Happy weekend friends! It has been another week of nose to the grindstone here. Productive but painful. I have done nothing but spend just about every waking hour either working or tending to our sick crew. After a week of disinfecting, habitual hand-washing and pumping vitamins, I have finally succumbed to illness. I don't know that it's strep, which I had many times as a kid, or just some cold virus, but it's got me. Fortunately, I don't feel as poorly as my children seem to, at least not yet. I hope it passes quickly as I have a TON more editing due and several client appointments this weekend, including a sunrise session.

My images this week include a trip to Fort Monroe for a client session. Fort Monroe, named for James Monroe, was completed in 1836 and has seen such visitors as Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe, Jefferson Davis & Franklin D. Roosevelt, among others. The fort was constructed during the War of 1812, but the site was "discovered" by the first settlers of Jamestown in 1607. It is a unique and interesting historic spot to say the least.

Other random shots include house-bound craziness and a beach pano. How was your week?

Thanks for visiting! Link up your posts and have a great weekend!

Happy Friday all! This week was especially crazy with hubs out of town and me wrangling work, kids and schooling solo. Fortunately he's back now, but I have a super busy work weekend ahead, and Little Miss came down with a high fever and body aches last night. Thank goodness for coffee and Aleve. They will be staples of my diet for the next few days.

I am excited that fall is here and the leaves are starting to change. It's in the mid-80s still, so it doesn't quite feel like fall, but a few signs of its debut are beginning to appear.

Happy Friday friends! I hope you've had a great week. Our week was productive, but I'll be honest, I am utterly exhausted. Back to school, back to kids' activities, busy portrait season, adulting...all of it is a bit overwhelming at the moment.

And in all day-to-day madness, I really haven't taken any personal pics. When I think about it, it has actually been months, many months, since I have spent any time on anything creative just for fun. I shoot all the time for clients, but any creative exploration has fallen by the wayside. I miss that freedom.

Anyway, my eyes are crossing and my kids are late for bed, again, so I'm posting the few iPhone pics I have to share and hopping off for the night. Here's hoping next week is a bit less hectic.

How was your week? Link up your posts and have a great weekend!

Happy weekend all! This week went by so quickly with the holiday, back to school, client sessions... the days are a blur and I'm totally exhausted. I have accomplished quite a bit, but looking at the mountain ahead, it seems like not enough. 

We did have some family fun last weekend. Hubs and I took the kids out for dinner Friday (totally casual sandwich shop, but super yummy). It was our anniversary (16 years!). I was supposed to work, so we didn't have plans for a date night. I ended up not having to work after all, so we headed out for a quick bite and enjoyed some live music.  We also spent some time pool-side over the weekend, and I hit the beach for a couple of client sessions. What have you been up to?
All iPhone pics this week :)

Happy holiday weekend friends! Looks like we'll be having rain and wind for much of the weekend, but I am enjoying the cooler temps. We're heading back to school Tuesday, so I have plenty of work to keep me busy indoors anyway.

This week was mostly nose to the grindstone with work. We did have another family birthday celebration last weekend. And I'm also sharing some pics from the newborn session I had with my new nephew and his family, even though they were taken a few weeks ago.

Mostly iPhone:

New babe.

How was your week?

Sending prayers for all those effected by Hurricane Harvey, and more prayers that this next storm heads off to sea.
