October

We survived October!

Someone this past week said I looked really tired. I said "I worked everyday this month!" They asked why I was working so much in October? That's a easy answer... Tree color! Everyone wants pictures with that perfect cool weather and pretty leaf colors for the background in pictures. I don't blame them! It's true, it is beautiful and I would want the same thing! 

So with pictures a couple times through out the week plus double that on weekends and editing all those pictures everyday..... I am always a little tired at the end of October. And of course I have to have a little personal life too! So trying to do it all and stay healthy at the same time can put me in for the drawing of the extra stress cruise! 

So what do I decide to do at the beginning of the month? Give myself a project? Yup! Ha just what I needed! Something else to do! I wanted something fun I could do while I was in this busy month. I decided to capture a video for each day of October. Not knowing if I would stick it out, I told myself it could be a short film each day, nothing grand. And that's just what I did! 

I spent a lot of time in my car driving from Fort Wayne to Bluffton for pictures. Then back to Fort Wayne to sleep and then do it again the next day, so sometimes I had to take a video in the car! But oh well, that was my life this month. 

After putting this video together I was happy looking back on the busy, busy month. I was happy to see it wasn't all that bad and I had the video to prove it!


Cain also seemed to have had a busy month too. He has been working hard on getting good grades (which is working!)  and with work and drill he is gone almost every weekend.

Someone yesterday saw Cain and I together and said "nice seeing you two together, normally one of you is always working!" it's so true. I hadn't thought of it until then. 

I would like to say that is going to change but that's where we are right now in life. We do see each other, don't get me wrong. But we are probably not out and about when we do have days off together. We are cuddled up on the couch watching a TV show we both enjoy or preparing a meal to eat!

You know I can't write a blog post without saying something about food! I would just like to make a note that I stayed sugar free all this month even through the stress of work. I ate a lot of healthy fats to keep me full and my mind clear!

This whole no sugar thing has become eye opening to me. I can think so much more clear and I no longer crave sweets. Weird right? I can stop sugar cravings by NOT having sugar.

Something worth trying ;)

Here is October :)

Autumn brings pretty colors but grey skies...

It was a beautiful sunny day until I needed to take pictures and it turned on me! This time of year is so amazing with all the autumn colors, yet the weather doesn't stay nice enough for you to enjoy it from the outside! I have 4 sessions coming up for the end of this week and then throughout the weekend, and a wedding Saturday! I'm praying that the weather holds steady for me to get some nice and pretty fall pictures! No more rain and grey skies!

This was taken last week on one of the nicer days. Love all the yellow and gold lighting. 



I wanted to write something poetic on these but I'm just not that crafty with words. Anyone have a good saying or verse to put on these?! Comment below if you have something in mind! I think this would be a nice desktop background :)

After a week of waiting Cain finally heard back from Lowes and they were smart enough to want to hire him! So starting next week Cain will be back on the work force and I will go back to missing him through out the day! Wont lie, it's been nice having him around the house lately! But we are both thankful for the job. Can't wait to see him in the blue vest hehe ;)

Hope everyone has a great night!

This past Saturday didn't look like it would clear up from the rain and a cloudy sky. But for about 4 hours the sun was shining, the rain stopped and I was able to take pictures at a backyard wedding and then this kid/family session! 

The Shaw family used to live right down the road from me. I was lucky enough to actually baby sit these adorable kids for a couple of years before they moved. I was very excited to see them again and take their pictures! It wasn't the warmest outside but they didn't seem to mind!
