I’M SO EXCITED! The Summer Marketing Planner is

I’M SO EXCITED! The Summer Marketing Planner is here!
-
I’m still in the process of finding the right supplier for the physical marketing planner, so those will be available in the Fall along with a lot of other wonderful resources I’m creating.
-
But this is step one. If you want to feel more organized in planning your summer marketing, click the link in my bio and grab the PDF! You can print and bind it at your local printer!

I’m so excited to share this with all of you❤️

If you own your own business, what’s on the othe

If you own your own business, what’s on the other side of you giving up? (Notice I said giving up, NOT failing! Building a business is chalk full of fails.)
-
When I was in the growth phase, I thought about this a lot. There were days when my fairly empty calendar looked back at me and I thought “what if I just give up”. While it would’ve given me instant reprieve from feelings of failure and guilt that I spent time away from family building this thing, I still wanted and needed to provide income for my family.
-
So! Giving up on this meant getting another job. If I had to get a traditional job, I knew it would force me to give up one of the biggest benefits of being my own boss: being in charge of my schedule and time.
-
Because I’m an enneagram 8, I really REALLY don’t like people dictating my time or telling me what to do 😀🥴🙈
-
So sometimes when I feel frustrated, I just let myself float over to the alternate reality where I am working a desk job with a boss and I truly realize what a great privilege it is to continue to build my business.
-
This week is I’m going to be sending out an email chatting about boundaries. Setting firm boundaries with clients, family and friends are absolutely critical to enjoy this work. When I feel burned out or frustrated, it’s almost always because the boundaries I set aren’t being respected. Setting boundaries can be scary but oh so worth it!
-
To get on the email list, go to my link in bio and grab the 5 day social media planner and that will add you to the list!

I really dislike Mother’s Day. I don’t know why- I think it’s that it’s hard for mothers to actually know what we really want from a day meant to celebrate us. If we ask for time alone, that feels weird. If we ask for time with kiddos, we can be reminded about what’s hard about mothering! Getting out of the house is usually my request.
-
The day I became a mother was a bit scary. At 37 weeks, my water broke at home at 4:30 in the morning. We rushed to the hospital because the contractions were coming fast and painful.
-
We arrived at the hospital and I told the nurses I was in a lot of pain. They looked at 24 year old me, amused. “Oh honey, this is your first baby. You’ll be here all day.” I thought there was no possible way I could feel like this all day and asked to be checked, they reluctantly complied and Elle was born 10 minutes later. I felt vindicated.
-
That was 11.5 years ago and being a mother is one of my favorite things- mostly because I lucked out with these amazing little ladies. They make me laugh, they help without being asked, they still want and need snuggles. But raising them is heavy and hard and confusing, along with all the nice and pretty things. So, if you don’t like Mother’s Day like me, happy Mother’s Day anyway! 😂❤️

If you know me, you know I have three main obsessions in life:
•
1. My family (including fluffy baby Loa the Cockapoo)
•
2. Sunsets
•
3. Tea
-
Tonight I got all three at once. Pretty pleased about it. Was already pretty pleased when these birds photobombed my kid.

Thought I’d pop in with a little availability up

Thought I’d pop in with a little availability update! I have 1-2 left days at the end of May, June- September are booked minus various cancellations I’ll have but October is pretty open! If you wanna snag a fall mountain date, shoot me a DM! Those dates are not on the online calendar yet but you can grab one before I update online availability.

You guys really made my laugh about my playroom that looked like a lego bomb went off today. You can maybe still catch it in stories if you missed it.

In other news, my first month of Marketing for Family Photographers Group Coaching finished up and it was such a blast!
-
I sense a lot of frustration around marketing in our industry. Things are shifting and adjusting and it can make us feel unseen and unheard. Helping these ladies come up with an actual strategy was so good for my soul because there is simply nothing I’d like more than a world chalk full of women who love their creative work.
-
I harp a lot on my frustrations with how society makes it so hard to be a working mom and a present mom. Now more than ever, we’ve had to walk that balance on a tightrope over hungry sharks.
-
I dream of a world where women can pursue work that compliments their mothering schedule and vice versa. It shouldn’t have to be an either or- it should be a both and. Freeing up some of the energy and frustration that goes into marketing our sessions was my main goal for all the women in the group. What are we selling? To who? How? Why? Four simple concepts when written down and free up so much brain space for all the beautiful things we want to do on this planet beyond drowning in self-doubt on the ole insta.
-
I know this is work I want to pour more of myself into- even though I’m not sure what that looks like right now. So I’ll follow my own advice: I’ll sit here for a bit and hold hands with fear + the unknown possibilities. ❤️
