A New Addition

I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

This week has been exhausting. I’m beat. It’s been successful but I’m beat. I convinced myself I’m so exhausted cause it’s the first week of wedding season. One wedding down 15 more to go in this summer stretch. This summer stretch is going to challenge me, and I’m stoked for the challenge. 16 weddings in 16 weeks. Well really those 16 weddings happen over 13 weeks. I get 3 weekends this summer to escape to the mountains. Where no one can find me. 🙂

The first week is a little rough. Getting back in shooting mode. The weekly tasks that need done. Finding time to have a weekend in the middle of the week when I feel like I should be working. So I told myself this is why you’re tired. First wedding, camping, back to the grind on a short week, now prepping for this weekends wedding. But I don’t think the real answer of me being tired has anything to do with wedding season.

You see. We have a new addition. A baby. Who needs to potty ever few hours during the night. He’s small. Soft. Cute. Dark. And gives lots of kisses. His name is Gus. An adorable black lab pup.  In his short 9 weeks of life he is already a mountain guy. Going from one mountain range to the next. Literally. Camping. Ran in a foot of snow. Living up to his name. (Named after a dope pro skier, Gus Kenworthy.) I think he’s gonna love jumping through some fresh powder.

Fortunately I know the groom from our last wedding pretty well. We go wayyyyy back. So I knew they wouldn’t mind a little puppy love and all of the children went crazy playing with him. So Gus’ had his first real picture taken on Sunday. With my bride & groom, Ariana & Jonathan. They requested it. Gus did well. He’s gonna fit in real well around here.

Now if only I could nap when he naps throughout the day…….
