Since adding a second baby to our family and returning from maternity leave at the end of May, I had a business goal of ensuring all sessions were edited within ten days or less since my editing queue was caught up finally. ( Once your editing queue is long it's literally impossible to get out of....Iykyk) .
The overall client experience is really important to me, and I feel like turn around can be a big part of that.
So I recognize that this is absolutely a little braggy of me, but I have no boss to give me a raise, no end of the year performance review, no bonus check, no paid vacations.... So I am going to give myself some credit where I feel credit is due and a pat on the back. Since coming back from leave, I have had one of my busiest summer and falls ever, and I still was able to turn around every single session within SEVEN days or less. ( While pretty much giving every single session way more images than I should 🫠🤣) And that was honestly really freaking hard .
On top of adding another baby, home schooling my son, being a full time stay at home (exclusively breast feeding) mom, and a full time business owner.... I am honestly just really proud of myself. I was truly really worried all pregnancy about how I would do this all. And my husband definitely heard me freak out a few times in overwhelm this year. lol.
(I will say... my house is now a freakin' disaster now on the daily... something has to be neglected. LOL)
We had such a beautiful October, one of the best weather wise that I have seen in 15+ years of fall photos, so that meant a very busy photography season for everyone in the business. Be kind to the photographers in your life! It really is a crazy job... and is definitely not just 'taking photos'. lol.
My post partum body hurts .... my wonderful chiropractor sees me way to often and I have a deep tissue massage scheduled this upcoming week....🤣 But in a few days here is to bringing on the christmas chaos and seeing if I can keep this up for the remainder of the year.🤞
Definitely no promises, but I am going to try my best!
Huge thanks to all of my awesome clients who support my family and keep my business so busy even in this difficult economy.
It never is not on my mind that you chose to fit my little business into your budget and it makes my heart burst. Love you all!
