APRIL RECAP

1. Use a more efficient method to track financials/wedding expenses.

• CHECK. I have every expense listed out in a spreadsheet ready to incorporate into my new business plan AND bring to my accountant.

2. Workout twice a week outside of basketball nights.

• CHECK. Whether it be the running at the gym (yawn), playing basketball outside, playing softball, or going on walks… I’ve definitely been more active this month. It helps with the nicer weather (finally) getting here. Hopefully this month I can get back into the gym studio for classes. My knees have been killing me lately, so I’m thinking of getting into spinning. Any other suggestions? Would LOVE to hear some ideas in a comment 🙂

3. Master my external flash.

• HALF CHECK. I’m getting there. Definitely improved from where I was last month.

4. Finish all May wedding timelines.

• HALF CHECK. Just have 1 left. Everything has been so hectic that I haven’t gotten around to my last one yet, but it WILL get done this week.

5. Set up my new proofing interface for clients.

• CHECK. Now using Zenfolio to post proofs and sell prints. Learn more about printing your photos with me on the blog.

MAY GOALS

1. Revise business plan.

2. Meet with accountant.

3. Finish editing 2 out of 3 May weddings and submit for publication.

4. Take at least 4 gym classes this month, in addition to playing rec sports (basketball, volleyball, and softball).

5. Make a smoothie/juice for breakfast twice a week.

Special side-note: I shot a wedding this past Friday where SO MANY guests, whom I had no idea had even seen my work, had the nicest things to say about my photos. I just wanted to say I truly, truly appreciate all the kind words and it makes me feel so incredibly proud, appreciated, flattered, giddy, and blessed to be doing what I’m doing and that people are actually seeing my work (and liking it). I definitely wouldn’t be able to put in all the hours if it weren’t for people taking the quick few seconds to say they love my photography. So, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart 🙂 Shout out to Mal Purdom for admittedly reading my blogs every week too! Love ya!

And in case you missed it, here’s a little sneak peak from that wedding on Friday… obsessed.
