You hear me talking about how much I have been enjoying the “off season”, but what does it mean? As a wedding photographer, there are seasons. Seasons of engagement, booking, weddings, engagements, etc. During the winter months we don’t pick up our cameras as frequently as spring/fall. I do an occasional session here and there depending on the event or timing, but other than that I am mainly in my office during the winter months working on my daily tasks and dreaming up big ideas. Even though it can be lonely, it’s actually my favorite season! I have the time to connect with other photographers, spend quality time with Kyle and family/friends and focus on projects for my business. The projects I have been working hard on this winter season are all getting me pumped up for this year! I believe this is the right dose I need every winter season. 🙂 For todays posting, I thought it would be fun to share the random things I have been loving and enjoying during this season of relaxing!
Here are a few random things I’ve been excited about this “off season”:
Chess
Kyle taught me how to play chess! Believe it or not, I’m SUPER competitive and love learning how I can play better.
SheReadsTruth.com
I absolutely love this website! Instead of soaking up time going through social media every morning, I try to focus on the daily journals of this website. I love how we all can relate to their stories. 🙂 Check it out if you haven’t heard of it!
Bridal Magazine
This has been something I have been wanting for my brides for a LONG time and finally, it’s a reality! Just had the final revisions done and I’m sending this design out to print today! Wohoo! Cannot wait to see my brides use this resource while planning for their big day. 🙂
Learning Calligraphy
If you haven’t heard of SkillShare, my bride/friend recommended this awesome resource to me! You have to check it out if you want to continue education in various topics. They have options of learning package design, calligraphy, branding, photoshop, etc. Yesterday, I sat down and learned about calligraphy since this will be a characteristic of my updated packaging. Cannot wait!
Essential Oils
Every night, I love breathing in a mixture of oils. Whether it is Lavender and Thieves or just Peace and Calming, Young Living has me hooked! I honestly don’t know everything about this product, but I love diffusing it throughout the night. Not only does it smell amazing, it’s relaxing and it helps with your immune system depending on which oil you choose to diffuse. Time for me to reorder so I’m healthy and tip-top shape for wedding season! 🙂
