Day 3: Making an intentional year list is something that I've always wanted to do but never really sat down to do it so I'm glad that it is a part of this week's Insta Challenge! 👍🏻👍🏻 We all know the little ins and out of ourselves and what's holding us back and it's not to say that I'm going to be perfect after I create this list but it a super fun activity and I encourage others to do it if you haven't done so. You can swipe right to see some of the things on my list to 1) keep me accountable and 2) just see what's going on in my mind! ➡️➡️➡️ I won't go into too much details on what I'm trying to say but a couple things that I wanted to highlight are: I'm happy to say that I haven't really worked with any difficult customers in the past couple years but I will say that I am still encountering some inquiries from some and so that was first on my list of things I'm just going to say no to - there's no need for me to try and foster a relationship with someone who doesn't already appreciate my craft and the time and energy I'm putting into it. Also - this year - I'd love to get back down to the roots of why I started doing what I do in the first place (working for myself whilst being able to be creative) so doing things like community building/ styled shoots/ etc. 🤗 Took a second to figure these out for myself but these are my encouraging words for the year in no particular order: simplify, gratitude, positivity, community, creativity, love, passion, inspire, growth, dream, cultivate, and honesty. #bestgoals2019 #risingtidesociety #tuesdaystogethertrivalley #bayareaweddingphotographer #simplejoie #loveissimple #livewithjoy #norcalweddingphotographer #sfengagementphotographer #norcalweddings #tildenparkengagement #inspirationpointtrail #authenticlove #radlovestories #radcouples #muchlove_ig #loveisabigdeal #thebridestory #justengaged #howtheyasked #theknot @honeybook @risingtidesociety @cultivatewhatmatters (at Shinzen Japanese Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bstvqv8Bwzc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aitwj3pwfktz

Day 2 | My Mission Statement: Simple Joie offers a unique wedding photography experience for amazing couples by helping them create and capture their authentic love story; dedicated to the highest quality of photography delivered with pride, sincerity and originality. 🥵 That’s a mouth full... but it’s true! I’m not your average wedding photographer! I come from a long line of hard working parents and siblings and I value every hand that has pushed or lifted me to where I am today and I know I bring that same mentality to my craft. Not every single couple that knocks on my door may have the same core values as I do but I know they all appreciate my willingness to share my insight on engagment photo ideas, wedding planning, posing together, day of timeline ideas, and most importantly: doing what I can to help them accomplish their dream wedding. 😬 Yes they are cover my time to come out to share my photography skills and post processing time along with whatever print/albums may come with a package... I don’t get paid to do this BUT when I end up being the only vendor that will be there with my couple through out their entire day - I can’t help but point out how to better their experience when/if needed OR lend a hand to fix a problem they’re having that occurred that day (let’s just say that I’m not going to stand around if no one knows how to sew a button or a broken strap back into place - it happens). 👍🏻 We all have messy lives and obstacles we have to overcome every other day so after months of planning - your wedding day should be: if not perfect... pretty darn close!! I do what I do because I love LOVE and walk into each BIG day hoping I can capture it the exact way you’d wish for so you can look back and remember only happy tears! #bestgoals2019 #risingtidesociety #tuesdaystogethertrivalley #bayareaweddingphotographer #simplejoie #loveissimple #livewithjoy #norcalweddingphotographer #sfengagementphotographer #norcalweddings #tildenparkengagement #inspirationpointtrail #authenticlove #radlovestories #radcouples #muchlove_ig #loveisabigdeal #thebridestory #justengaged #howtheyasked #theknot (at Inspiration Point, Tilden Park, Berkeley) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsqa5gdBaTn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=czsioxsyz8f4
