READY FOR STAGE 2?

Welcome to stage 1! You are probably just starting your wedding photography business and I'm excited you chose to join me in your journey. I want you to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time. Below is your roadmap and a 6 month plan if you decide to move that quickly. I know that you probably have a million other things as this might just be a side hustle for you right now, so if you take longer than 6 months to tackle all of these tasks, it's totally okay! Go at your own pace and set yourself up for success. If you don't want to work off the monthly tasks, you can always go off the checklist at the bottom of the page. As I create content around these tasks, there will be links added to access that content to help you achieve the highest level of success. Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for feedback in the Facebook group. All that's left for you to do is get started!
