The weekend that I edited four photo sessions....



Mercy me... I think I blinked & missed the weekend.

It goes by fast when you're behind a camera & the computer for 90% of it... another 8% of it sleeping... the other 2% cleaning up messes that Harvey Dent does.

... yes,.. more ate up rugs.

If you come to my home, just ignore the eaten up couch & the half eaten up throw rugs on the floor.



I so wish I was kidding.  But we're not going to buy new things until he gets out of this stage.  2 years will pass by quick... right?....



Friday was the day to release the preview for my little buddy Brittany's wedding.  I loved that the moment I put the pictures up, her mom was all over them.  I love excited mothers.  It's always so good for them to see the fruits of all their hard work in prepping & planning of the wedding.  I'd want memories of all my hard work too :)

It was so hard to pick which pictures to put up.  As soon as I posted my preview, I was like, but I didn't choose this one, or this one... but it was OK - I finished up ALL their pictures Friday night & was able to give them their entire album on Sunday so their family got to see all the pictures. (You can check them out too on my Photo website - you can click the button above that says "Rebecca Jo Photography" & it'll take you to the site)


Saturday, Ricky had to work... boo! .... & that means I don't get to sleep in because the dogs are all up & running knowing someone is moving around the house. 

I was supposed to do my PiYo workout but my shoulder is killing me from the week of it & all the photo editing, so I tried the Nike Kinect workout that we bought at Christmas that I never used.   Oh My GOODNESS!!! ... I never knew I was so out of shape... & love that I get to see myself on screen in all my out of shapeness.  Oh well, its a starting point & now I have a mission to kick butt.  I will say though, you have to go through a fitness test & it said women between the age of 41-45 average fitness score is like 29 - mine was a 47!  Look at that! 


I then needed to run up to church to do some pictures for our GCC Band.  They're doing a concert on August 30th at our church & needed some pics for advertisement.  I said I was excited to add "Bands" to my portfolio.  It was actually sort of just like a wedding party... except maybe a little cooler & hipper....

Makes it even easier because they're all my buddies at church... I can yell at them & they either 1. ignore me or 2. laugh at me.... friends are the best.





Ricky wanted to go out to dinner Saturday night & I told him only if its somewhere  I can go without make up & put on a baseball hat.  I wasn't about to put on make up & fix my hair at 6:30pm... I love eating dinner in running shorts & a stained up t-shirt. #idontcare


Sunday I got to meet up with my next bride & groom whose wedding is in less then 2 weeks.  They needed pictures for their wedding venue that is actually an old movie theater.  They wanted pictures to put in the movie poster area.  I can't wait to see my work larger then life.  So we met up, ran down the street & literally got in 8 shots in like 15 minutes.  BAM BOOM BANG!

More pictures to edit...


I finished those up & then headed into editing Miss Emerson's pictures.  I went to Ryan & Chasity's the week before & didn't get a chance to touch their pictures till the wedding ones were done.  Call me OCD. I hate starting one set of pictures till another is done.

So off to another editing frenzy...


I think I went to bed last night at 11:00... which was early because Friday & Saturday, I went to bed after midnight.

The computer was my slave this weekend...

But I think I'm all caught up. THANK YOU JESUS... because its going to be a beautiful week & that means I can sit outside & do nothing but soak up the sun, read some books & enjoy my dogs...

... screw cleaning the house...

This will LITERALLY be me ;)

How was your weekend?
 
Is it going to be cool where you're at?
 
Do you ever go out to dinner with no makeup on?

  6. Going out w/o makeup feels so GOOD! I usually only wear it when I'm going to work or somewhere where I'm dressed up... which isn't too often! haha
