( A SECOND TIME AROUND & THE NEW WEBSITE...)

08.30.11

Sometimes you need a second chance. A chance to learn from your mistakes and put your best foot forward. When things are no longer a shot in the dark, you have a ton more direction and nothing but a positive attitude. That's where I am right now. And, I couldn't be more excited! After having the new lil' I had somewhat of a crisis regarding my photography business and honestly had no clue where to go from there. After changing diapers, making meals, coordinating craft time and trips to the park, where in the world was I supposed to fit in time to shoot and edit? Nowhere!!! I hadn't picked up my camera to shoot anyone other than my two little men in ForeveR and it was such a sad thing for me. Where does my business go from here? With the hubs job changing and his hours becoming more & more demanding, the kids were my first priority and trying to figure out where I could possibly fit in time for photography was giving me serious headaches. 

Today I can honeslty say I'm breathing much easier and everything has been working itself out. I finally made the decision to focus on portraits only, limit my shoots to two very specific days a week, established office hours, created sharp workflows, email templates and delegated other business "fun" stuff to the hubs. I am finally ready for business!!! The website is DONE... after a few tweaks... compliments of my inspiration board and super talented family members to help with logo etc. Business cards are ordered! And, all client forms are uploaded to my DropBox for easy access making doing business for this busy WAHM easy from anywhere. 

In the past I would have hoarded the new site and keep myself from moving forward until I felt like I had "everything" ready, my new portfolio "completed" and all other ducks in a row. But, if I have learned anything from the first time around it's that that day will NEVER come. So, on to my new webby home....

what do you think??? closer to my inspiration board than the first draft of the website huh? The plan is to share even more on the mistakes that I made in business the first time around and the changes/lessons that I've made/learned for the second time around. So stay tuned !

XoXo,
