Valentine’s…Teddy Bears…and Restart

I've never been much of a Valentine's girl. I mean, I definitely want to know I'm loved, but I don't need a dozen roses or a teddy bear to reaffirm this notion. I'm more of a get-me-flowers-on-any-ole-average-day kind of girl. I like thoughtful surprises, not over-priced mass produced plastic wrapped bouquets. But that's just me.

Shhh, do you hear that? That's the sound of women across the internet calling for my Girl Card to be revoked!

JD and I are boarding a plane this morning and heading home from Episode Two of RESTART. And, whew, what a doozey it's been! So many amazing things are happening for photographers around the world and I'm blown away by what I see! Go ON with your bad selves! Love it! If you're doing the RESTART process with us, here's a quick review of the homework (due in one month)…
   *Fill Out Your Checklist:
       Who is your ideal client?
       Showcase what you want to shoot
       Showcase who you are
       Make your online presence a conversation piece
*Rebrand Your Online Storefront
*Identify Your Pricing Model
*List Your Working Hours
*List Your Fixed Costs
*Adjust Prices for Supply+Demand

Yes…there is a lot of work to be done in the next 30 days, but I know you can do it. I believe in you. If you're planning to submit a before/after of your website, don't forget to get screen captures of both so we can see the progress!

And because it's Valentine's Day, I want to take a moment to publicly say how much I love/appreciate/need/want/can't-survive-without my husband, JD. These last few weeks have been wildly crazy and exhausting, but I'm a better person with him at my side. I might give him a teddy bear to prove it.

Mwah!
