Fresh Brewed Friday – My weekly “coffee date” with you all

Happenings: Celebrated the Packers big win by drinking a delicious Bloody Mary and cheering as loud as possible with my best friend, Kandace. Alexander tried cheering too but only meows came out.

Photographed a lovely Maternity Session with Sarah and Michael. They are expecting their first child, a baby girl due in January.

Photographed JD, Rachel, and their adorable son, Wolfgang. When Wolfgang smiles, my heart just melts!

Received some big, exciting news!! I was named one of The Knot’s Best Of Vendors for 2015!! Thank you so much to my amazing clients who spoke such kind words about me and my services. They are so wonderful and I’m so blessed to know so many great people!

Slowly started decorating for Christmas – by that I mean I took down my Halloween decorations and hung a holiday wreath on my door. (:

New Favorite: My mint-colored Kitchen Aid mixer!!!! My sister surprised me with an early birthday gift, the mixer of my dreams! I cannot wait to use it!

Thankful: The little things. I read an article this week about changing your perspective on things people typically complain about. A barista misspelling your name on your Starbucks cup. Never being able to find a pair of matching socks. Having so much homework to do. Instead of complaining, look at all the blessings you have. Disposable income to go to Starbucks. Having more than one pair of socks to keep your feet warm. The privilege to go to school and receive an education. It’s easy to complain but I challenge you to see your life as a beautiful blessing and find the good in each day.
