With temperatures in the teens lately, looking back on this day with Meredith Brockington awakens memories of cool autumn days where the sun shone after 4:30 in the afternoon. Well, those days are long gone! However, it’s fun to remember the whirlwind photo shoot. We were still working with limited daylight back in October, but Meredith has a remarkable sense for setting a scene and using the light to her advantage. Toss in the fact that the two of us aren’t what you might call naturals in front of the camera and these beautiful shots she captured are especially impressive. We all shared many laughs during the course of the shoot and subsequent editing session!

As we’ve shown you already, Meredith is absolutely brilliant behind the camera and captures not just images, but an atmosphere, a story with feeling. We have dozens of photos from this day that you’ll see incorporated into projects down the road, but we couldn’t keep these to ourselves any longer and had to share just a few!

We apologize for being so gosh darn quiet around here. It’s not for lack of creating- a lot is happening behind the scenes! As anyone who has built anything- a business, a house, a dinner party- can tell you, it happens in periods of leaps and bounds, and painfully tiny baby steps (mincing and dicing and chopping are tedious but then it all comes together in a delicious entrée!). These small steps that seem to take a lot of time and don’t feel terribly rewarding in the moment are crucial to the big picture. When the time comes for the big reveal, you’ll be the first to know!

In the meantime, we’re just hopping onto the holiday decorating train so stay tuned to see where we’re hanging our boughs of holly, and what our halls look like all decked out!

Happy Monday! Hayley + Blair
