Good morning friends! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather we are having! I hope it stays like this for a while! OK, I have to admit….I’ve been slacking in the blogging department, What a crazy couple of months it has been! BUT I have been doing A LOT of “behind the scenes” work with the business and I am so happy to see my hard work paying off! I have designed and ordered new sample albums, updated and ordered my bridal guide, completed all of my tax paperwork, stayed up to date with all of my 2016 expenses, updated my wedding contract and all consent forms, designed and ordered new marketing materials(business and thank you cards, and brochures), updated all of my business email documents, decided on my couple’s gifts for the year and ordered everything, shot a few sessions, and am almost completely booked for 2016 and even started booking 2017 weddings! Im sure there are plenty of things Ive missed listing, but that is a big chunk of it! Now that wedding season has officially kicked off, I will be posting more frequently! 🙂 I am looking forward to implementing the Manic Mondays again because it really does help me stay on track with my “to-do” lists. I have my goals for the week below the sneak peek from Jesse and Charity’s wedding this past weekend! I am excited to share more soon!
