August Tidbits ~ Life Behind the Scenes

Oh hey birthday month!! How are you?! 😉

But before I go loving on September too much – let’s take a look at our wonderful month of August – in which we shot two weddings, a handful of sessions, and enjoyed a 3-week summer break/shooting hiatus, in which I did my best to catch up on work, spend as much time as possible with family and friends, and took a trip to the Pacific Northwest (which you all saw in photos last week)!

But enough chit chat – here is our month in photos! 🙂 (We had a lot more behind the scenes action in August – so we have a lot more behind the scenes pics!)

 

1. Love coming home to this view!

2. Happy face after making it through a crazy busy first half of our wedding season and to our summer break!

3. Beach day!

4. Off to Wisconsin we go to drop Chloe off at my parents’!

5. Hey Seattle!

6. Seattle sunsets did not disappoint!

2. It was HOT. Soooo SO HOT, so we thought $5 entry to the local pool was totally worth it! Smart decision! (Handsome husband!)

3. Pool selfie. Woot woot. 😉

4. Where’s Chloe?

5. She loves to bury herself under the covers by our butts when she sleeps. Seriously. She couldn’t get much further up there! haha
