I should be working out today, or swimming the laps that I promised myself I would learn (in case we aren’t friends on Facebook, I vowed I would learn to swim laps instead of my glorified doggie paddle), or maybe even doing laundry.  Instead, I have been culling through some gorgeous images of one of this years couples.  Here is just a sneak peek  This week my summer marathon begins with a bang and I am super duper excited.  Natalie and I will be shooting in Denver and Grand Junction for incredible weddings this week. Maybe I will work out next week

Happy Monday to you all!

I am super excited to announce that Natalie’s new blog site has launched.  I have said it all before – I am so incredibly blessed to have Natalie as part of the KMP team!  She is talented, awesomely fun, and creates some beautiful things!  If you are getting married – you should check her out  She has been with me for nearly 2 and a half years!  She knows how I roll – and she has truly developed her own swagger

It was 2006.  I was working my corporate job.  Daydreaming at my desk about what it would be like if I could do something I really really loved … challenged me … allowed me to be creative – everyday.  For like a real job.  Don’t get me wrong, I actually loved my corporate job in a lot of ways.  BUT – I had been doing photography and photography classes for 10 years.  I was a wee bit obsessed with everything photo.  I knew how to take pictures but I didn’t know how to run a business, or even to make a business out of it.  4 years later, I can say that I have grown, pushed myself farther than I ever thought possible, made a lot of mistakes, made some great business decisions, and am standing where I am today.  Most importantly – I don’t claim to know everything … and I push myself to learn more EVERY single day.  The truth is, I had a few key people in the beginning of my photography career that were actually willing to share {Love ya H}.  The rest were not so willing to share.  Workshops were few and far between, and I had to learn a lot of things on my own.   In short, my business was and still is a LOT of work.  I also know how hard it is to take your photography business to the next level.

In the past few weeks, I have gotten a TON of emails from awesome photographers who are looking for answers and eager to learn.  I am eager to help … but I can’t do it through just email  I created the Shoot It day with Yours Truly to help inspire you, teach you about everything from Shooting to Work flow, Business Inspiration to Photoshop.  I am planning a shoot with models too – so we can get our shoot on  Meals {breakfast and lunch} will be included.  In Conclusion – it’s 9 hours of photography talk, business, advertising/marketing, inspiration, a shoot, branding, and getting your business moving.  Again – I don’t claim to be the know it all expert, but I have been shooting professionally for 4 years and can certainly share some information that would have changed my life in 2006
