August 2013 Goals

Exciting things are in the works, y’all! This month is going to be a good one. In June, we had team photos done by the amazing Eric Kelley, and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day mentor session with him and Lora, all about shooting in film. We were so blessed to work with them! I’m so grateful to call them friends and to have beautiful images that I will treasure the rest of my life. I seriously cannot WAIT to share them with you. The team photos were for a new site update that is coming this month, with a new logo, full new galleries featuring Elizabeth and Callie’s work, my most recent work in film, as well as lots of other little changes. Beginning in 2014, Callie and Elizabeth will be shooting primarily in digital, and I’ll be shooting primarily in film. Lots of wonderful changes happening. After all these fun updates this month, we’ll be ending August with a fun celebration of 5 years of business. I’d love for you to join us!
All in all, this month is going to be a good one. My dear friend Lara has initiated #intentionalaugust, and I am jumping right on board. Love that. Let’s be intentional about every area of life this month, especially the simple ways we can celebrate life. Who’s with us?
And don’t forget to keep stopping by the blog this month for lots of fun (and potentially embarrassing) updates. We’ll be journeying through the last 5 years of NRP as we lead up to the celebration party on August 30. There will be fun facts, images from my first photoshoots, the craziest things I’ve seen at weddings, and some exciting giveaways. Please leave lots of comments and join in the fun as we laugh and remember the growth I’ve experienced through the years. Stay tuned!
