behind the scenes

Do you like to blog? ⌨️🖱️ Blogging seems to be one of those things that you know you need to do but don't really want to. Everyone tells you that you need to blog your latest sessions, weddings, events, etc. Because is good for SEO and it's a way to provide fresh content for your visitors. Still is one more thing to add to our to donkist, am I right? At least that's how I see most days. .

I don't have a perfect plan to tackle blogging. You either like to write or you don't. Personally, I've never been a writer. I love designing, that's my passion. To make things a bit easier, I do batch tasks, which includes blogging. I make it part of my to do list once or twice a month. Those designated days, I write a few blog posts. In between those days, I might get an idea for a post and use my phone to start writing the blog post within Squarespace (they have a blogging app! 📱) .

There's no perfect way to do it. My advice, add it to your calendar and make it a goal to blog twice a month. As you get the hang of it, maybe push yourself to blog once a week if possible. Remember that showing your work is important for any creative, so blogging is just another tool that can help your business grow! ❤️❤️❤️

These past few weeks I've been working on some really interesting projects! Each one is very different, which allows me to push myself creatively and explore a variety of design styles. I've been working with talented women within the wedding industry, they are all very different but with strong goals for their businesses. I feel beyond honored to be part of their journey and excited to share their launches in the coming weeks!

Do you take days off to recharge? This weekend I wanted to get some work done but my daughter wasn't having it. I decided to just take a break and enjoy the day with her. As business owners we do work more than usual because it doesn't feel like "work" since we love what we do. Still, we do need to take time to rest and she reminded me to step back and slow down. ❤️❤️❤️

It feels like this week (and month) has gone by way too fast, right?? These past few days I've been eating chocolates (way too many) finishing up a full website preview, and final revisions before an upcoming launch! I haven't had the opportunity to share a lot of sneak peeks this week, but I'm hoping to share some new designs in the coming days! 🥂🥂🥂 I hope everyone enjoys the weekend ❤️❤️❤️

Which one would you choose, flowers or chocolates? My parents have been married for 44 years (or 45, I lost count 🤭) but he always sends her flowers for their wedding anniversary. Maybe that's the reason I prefer flowers for Valentine's Day. A beautiful arrangement tends to have a lot more sentimental value. That's not to say that I wouldn't love to receive a big box of dark chocolate truffles 🍫🍫🍫
