I’m almost 2 weeks into my much needed break from (scrolling through) social media! I pop in just a couple times a week to post/answer DM’s and it’s been so good for me! I’ve been able to focus on my relationships/friendships and have time for things that have been on the back burner for too long We are having a Friendsgiving with some of our neighbors tonight and having a flag football “game” with all the kiddos this morning! My motto the past 2 weeks has been “close your phone and open your heart” and that’s exactly what I’ll be doing today! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!! 
Ok, I’m officially obsessed with “micro weddings” / elopements! There is something so special about having only your immediate family and a couple close friends with you on your wedding day. Wendy and Eyob, thank you for letting me spend the day with you in downtown Cary capturing your love! Congrats to the newlyweds #corphotography #corphotographycouple #elopement #carywedding 
Spent my night photographing this adorable family! Peek at photo 4 to see the most adorable baby legs! #corphotography #familysession #fallminisessions #fallphotoshoot 
I’ve been editing away over here for what feels like all day every day! I have photographed 50+ sessions/weddings since September.... HOLY MOLY. Letting that sink in for a second Busy season in the wedding industry is no joke. It’s Definitely pushing me as a stay-at-home-working-mom to be present when I’m with the kids and put my head down and work hard when they nap/are at school. I’m learning that setting boundaries with work is key for my family and myself to thrive during hard/busy seasons. One more week and then I’ll be taking a much needed break for the holidays Love you all and thankful for all your support over this year! 
Signing back on to check my DM’s and post a couple photos from our family session tonight! We had no tears and lots of smiles, thankfully. I forget how stressful it can be to be on this side of the camera. I’m not used to it. So shout out to all my clients with kiddos who make it to their session on time 📸: @kristastevensphotography edited by me
