Zane + Lauren

  • A Rustic Williamsburg Winery Wedding

The term “DIY Wedding” has so many meanings in today’s wedding industry. I planned my own DIY wedding and it was elaborate and slightly over the top because I just couldn’t stop the ideas!! There are other types of DIY weddings that can be a bit stressful because the bride put all of the pressure and responsibility on herself and didn’t let anyone help. Thankfully, Lauren didn’t fall into either of these categories!! The BEST type of DIY wedding is a wedding where the bride has the perfect amount of professional help and the most amazing personal touches throughout the ENTIRE day! From the handmade “Bubbly Bar” in the girl’s getting ready room to the INCREDIBLE two story framed backdrop for the ceremony, it was a jaw dropping day!

How Creatives Can Utilize Trello

  • Ask Anything

Our life is moving more and more into the digital direction. My once pretty little notebook full of “Big Lists” and sticky notes just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I found myself having too many plates spinning and not enough time to write out every little thing that needed to get done. And so that is where TRELLO comes in! We were introduced to Trello several months ago and we have been falling in love with it ever since! This free online resource isn’t just for creatives or business owners… it’s for ANYONE!

Introducing Our Business Manager

  • Ask Anything

It’s come to my attention over the last several months through coaching and workshops there are a lot of photographers who are making more work for themselves than they need to. When you start looking at successful companies that are growing, there is something that they all use…. a client management system. Years ago, I realized that my spread sheets and google calendar reminders that I set to REMIND my clients of payments was work that I shouldn’t be doing. It wasn’t profitable in the slightest!!
