Website is a-comin'

I'm still working on it - so annoying that I can push out a website for a customer in literally days, but my own drags on and on....for one reason or another.  I ran into issues with slideshows I purchased and can't utilize on the design I set up, then I changed my mind, then I had to add to the menu....ugh.  It looks great and will be a total relief once it's up, but it's just dragging on too long!  I'm a person who likes to have things crossed off my list - this is a biggie that hasn't gotten crossed off yet.  The site has taken a back seat to my job, the kids, everything - so now I'm working late at night so nothing else gets in the way.  So hopefully soon!

The wedding show went great - I met some really nice people, made some good contacts, and I even got a few weddings booked from it.  I was a little worried about it making sense for me since Mankato has a lot of photographers anyway, but once again I was proven wrong and I'm glad.  I do love the show - I love all trade shows - it's nice to meet people that I really click with and know I could do a great job on their wedding or any other type of photos.  I've been meeting with brides quite a bit these past few weeks so I'm enjoying that too - I always think of being a wedding planner when I sit down with brides because I enjoy talking about all their plans, not just the photos!  But I think I'll leave that up to the pros - I'm lucky to be organized enough to do the photography part.  :)

Enough putting off the website stuff..back to it...

Websites and wedding shows and more, oh my!

I haven't gotten any better about blogging - I'm hoping to make an improvement there once the new website is up and running.  Customer previews are something I'd like to include here; our work is shown on Facebook most of the time but even then I still don't do as much updating as I could.  So - new resolution!  Keep things fresh.


The annual Mankato Bridal Show is this weekend, and once again I'm participating.  I'm looking forward to it as I always do; it's a fun time, I love watching the hopeful couples come in and make their plans and talking to new people about weddings - what more could you ask for?!!   Plus it gives me a chance to update my own marketing materials and get my name out there, something I haven't spent much time doing in the past year.  Another resolution.  :)


So within the week I'll have a new website up and running, new printed business cards and rack cards to show off the new look as well, and a new advertising video I have yet to complete.  :)  Follow along, readers - lots of fun in store!
