Greetings, Friends! Apologies for the long radio silence. The last Monthly Highlights post I did was in February 2017, so this is a very long overdue post. When you see the stats below (at the end of the blog), maybe that will explain part of my absence. It's been a crazy 8 months full of
Hard to believe we're already one month into 2017, isn't it? I don't know about you, but for me, the month of January flew by incredibly fast. January 2017 Photography Business Stats Monthly Highlights Series 13 Photo shoots completed *3 less than December 55.3 Business miles driven *78.8 less than
It's hard to believe that 2016 is just about over. That means I've been a self-employed photographer for 4 years as of September. Time has certainly flown by, and I'm more energized for what lies ahead. For now, it's time for the annual performance review of what happened this year, and what's in store for

Summer is officially in full swing here in the Pacific Northwest signaling not only a mountain of sunshine and good weather but by far the busiest time of year for a food and event photographer. June seems to be prime time for corporate events to take place and restaurants eager to update their menu images, so
Who has two thumbs and has been absolutely awful at blogging lately? This gal. Since taking off the whole month of April for a leisurely jaunt through Asia, updating this blog has been pretty hit or miss, due mainly to overly ambitious goals. By now I was hoping to have my full recap blogs for
As I write this post from The Coffee Academics cafe on WanChai Road in Hong Kong, all of last month's happenings seem so far away. But alas, March was the beginning of freelance photography busy season. While the month wasn't balls to the wall busy like it probably will be a few months from now, there
Hard to believe we're nearly halfway though March already! After compiling my monthly statistics and metrics for February, it was pretty obvious in terms of the numbers that there weren't huge differences between January and February, other than a pretty big uptick in photo shoots. The beginning of the year is typically the slowest period of
