Today I uploaded 312 photos from the wedding I shot a week ago! yay. that made me happy. :)

I've been reading Dane Sanders book, Fast Track Photographer, and, wow - it's good. I took the pDNA test yesterday, and it was pretty cool to see where I was.

Today I listened to more Escalate Live. I was doing a lot more things away from my computer, so I didn't catch quite as much, unfortunately. What I heard was really good, though!

I also had my call with Christina. Other than that I was doing more research on logo styles I like. [i'm changing my logo] I sent the designer some information, so hopefully we'll get it in the works soon. yay.

Today I listened to the Escalate Live conference as much as possible. I was still working, so I had to do other things some, but a lot of my work is on the computer, so I could have it playing in the background. I heard Dane Sanders, Becker, and Jasmine Star. They were all great, and I am looking forward to listening to more tomorrow. :)

I think the biggest thing I learned today is that I have to make my photography uniquely ME, and then go from there.

Yesterday's wedding went well! even though the bride was an hour late due to her hairdresser, it started raining while we were taking bridal party shots [thankfully it didn't last long!], and the unity candle just would NOT light during the ceremony, I got great shots, and the bride and groom stayed calm, relaxed, and in good humor throughout the day. I posted a few shots on my blog.

I've been updating some things on my website and blog to try and get them lined up with my 5 words. I am not sure how I'm doing yet...heh. I have a feeling it will be a work in progress for quite some time.

This week has been insane. I've gotten some photography things done, but I just didn't think about blogging at the right times. :P

I had my call with Christina on Tuesday, which was quite exciting. I'm always inspired.
Since then I've been revising my blog, thinking about branding, and editing photos.

When I was ordering my moo cards for the wedding this weekend, I got them all finished, but for some crazy reason, my order would NOT go through. I have no idea why. Anyway, I ended up ordering them from another site and got them in yesterday. They're pretty cool, and I'm excited about giving them out tomorrow!

Today will include:
1) Get ready for tomorrow's wedding
2) Make sure I have my business cards packed in there. haha.
3) Place a photo order for a client
4) Finish editing a shoot from several weeks ago

today was not very profitable in terms of photography, although I did get a few things taken care of for clients. I also managed to do another blog post. I need to do them more, though. :(

I am setting a goal for myself to do at least one a week.

Goals for tomorrow:
1) Go through process and figure out which ones I need help with
2) Rate website and blog according to my 5 words
3) Talk with Christina
4) Try not to go crazy. haha.

I've been working late tonight at my job, because with training in the new office manager, I haven't been able to get much done the last three days. I decided it was high time to attack my very messy desk. I accomplished a lot, so now when I take my lunch break tomorrow to work on photos I'll be able to stay sane.

Today I feel like I've done so many things it would take more time than I have to write them all down. I had my call with Christina, and wish I had about 5 more hours I could dedicate right now to working on photography!

A few things I've done:
1) researched a bit on what it will take to start a business in Maryland
2) Ordered moo cards for a wedding I'm shooting in a few weeks
3) Worked on updating my website

Now it's time for bed, so I can be sane for another day of training the new office manager tomorrow. i have a feeling I'll be drinking lots of coffee. haha.
