I’ve been kind of quiet in the Facebook world in the last few weeks… because I have been so so busy. I am finally caught up except for a session I just did yesterday and births… I’m not too far behind though so I’m proud of myself! Births take forever to edit because I give way too many images in a gallery and I edit every single image. I don’t batch edit. So I decided to take a second and blog my October!
In October, I posted a photo every day to raise awareness for stillbirth and infant loss on Facebook. I got a really good response from it and I am super happy with it. My last blog where I introduced the babies that I have photographed and are now in Heaven… I knew people would either love it or hate it. I’m glad I think the majority loved it. And if you didn’t love it, eh I’ll just pretend you did! 😉
I also turned 3o. Yes. 30. WAHHHHH! I cannot believe I am THIRTY YEARS OLD. Didn’t I just graduate high school? Time is flying. To celebrate, 11 of my closest friends (minus a few that couldn’t make it) spent 4 days in the Great Smokey Mountains in a huge cabin, and we had the time of our lives, with no kids. It was incredible and so much fun.
Jillian had a field trip to the pumpkin patch, and Hayden had a pumpkin Math day. Both were tons of fun, I truly enjoy being a part of my kiddos classrooms.
I also ran a half marathon. Yea. No big deal. lol. Just kidding. The Nationwide Children’s hospital half marathon. I didn’t train like I should have but I made it. I have no idea how I made it through because it was the worst thing I have ever done, and I will never do it again. It was for an amazing cause… that’s the only reason I kept going. I couldn’t walk for a week after and my foot still isn’t right but hey, I completed 13.1 miles. I ran/walked until mile 9… at that point I was in tears. I didn’t know how I could take another step let alone 4 more miles. I cried, a lot. Sobbed really lol. but Eliana’s momma Naomi met me at mile 11 (the angel mile) and I literally fell into her arms and cried that ugly cry. haha! She walked my last 2 miles with me and then I ran across the finish line. What an experience. I am glad I did it! Next year, I will be volunteering instead of running though. 😉
I also photographed the Zassys Treasures Barn sale, and as always it was INCREDIBLE! Tons of vendors, and people. Cassy really is so talented. I hope to do a blog post on that soon too.
I surprised my husband with Dustin Lynch tickets… vip. haha
A friend of mine had a double mastectomy and rocked it. I had the pleasure of photographing her and her husband a few days before the surgery. God, she is beautiful. Keep Kickin’ cancers bootay girlfran.
We had trick- or- treat and a HUGE kids halloween party. Way too many children lol.
I had three births (a surrogate birth that I can’t WAIT to share)Â and 4 newborn sessions. Just in the last two weeks.
and two days of Fall mini sessions.
I also found the perfect assistant that I have hired, she will start sometime next week or so. I’m really excited to have some help and I know she will be amazing, I can’t wait to introduce her!
Can you guess what Jill was for Halloween? lol Hint: Hocus Pocus ;)Hayden had a little wardrobe malfunction so ended up being a hunter at the very last minute. haha!
