Love It! Hate It!

I’ve been a bad blogger this week, I’ve been working on getting the office finished up so I can finally blog about it!!! I’m almost there, woohoo!!! I’m still on the hunt for the right chairs and the right amount of chairs, who knew chairs would be so hard. The ones I love keep getting...

    I thought you looked familiar when I saw you in my friends’ pictures from WPPI and just now realized it’s because I’ve been all over your blog! Sad I didn’t get to meet you in person, maybe next time! And I’d love as tips on how to go about creating a workflow board. This has been on my to do list for awhile, and I’m a little intimidated on how to go about making it!

    Hi Lydia! So funny that you recognized me! We should definitely try to meet up next time. For the workflow board I brainstormed all the steps to my process from when the client signs the contract to the final delivery of their wedding products. Most of my tasks are general like send thank you card after booking and edit wedding photos. I purposely left a few blank spots on the bottom to add anything I forgot or need to add to my workflow. I used a template from a friend but you can google some great templates too. Then I contacted my local print shop and they were able to do it on a whiteboard which is awesome!!! I had a particular frame I wanted it to fit so working with the local print shop allowed me to customize it perfectly! I hoped that helps with getting your workflow board setup!!
