Beverly :: Bridals

Hey gang, I hope you all had a great weekend- I was pretty busy with shooting, but did manage to get a couple of hours of pool time in yesterday at my parents. I’ll try to keep up with my posts over the next couple of weeks, but my schedule is looking pretty crazy. I have so much editing to do right now. I don’t think I’ve ever been this backed up. I’m not complaining though- I am so thankful for each and every one of you who follow my blog or have had me as your photographer. Your support is where I find the strength to wake up everyday and work. Having your own business can be difficult to manage and balance your time. Even though I work from home while editing- I keep business hours as if I was “clocking in” somewhere. I work a lot of overtime, too ;) It can be tempting to want to wake up every day and just go get my nails done, go out to lunch, lay out by the pool and watch movies on the sofa. As relaxing as that sounds- I’ve learned to “save up” for those moments. I find balance by working really hard, so the times when I do get a “break” – – I’m able to enjoy it that much more knowing that I’ve “earned” it. I’m probably getting a little too personal right now- but I don’t really care. Every Sunday at mass I pray that God allows me to continue with this career that I am so fortunate to have. There will be a lot of late nights in the weeks ahead just trying to get caught up and that’s perfectly fine by me. My beach trips that are coming up will just be that much more rewarding.

I have been waiting to share these Bridals with you all for sooo long! I took these of Beverly in Baton Rouge, just a month or so before her Wedding. She was just breathe taking! Her makeup looked incredible, which was done by Suzette from UpSa Daisy salon. Hands down – the best! Beverly’s family reminded me alot of my own. BIG ITALIAN FAMILY! More on that tomorrow- when I’ll be blogging her Wedding images :) She had a crew of about 5-6 people with her during her Bridal Session, doing everything they could to make sure her photos were perfect! So here is a peek from our day. I drove the entire way back to New Orleans thinking about my job and how lucky I am to capture shoots like this.

So here she is……. these were some of my favs :)

Seriously, she belongs on the cover of a Bridal Magazine!
