July Goals

July Photography Goals Well, hello! I'm not quite sure how one whole month passed without a blog post. Last month was a bit of a blur, and it ended with a wonderfully relaxing vacation to South Carolina. And now here we are. In July.

I only have one wedding this month, plus a lot of fun travel. I think it's going to be a good time to get caught up on that "Summer Fun List" hanging on our refrigerator. Nathan and I have lots of concerts + games + farmer's markets to attend. And there's definitely more ice cream that needs to be eaten. What's on your list of MUST DO'S this summer?

July Goals

Read The Girl on the Train (SO good so far!) and A House in the Sky Start Savor, a daily devotional by Shauna Niequist Book our anniversary trip Go to another Indians game Go on two bike rides with Nathan Visit the Shaker Heights Farmer's Market Be fully present while visiting two new places (NOLA and a tiny, lakefront town in Canada!) Get completely caught up on editing Get caught up on vendor galleries Submit a wedding Keep my Inbox below 10 each morning

July Goals

Cleveland Ohio Outdoor Chic WeddingI learned (or relearned) quite a few things in June:

  • When you take on six weddings all in one month, you should plan to have a frivolous book on your nightstand for some light reading at the end of the night. Taking on Girl Meets God last month was not my best decision. I'll be saving that one for the end of the year.
  • To avoid a wedding "hangover," you must chug water the second you get home. A Lime-A-Rita is not a substitute.
  • And on that same note, popcorn is not a substitute for a proper lunch. Although it IS delicious.
  • When you try to cram two or three months of work into one, most of your goals will take a back seat to editing. Duly noted.

Needless to say, June wasn't my best month for completing goals. I got a little ahead of myself, and now that I'm trying to catch up on all that June plopped on my desk, I'll be posting some boring reasonable goals for July. :) I hope your summers are off to a great start! Can I get a high five for all this awesome weather we've been having?! (Read: It makes for a happy wedding photographer!)
