A Little Bit of a Catch up!

Hi its been MONTHS since I've blogged which honestly breaks my heart. But wow, life has been insane lately. Let me begin on what all has changed since April! GAH, I'm so embarrassed that the last time I blogged was APRIL! Thats crazy. Time surely just zooms by. 

So here's what has happened...

Summer time was FUN! super busy.

First of all, in MAY, my husband finally encouraged me enough to start my own photography business. If you don't know, I have worked in photography for over TWELVE years! {That will be a blog post all on its own}

Since May, I've had a SHOCKING amount of sessions. Our business seriously took off very quickly and we were very shocked by that. We were not expecting to have the amazing start that we have. I'm super thankful for it and I have loved every single solitary second of it and we pray that it continues to grow like it has from the beginning!

Here are a few photos from a few sessions we've had so far!

Goodness, I could post and post and post more photos! I honestly cannot believe the start we've had. So our business was started due to our love for pets.When we lost our big boy Bailey, we realized we only had ONE good quality (non-iPhone) photo of him. So we realized the HUGE importance of having amazing high quality images of those sweet fur babies that truly become part of our family.

 I absolutely ADORE animals. They are honestly my life. I want to be KNOWN as a PET Photographer! Our website is also geared toward kiddos, (we love toddler aged kiddos...soooo much fun!) But since we started, I've had sessions that are outside of that Pet Portrait and Kiddo genre and we are absolutely fine with that. We've had maternity sessions, newborn sessions,  1 year Cake Smash session and senior sessions! It has been a BLAST and we can't get enough of working hard on our business. 

On top of running our photography business, I also work with animals daily and let me tell you it makes my heart so happy. Dogs are the BEST! They seriously add so much joy to this life it honestly makes me tear up sometimes thinking about it. {I know some people think thats crazy (AKA my mom haha!), but if you know me, you know I just have a very deep passion and love for them.}

So working nearly two full time jobs is  A LOT! So this is basically the reason why I haven't had any extra time for blogging. I will do my best to start doing better!

So since May, Aaron and I have been working non-stop. We also added a new family member to our sweet little fam. Introducing BAYOR GOAT, everyone! 

Baylor was a wee 10 weeks when we got him. He is now 15 weeks old and is growing at a rapid speed. He's going to be tall and lean! We LOVE Poodles and are sooo happy to have a Standard Poodle in our home! We could never replace our Bailey, but it feels complete again having TWO doggies in our home! 

Up next on the Evans' calendar are LOADS of more sessions, especially for the Holidays coming up. We have a fall event we are doing for the Wags N' Whiskers Rescue. The Husband deploys at the beginning of the year (BARF, freakin dread it!) and as far as the remainder of 2017, we have some fun weekend trips planned, a Foo Fighters concert to attend (for Aarons Bday),  some JEEP alterations to save money for, a 1983 Custom Deluxe to restore, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years to FINALLY enjoy together (since the hub was deployed during those holidays last year). And who knows what else Aaron and I will get into! 

So there's a little catchup on our life so far. Have a wonderful Tuesday <3

03.25.17 The Most Amazing Day of My Life

Hi There Friendies!

Aaron and I are finally back from our honeymoon and it was an absolute wonderful time with my

H U S B A N D!

Wow, it feels real real nice to say that ;) So let me start off by saying planning a wedding is tough t o u g h and it takes a lot of energy and time to do so. That's pretty much the main reason I've been MIA from my blog here and the fact that my laptop bit the dust. Thankfully, my sweet man got me all fixed up with a new MacBook. So now I am finally able to blog again!

So a wedding is a day that a lot of ladies, even as little girls, dream of for years and years. But, to be quite honest with you, I never could picture myself getting married...until I met Aaron. I knew I always wanted to get married but I couldn't ever picture it because I hadn't met the right person. Putting all the time and effort into planning our wedding was worth every single ounce of time, energy, and stress because our wedding was a DREAM for me. Everything was absolutely perfect, horrible weather and all and its a day Aaron and I will remember and look back on for the rest of our lives together! I cannot believe I am now

Here is a small preview of our special day! 

Enjoy :)

I will be back in a bit with the fun details of our honeymoon!!

HAPPY NY

HAPPY NEW YEAR 

my friends!

2016 was seriously an incredible year. I learned so much about myself this past year. 2016 had a lot of amazing times, but along with those were some rough times. I made friends and lost some friends. It was important for me to realize in 2016 that no matter where God puts you at certain seasons in life, that you're there for a reason. It might not make sense in the moment but later when you look back on things, you see them so clear and are so grateful for where they brought you. 

2016 was also the BEST year of my life. I am now an engaged woman and so head over heels in love with the person that God so specifically created just for me! Aaron Evans has made this year one I will never forget. We made so many fun memories this past year and they are ones that I will hold onto for a lifetime. 

Its now officially 2017 and in just a few short months I will be walking down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams. Ahhhh Mrs. Brianna Gail Evans sounds sooooo good ;) haha 

I spent my new years day with my sweet Bucky! Yall, I swear...holidays s u c k when you aren't with the person you love most. All day I was just on the verge of bursting into tears. All DAY! And I'm not ashamed to admit that at all. There's just only so many ways to keep yourself busy and some days you're just exhausted from trying to stay so busy just to keep your mind off of it. Anyway....our sweet baby Bucky is always right next to me making sure I'm okay. He's the sweetest pup! He must have learned it from his daddy!

My goals for 2017 are to be the best wife that I can be to Aaron. I can't wait to be his wife and I pray that God allows me to be the best version of myself just for him. I also want to stop letting fear of failing hold me back. I honestly feel like there are so many talents that God has given me, yet I sit on them year after year not fulfilling my purpose here. This year I really want to let fear go and stop sitting on the talent that God has given me. I also want to continue on fitness journey. The past year I have really really enjoyed spending a lot of time at the gym and I want to learn more and push myself more than I ever have before.

What are you wanting to conquer in 2017? Share away!

XOXO
