This is one of those days that seems surreal. There was a time in my business 3 years ago that I was barely keeping my head above water and I didn’t have time to dream or grow or explore anything new. Those were the days before outsourcing and GREAT systems. :) Now, I’m still busy but because I have handed over some things that I don’t HAVE to be doing, I can dream again!! One of my most recent goals has been to be able to teach ALL TYPES of small business owners! I did a coaching session with my friend Amanda a few weeks ago and she’s a floral designer… not a photographer!!
It was amazing to me how similar my social media and marketing strategies were! So much of what I do in my business can relate to other small businesses. So naturally, I decided that I wanted to teach and offer education to other small business owners… not just to wedding photographers.
So this leads me to my exciting announcement!! For the first time EVER, we’re hosting a SMALL BUSINESS SOCIAL!! This is a 5 hour workshop in our home for small business owners who are interested in enhancing their social media presence and marketing strategies! I’m excited about this for several reasons! 1. I get to meet new people with new stories and new types of businesses!! 2. I get to focus on one VERY important area of my business and spend a good chunk of time breaking down what we do and why we do it! And 3. I’m excited to share information that is transferrable to all types of businesses. This isn’t just about how to get brides to book you. For so long, that has been my only focus when I’ve been teaching and now I’m excited to expand!!
So what will be covered? I’m glad you asked!! For those attending the Small Business Social, you can expect these topics to be covered:
- Vision casting for your business
- The need for social media and how to be prepared for where it’s headed in the future!
- Technical and practical tips and advice for using the major social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest
- Incorporating social media into your day-to-day business life
- The value of personal marketing and showcasing your strengths through social media and blogging
- Creating systems, workflows and social media schedules that will produce consistent social media interactions and marketing patterns in your business
We’ll cover much more but we’ll be spending a lot of time on the areas mentioned above!! Can’t wait!!!! These 5 hours are going to be packed full so be sure to come with specific questions and we’ll have a 30min Q&A at the end of our time together to wrap up! Workshop seats are $350 but will be on sale for the first 48 hours for $299! Just enter “EARLYBIRD” in the coupon code area when registering!!
Interested?! Grab your seat HERE!!!
Thanks for reading!

Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!
This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!
This session is beautiful… if I do say so myself! It’s colorful, it’s vibrant, it’s full of joy and it’s also LONG! It’s a lengthy post because I just had so many favorites and I absolutely loved my time with these two last week! Paige, like a lot of our brides, is a photographer herself! She’s talented, full of life, energetic and creative. I felt the pressure to take this location that she knows well and make it look fresh and knew to her!! Nikhil is an audio engineer for Apple (which we think is fascinating!) and despite hardly ever wearing a suit, he wore one for Paige and made all of her outfit dreams come true!
