do a coaching session while I was there and I thought “Well why not?!”. It was so wonderful meeting Kelly and getting a little mini-tour of Chicago!! Michael and I would really love to traveling and do more destination coaching style workshops & sessions in the future but we need to know where to go! So if you’re out there and you’re reading this, leave a little comment for us if you think we should come to a certain area!!

This details question is a great one! It’s hard to shoot really awesome, cohesive details when you only have 30-40 minutes before the bride is getting in her dress! The trick it to think of a theme and stick with it. This is all because of the album…
