These photographs give you a bit of an idea of what my life has looked like over so far in 2012! Thank you Lydia (my amazing second shooter) for taking these…and the others which are more embarrassing! I’ve been in a wedding bubble until now…one more wedding this month, then a break until August! Well, not really a break, I still have LOADS to do including…designing albums (thank you for being so patient with me people!)…updating the website…setting up Queensberry workspace (just subscribed today, I’m excited about this one!)…updating Portrait information… + working on a few exciting projects which I’m excited to share! I’m going to miss my lovely weddings during this winter season, but I’m SO excited to have the time to work ON my business, and not just IN it. This is the time that wedding photographers across the pacific are breathing again…it’s the end of the wedding ‘season’. And as important as it is to relax, recharge and get re-inspired for another season, I encourage all you wedding photographers reading this to take advantage of this “down” time! What can you do today that is going to make your business amazing and above average? xx   ** In addition to my Melbourne weddings, I am also still taking bookings for NZ weddings next season. Currently I will be in NZ for half of October 2012, half of December, part of January 2013, part of February 2013 and March 2013, please feel free to contact me for specific dates!**   MAY 2012 I’ve just come back to Melbourne! It’s so nice seeing Sammy again. Apart from 4 short days back in NZ, this month will be mostly be spent in the land of the Aussies :) I’m excited for these two lovely people’s wedding next weekend, and since it’s Lydia’s 21st birthday, I’ve asked Olivia from Lily’s Make Believe to help me with this wedding. I went to design school with Olivia, and she is INCREDIBLY creative and ridiculously stylish. Check out her amazing work here. I am in LOVE with her beautiful little maps.   SOME MAY BUSINESS GOALS   Get album designs sent! Set up Queensberry Workspace. Update Portrait Information + print price lists. Explore Beloved, do 2 Beloved sessions. Send accountant 3 year plan + all invoicing (get these up to date!)   SOME MAY PERSONAL GOALS   Catch up with Melbourne photographers! Oh did I tell you we got a car in Melbourne?! That was last months goal, I’m SO happy this one is crossed off finally!! Next is the sofa bed… Spend some time reflecting on the year, have quiet time each day. Have friends over for dinner. Plan an adventure with Sam.
