Oh, the joys!

Unexpectedly, June has turned into quite a busy month! Usually this is the time of year when wedding season is in full bloom and portrait "season" slows down. Well...that is not the case this year! I am very grateful for the many portrait shoots I have scheduled for this month...but in combination with SO many other work and non-work things going on, I'm starting to feel a bit BUSY. For the most part I love the juggling act of balancing spending time with my hubby, social life, family time, running a business, managing the apartments where I live AND so much more. It's sometimes a bit stressful...but usually fun and challenging :)

I am a big time list maker. I make lists for everything. It keeps my life organized and goals in mind. I love the feeling of crossing things off those oh so detailed lists. If you are anything like me, you know how this feels! If you could see my mac now...it's covered with little lists of 'to do's' on colorful post-it's.  I thought why not 'list' and share some of my current June busyness (and goals) with you. It may help me to vent a bit and feel a little more organized in the end :)

June business work: 
*Mine and my hubby's 3 year anniversary on June 6th! Yay! (not business related, but I had to share!)
*This week alone: 5 photo shoots...one of every kind...Engagement, baby, family, senior and individual portrait...which means not only session time, but many hours editing!
*Prepping for my first wedding show: June 26th at the Arc Pavillion here in Chico!
 Lots goes into prepping for your first show...ordering business cards, brochures, finding booth decor, designing new albums, printing new canvases, create photo slide show, etc, etc.
*Next week my best friend, Dawn comes to visit for a week!!! Happily putting all work on hold :)
*Expanding Business networking and creating packages.
*More shoots
*Wedding on June 25th
*Wedding Show on June 26th

That's just business work...and the list goes on! Hoping I stay sane through it all. I have made some progress today and plan on getting lots more done in the following weeks. Stay tuned for some more interesting BLOG posts and many new photos!!! To conclude this post I thought I'd post some photos of yours truly from my very own shoot last week :)
