Hello, Beautiful!
I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter weekend filled with love and family. The weather in North Carolina couldn’t have been better. Hubby and I took our pups to the dog park Saturday, then had a little dinner date together at a quiet, casual yet sophisticated place here in Charlotte you may know as O’Charley’s.
On Sunday we loaded up our pups, the camera and camera hiking pack Thomas gave me for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, and some snackies, and off we went to Crowder’s Mountain State Park, my favorite hiking spot around here.
It was my first time hiking in about 9 months – due to a combination of planning my fall wedding while studying for the bar last summer and then encountering major back problems this past winter – and Lord did it feel amazing!
Every aching muscle in every step taken just reminded me that I’m out walking in God’ beauty instead of being bedridden, and I fully embraced “the burn” that came with it. The trail we took is a serious little b, a constant incline that zigzags around the mountain to the very top . . . and the view was beyond worth it.
Good Friday, however, was its own special little gem of a day, too. I got to spend time shooting head shots for my #1 girl boss friend, Sieana Robinson. I met Sieana a few years ago when I finally got up the courage to ask the prettiest girl in class who colored her hair (hi, Maryellen!).
One quick text to Sieana to introduce myself and she was sending me photos from Pinterest of exactly what I wanted, but didn’t know how to describe. I loved that our color sessions started off with a real talk convo about whether what I wanted was realistic, what Sieana’s vision for the color was, and laying out every single expectation on the front end. And I’m here to tell you, she slayed every single time. My respect for her quickly grew into a friendship (special thanks to group texts about “The Bachelor” and our shared disgust at Nick’s constant crying), and, well, here we are today. Soul sisters, girl bosses, friends.
Here’s a quick sneak peek of some of Sieana’s (unedited) head shots from last Friday. I’ve got a full post coming soon where you can learn ALL about Sieana’s skills, including her wedding day and special event availability. But for now . . . enjoy!
Isn’t she so gorgeous? We had the best time. If you’re in need of some head shots or lifestyle photos in the Charlotte area, contact me at weddings.wanderlust@gmail.com for pricing.
Have a beautiful Tuesday!
Until Next Time, Wild-Hearted Wanderer,
