Hello March A Month at a Glance

Hi friends! After skipping two months of blogging about monthly goals and dreams I knew that I was really missing it.  For whatever reason, these posts act as such a perfect way to get me prepared and thinking about the month ahead.  I begin my list of things to do at the beginning of each month, actually glance at the calendar, and start planning all the fun things ahead.  I think over the past two months I’ve missed the accountability that comes with these lists.  It’s a perfect way for me to put out some of my goals and dreams and try to accomplish as much as I can… even if that means finishing them up right before I post the new list!

It works, and if I’m being totally honest, for me, this off-season has led to a bit of lack of focus.  Even though I have had more time to be getting things done (minus buying a house, getting a puppy, and going to New Zealand), I seem to be accomplishing less and less, mostly as a result of lack of focus.  Am I the only one?  Well with wedding season just around the corner, I want to fix that lag- and here’s one of the ways that I’m doing it.

So enough rambling, without further ado I’m giving you a glance at the month of March and all that I have cooking up!

The month of March at a glance

  • I’ve got meetings galore this month and I love that the off-season gives me a bit more time to spend with dear friends and creatives more intentionally.
  • I get the chance to head back down to Charleston later this month for our yearly girls trip!  If anyone is interested in doing a mini-session or collab while I’m there, please feel free to reach out!
  • This month I really want to focus and hone in on creating habits that promote productivity- and I can’t wait to share them along the way!

Business Goals + Dreams

  • Work on creating a brand new, personalized bridal guide to help my brides plan their wedding day more efficiently and with less stress.  I’m just going to count this as a win if I get started, because it’s a pretty big task!
  • Submit 2-3 sessions from my editorial work and real wedding work!
  • Blog at least 3-4 times a week and be consistent in my tagging.
  • Research Pinterest strategy and be better about implementing it.
  • Hang bulletin inspiration board up in my office and continuing designing it to encourage productivity and creativity.

Personal Goals + Dreams

  • Teach Mack the basic commands!
  • Continue going to the gym at least twice a week!
  • Be intentional about reaching out to dear friends!
  • Find and try two new recipes this month, and share them (#iknowyoucarewhatwereeating)

What about you? What does your month look like? Anything fun and exciting? I’d love to hear about it!

    These are all so great, Lauren! I have my goals post scheduled for Friday and I, too, am trying to hold myself more accountable to be productive after an off season of just.. “blah.” Your wedding season is going to rock and I can’t wait to see all the content. <3

    How is it March already? These are fantastic goals- there is SO much that I’ve been meaning to do this winter and it just isn’t getting done! Good for you on these goals- I can’t wait to see how this spring is for you!

  4. Thanks for sharing your goals! It’s so nice to review things like this to remind me of what my own goals are ;)

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

Stone Tower Winery Wedding

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
