How do we know Christine + Eugene, you ask? She's the sister of a friend of a friend of a brother and sister's husband. LOL Just kidding... but really, she's my friend's sister-in-law. :) Our friend referred Christine to us, and it meant so much... Getting new clients through a referral is still the most fulfilling way of growing our business.
It's still kinda crazy to me that some of our clients either fly here or fly us to their location for shoots. This October marks 10 years of our business which is just crazy wild to believe. I look back and sometimes it's all a blur because everything happened so fast, but then again, I remember every detail of the journey.
When did Spring ever begin at the end of April in Georgia? We all know that we've been experiencing unusual weather this year, but it's slowly, but surely becoming Hotlanta again! I didn't ever think that I would miss the heat, but I guess I've become a true Southerner, and that heat is feeling good.
The older I get, the more I realize how small our world is. Until we met Michele + Jung, we didn't know that we had so many mutual friends! It's neat how much closer you feel to that person when you have something in common - they call that a "me too" moment, and it literally makes you feel more comfortable with that person.
So, before engagement shoots, one of the things that Craig gets to do with our couples is meet them in person at the consultation meeting and really get to know one another. One of the things I get to do is plan the engagement shoot with them. The most fun part of that is discussing their outfit choices! So, I texted Melvin to see what they had so far, and he said, "I'm wearing 1800 colonial american clothes.. and tori is wearing the swim suit from borat." (exact words).
It’s interesting how laughter is contagious... have you ever felt frustrated or just wasn’t in a good mood, but you hear someone laugh over and over and you can’t help but laugh or at least smile? It makes you realize that whatever you’re going through isn’t as bad as it seems. I’m blessed to have a husband who brings so much laughter into my life and our home.
Stories are what makes each one of us unique because we all have a story that's none like anyone else's. When Craig met Tawny + Neil for their wedding consultation, they shared Neil's love for trains. As soon as Craig heard, he knew that the Duluth Train Museum would be the most perfect place for their engagement session.
As I'm writing this, I'm in a state of shock that it's already March. Aren't you? I know everyone says it all the time, but one thing that I can't keep thinking about lately is how fast life is flying by. Our youngest turned 5, and I'm in denial of that... How can that be? There's never been such an urgency in my heart to really not waste time, but ironically, I've been realizing that 'slowing down' is what makes us appreciate time more and spend it with quality especially with those whom we adore.
