First photos on the new blog

So here are E & M from a recent maternity session. I photographed their wedding about 3 years ago and I'm so excited that they are expecting their first baby in a couple of weeks. It's so nice to see a couple who are still so much in love and have such amazing things going on in their lives.

They were one of my favorite wedding couples of all time and now I get to experience this next chapter of their lives with them. Thanks for letting me tag along on the journey.

I can't wait to meet the new baby!!!

The Triumphant Return of the BLOG!!!

I've had so many people over the past year ask why I quit blogging. The simple answer, I have been the most unorganized person on the planet for the past couple years.

This is sort of a confessional. I'm majorly organizationally challenged. I'm really great about going to Office Max and Target and spending massive quantities of money on baskets and organizational goodies. I really kinda stink at actually doing anything with those boxes and baskets though. I'll admit that for the past year my entire filing system has been fill a wicker basket with papers and when it's full, buy another basket. It's really really sad.

Sadly, my computer was almost as unorganized as the rest of my business. When I would receive a call asking about pricing for something or if a client has any remaining credit my system of organization was dig through baskets and do searches on my computer and pray.

My business has grown quickly and I've never taken the time to get myself organized and I've just continued to add more and more clients while never having a firm grip on anything.

I can't even tell you how proud I am that those days are behind me. I've spent the past few weeks actually organizing my entire business. I can even find things!!!! There's no more searching for 2 hours to find an invoice. The days of me digging through folders frantically and ready to pull out my hair are done. (Okay, perhaps I'm being a smidge optimistic but I can hope.)

It feels really really great to know that I'm going to be able to take care of my clients so much better now. I decided with opening the new studio in a couple of months I needed to get my act together.

Part of my new found organizational system means I'm going to have more time to dedicate to growing my business and servicing the clients I have. I'm also making a commitment to keep my blog somewhat updated. It's so much easier to update the blog with important reminders than it is to update my website (plus I'm much less likely to break stuff this way too).

So, here's to blogging in 2008~~~~~~~
