I bet

you thought we were DONE we all the “Time Savers” posts! Nope! I still have a few more I’d love to share. I find out about new programs and tricks through my own research AND through other photographers that SHARE what is working for them. Let me be clear…. this works for ME…. it may not work for you! There are SO many different options for EVERYTHING when it comes to the photography industry! You really have to give things a try for yourself and figure out what works for you. I spent SO much time trying to make OTHER PEOPLE’S systems WORK for my business and that’s just not smart. You have

Michael and I

went to see the movie “Super 8″ as soon as it came out. It was one of those movies that he really wanted to see because he loves the director and I just followed him to the theater. The young boys in the movie were funny and awkward…. and halfway through, one of the kids started referring to everything as “Mint!”. Like, “Aw, that’s so MINT!”.  Wait what? Why have I NEVER heard that phrase used before? Do I live under a ROCK? Did no one else think that was a weird phrase?! I wondered about it for the remainder of the movie until I got home and looked it up on “Urban Dictionary”.  Sure enough, people in England have been coining this term for decades.

Time is

PRECIOUS! I used to hear this all the time in college and think “Oh, it’s not THAT precious, if I run out of it, I’ll just stay up all night.”   Well, I quickly realized that this wasn’t a healthy perspective on life. My mother warned me about what would happen if I kept living that lifestyle! She was right. I think I had circles under my eyes in every picture of myself from junior and senior year of college!  It wasn’t healthy.  Time just seemed to slip away from me in then and I knew that had to change once I graduated and got married.  I needed structure and I also needed HELP with running my business.

Brand Boosters

Many have

Emailed me and have asked about my branding. Who made your website? (I did, because I’m a Showiteer!! Woopwoop!:) Who made your logo and your blog and how did you decide on TEAL? And how did you make people REMEMBER you and keep coming back to your blog? These are questions I receive all the time and they are GREAT questions!! REALLY great questions. When I think about the photographers that I LOVE following… they all have something in common. They all share a simliar marketing strategy and it WORKS. These photographers all use what I like to call “Brand Boosters”.

The Overall Album Design Process

Several

photographers have asked about two different topics. They ask 1. How do you shoot so many portraits and 2. How do you shoot with an album in mind. Well the answers to these two questions are closely related! The way I shoot portraits ensures that I will have a ton to choose from AND that the album spreads will be cohesive.  This past week I have been working HARD on album designs. I think I’ve completed almost 8 of them and I’m on a roll! Before we get too far into this post, let me explain my album process. I like to design my albums first, with the images that I think look the best.
