Mondays are definitely the worst. Weekend hangover – either from fun during the wedding off-season (this past weekend was my birthday, more on that to come!) or from working all weekend during the wedding season. Mondays are usually my ‘catch-up-and-make-a-plan’ type day and so, I figured that today would be a great day to post a few shots of my latest Secret Session. As a pick-me-up of sorts :). Love these sessions. They can really be whatever you want them to be – and it really makes an awesome and unique gift either for a husband-to-be, or as any kind of gift really. Or even for yourself – I think there is something really empowering and beautiful about having photos of yourself at a certain place in your life. For this session, A was totally and completely gorgeous and I’m so happy she was excited to share a few of her portraits.

For 2012-2013 brides, I am considering putting together a Secret Session marathon w/ hair & make-up – if you are interested, please drop me a line so I can see if a central location would work for everyone!
