Tonight the sun sets on summer, and fall begins (in my mind, anyway). I always feel a little bittersweet about this, but I can honestly say this past summer was the best one yet! This time last year I had just moved to a new city with big dreams and a hopeful heart. Now, I finally feel like I’ve made this place my home. And nothing feels better than that!
So cheers to some amazing memories made with some amazing people!
This summer I….
- Explored DC and northern Virginia! A year ago I was completely lost, but now I have a general sense of where I am most days. 🙂
- Flew back to MKE to eat all the chips and orange salsa at Belair.
- Visited my hometown to celebrate a best friend’s beautiful wedding, Serbian style.
- Realized just how much fun second shooting weddings can be.
- Celebrated my 26th birthday with close friends, margaritas and so many tacos.
- Learned how to love flash in a single day.
- Went to Universal Studios (and by that I mean Harry Potter World!)
- Fell in love with sunrise sessions. Because that light is perfection.
- Spent a few mornings drinking coffee on a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
- Perfected my dive into ocean waves.
- Proceeded to get stung by a jellyfish.
- Faced my fears and got back in the water.
- Went to my first concert at Wolf Trap.
- Participated in my first styled shoot. Blog post coming soon!
- Completed my lens collection (for now). The 70-200mm really completed my life.
- Spent countless hours cuddling with Chewy the wauzer.
- Realized that as busy as this season of life gets, it’s so important to slow down for a few minutes and enjoy the moment.
I would love to hear more about your summer in the comments! What was your favorite day?
