Weekend Recap

wedding_header

This weekend was the perfect ending to the spring wedding season! It has been the busiest season I have ever had as far as my business goes but the best part is how manageable it has been! How? The last couple years I have seen what not to do and have learned how to take control of my schedule to make things happen timely. Dedicating days to weekly tasks has drastically helped my workflow. Being realistic with my time can be challenging but dividing tasks between days helps if it helps. It takes some time to figure out what works but I finally have found my groove. 😉 Haha! Next month, I declined weddings to make sure I spend time with family/friends and some quality beach time since my spring has been so hectic. It was hard to turn down weddings for personal time but it wasn’t soon after that I realized that my entire month is full of adventures I want to do this summer. Looking forward to some quality time with family and friends. 🙂 I hope everyone is starting to plan some sort of fun adventure for next month or sometime this summertime!

Cannot wait to share more from these sessions/weddings this week on the blog! 🙂
