Megan and Brian sitting in a tree.

If you saw my post I most definitely did get a flat tire on my way to their shoot. I was several miles out and hit a huge rock in the road – think chunk of cement from construction or something – and in slow motion I saw it coming as I could do nothing to avoid it. I owe it all to Gary, a stranger that stopped to help me change my flat and speed up the process so that I wasn’t out there alone. Thanks, Gary.

I called Megan and Brian to let them know I would be a few minutes late and it was perfect timing for them. Megan was busy washing off her makeup and reapplying to her liking- she had her makeup done at a salon as a trial for her wedding and it was not what she was looking for. (Amen to trials for hair + makeup, since it’s good to know what you’re getting before hand)

We met in Highland Park and honestly guys, you were naturals. Before I took the first picture they warned me about being camera shy… but I don’t know what they were talking about. You’ll see what I mean. Until then is that not the best climbing tree you have seen?

Today I drove a north of Harrisonburg to Glenmont Farm; there is so much beautiful farmland in Virgina and Glenmont is no exception. I had a great shoot with Hannah, Gabby, and their horses and here’s a little look at what I captured.

While today’s shoot was great I also have to admit I was exhausted. Let’s just say I had a few phone conversations and most of them started with “did I just wake you up?” Unfortunately that was never the case, I think I just sounded tired all day. Yesterday was our first indoor track meet (as you know my husband coaches xc+track and I am an assistant) and we had a really long day. It was a great meet and I was so glad to be there as I’m obviously not able to make it to all of them since I’ll be shooting weddings.

I feel soo much better today after dinner because we had my favorite meal. It’s been working it’s way up my favorites chart for a while, and I think I’m going to give it the number one spot… at least for winter (do you categorize your food favs by season?). So what is this number one?

Matt’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. I know what you’re thinking – oh I like homemade chicken noodle soup too – and although I haven’t tasted your soup, I think mine is better. This recipe is all creamy delicious broth expect for the chicken and homemade – yes, they have to be homemade – noodles. I could eat just the broth it’s so good and packed with flavor and would share it with you if I could. Now, this is totally Matt’s recipe- or at least his adopted recipe since he really found it in Emeril’s Del Monico cookbook and made just a few alternations, so if you want I can share it with you to try at home.

Well I need to get to bed early tonight so I’m productive tomorrow. Off to bed!
