Wow, a lot of things have been going on lately and I’ve completely neglected my blog! Not intentionally, of course… but let me catch you up on some new and exciting events so you don’t think I’ve forgotten about you!

• New Blog. Anthony is working on my new blog layout. Granted, I just opened this one, but I needed to put one up to realize what I wanted and how I wanted it to work. So my new blog will feature larger pictures, calmer colors and match my branding much better! It’s been a slow process building the new site, due largely in part to the next bullet:
• We’re buying a house! We actually close in 2 days, and I can barely breathe. I’m known to have a bit of an anxiety problem, and this is not helping whatsoever. We decided to build a new home back in March and I can’t believe closing day is already here! I’ve been blogging about the process on my blog at work: The New Home Sales Guru (although, that’s been neglected lately, as well). But I’ll be posting lots of pictures this week. We close on Wednesday (how cool is our closing date? 07-08-09), and have painters coming in that day to paint most of the house. The weekend is all devoted to hanging curtains, lights, ceiling fans and other misc. items, then we move on July 17th!
• My new office/studio! My focus had primarily been on fashion photography just a short year ago… but I’ve really found my footing and vision in my wedding work since about November of last year, and it’s slowly taking over my plans for my business. I still love fashion, and still have plenty of fashion shoots coming up – but I’ve found my love for weddings again, and I’m so lucky to work with some of the absolute coolest couples ever. My new office will be less of a studio and more of a home office, but super swanky with chandeliers and a cool paint color called “Gothic Amethyst”! It probably won’t be completely finished until the end of August with everything I’d like to do to it… but there will be plenty of pictures posted once it is!
• Family, and more family. My little sister has been spending the summer with us and my parents are coming in town in the beginning of August for a whole week! I’m so excited to see them!! But it’s cutting in to my blog/work time

So that’s been my summer so far! I’ve actually taken some time to relax out by the pool (3 days now!) and get a little bit of fresh air and sun. I need more of those days

Also, big announcement coming at the end of the month. Can’t wait to share
