.| FEELING… |. I woke up Friday for Jackie & Keith’s wedding and felt a tiny bit of pain in my throat and my eyeballs BURNING. I was worried it would get me down on their wedding day but sure enough, as soon as I got up to Jackie’s bridal suite I switched into work mode and felt fine! The next day is a different story. Since Saturday I have been feeling SO sick. Monday and Tuesday I basically didn’t get out of bed at all. I wrote emails from bed! It really is awful being sick in summer, that should just NOT happen. I have been taking medicine like crazy and sucking on those Ludens cough drops to no end (which by the way really are the BEST cough drops ever. have always been my favorite since I was little!)

.| WATCHING… |. Does anyone else have a movie that they will ALWAYS watch when they are sick?? I remember when I was in the second or third grade I came down with a REALLY bad flu and stayed home for a week and my mom stayed home with me. Her friend from work let her borrow some musical VHS’s and we watched “The King and I” and “The Sound of Music”. Ever since then, I’ve associated watching The Sound of Music with being sick and really making me feel a little better. Maybe it’s the memories but I just HAVE to watch it to make me mentally feel better and it’s a great music to take a nap in the middle of because it is SO LONG you can wake up and catch the end! lol

.| WORKING ON… |. This blog may SEEM quiet lately but trust me, it is about to blow up with so many beautiful sessions and weddings to share 🙂 Last weeks engagement session is going up this week and hopefully I can get up this past weekend’s wedding! I blame being sick and taking all the energy out of me for not getting them up sooner 🙁

.| LOVING… |. I have finally tried out Zazzle, a great website to get personalized and custom products, and now I’m a bit obsessed. Besides ordering stamps with one of my photos on it I’ve ordered custom address and shipping labels. WHY I haven’t done this earlier I’ll never know. I am all about a company that is easy to use and quick to ship and that is Zazzle in a nut shell! LOVE them! Now what else can I order??

.| LISTENING TO… |. Not only am I really excited about making our annual trip down to Disney but I am REALLY excited to see the new Diagon Alley area of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios! I jumped on the Harry Potter band wagon a little late but that doesn’t mean I love it any less… I LOVE those characters, books and movies with all of my heart. I was just crushed to watch that last scene of them standing there on platform 9 3/4 in Deathly Hallows Part 2. I remember saying a sweet goodbye to them behind my tears (I can’t explain how hard I was crying in the theaters at that scene). Seeing Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure the last few times we went was so exciting but THIS!? This is something totally different and new! I’ve already warned Jose that we will be spending as much time as we have to at that park to see it ALL!  So besides Disney Parks music, I can’t stop listening to the music from the Harry Potter movies! What music will be playing when we walk through the brick wall into Diagon Alley?? Ahh I just can’t wait to see it all!

.| LOOKING FORWARD TO… |. Tomorrow’s Engagement Session! I am so busy shooting a lot of my 2015 couple’s engagement sessions now, so they can use them for their Save the Dates or get those beach engagement photos they always dreamt of before summer ends (and they get married next summer!) My couple tomorrow decided on their Engagement Session in Asbury Park and I’m SO excited about this! I love shooting in new places and especially a place I’ve visited a MILLION times and never got the chance to shoot. Plus I really do love beach engagement sessions… be sure to LIKE my Facebook page to see the sneak peek of their session tomorrow night!
