last chance.

Make sure to contact the studio right away and get your wedding, lifestyle family, high school senior session, baby, get to know you shoot,or any other session scheduled as soon as possible.  I have a few dates open before I leave.  You'll want to make sure that you get on the calendar.  I'll be moving the second week of July so we'll only take sessions until the end of June and it's filling up very quickly!

Contact the studio and Jessica will get your session scheduled.  ( info@davinafear.com )

real. LIFE.

this is it.

For those who have been being consistent try pshing it a little harder this week.  Not so that you feel like quitting but if you have been putting off counting your calories on mydailyplate.com then try doing it.  If you've been walking and telling yourself as soon as you've gotten in a little better shape you'll start running then maybe try a light jog this week for part of your walking.  If you've been swimming trying doing an extra lap this week.  You can do it.  Just take it up a little notch and push yourself beyond where you've been. 

**Make sure to post in the comments how you're doing**

Next week I'll announce who wins the contest this month!  Yay!

mentoring.

Spend the whole day with me at my studio. This is an opportunity to see how my studio runs on a daily basis. We will talk in depth about what your business and inspiration needs are and address each of them.

Before you attend the studio you will be sent a questionnaire to determine how to best use our time together. Be prepared to cover a lot in a short time…organization, life/business balance, portfolio, marketing, branding, inspiration, how I shoot, etc., etc….this day is all about you and taking your work and business to the next stage. We’ll create a custom day that will meet your specific needs.

Some of the things that may be included in your customized Day with Davina:

the details of how I’ve organized my studio.

my workflow.

tracking clients.

meeting my staff.

how to hire staff.

working with a staff.

organizing files.

blogging tips.

creativity in shooting.

balancing life and business.

establishing your style and lovemark.

organizing your business so that you can have a life.

critique of your business organization and branding.

getting to know your clients and essence of who they are and helping them to take risks.

inspiration: How and where?

critique of your online work (website and blog).

Make sure to call the studio to set up your Day with Davina at info@davinafear.com .  For those in Utah we'll be booking a limited amount of sessions before I move to South Carolina.

the daily plate.

Make sure to submit ideas for how we can all help each other to reach our goals.  Next week will be week four.  So, the following week will be the final week for posting (that means 2 Mondays from today...May 26th...will be the final day of this contest...there will be more so don't give up!) before the winner for this month is announced.  I hope that just made sense. (I started counting weeks when I announced the contest prize for the month...)

This week I'm posting about a website that Sarah and Ingrid both posted about and said helps with staying active and being aware of what you eat.  So it must be a great site.  I'm going to try and start using it.  She recommends using www.thedailyplate.com to track the food you eat, the exercise you do, and the goal you want to achieve.  Try it out and let me know what you think.  Ingrid also suggests a pedometer.  You can click here to purchase the one that I've posted. 

So...this week I've been terrible at portion control and sweets.  I was given breakfast in bed by my husband and kids yesterday morning (strawberries and cream french toast, bacon...the works...yes, it was yummy...but I think I gained 10 pounds...at least it feels like it!).  So, I'm back on the wagon starting now and I'm going to get back to my only sweet of the day being my one small piece of dove chocolate and my usual exercise.

If you haven't posted in the comments in a while, please don't give up!  We can do this.  Just start posting again!  We'll have ongoing contests to keep us consistent for the whole year.  You can do it!  Start today and give me your plan and your update every week.  Also, if you have suggestions to help the rest of us get off our booties post them in the comments.  Remember to give me your email address (and website if you have one so I know how to contact you if I have questions about your idea/suggestion...only I can see you email address if you post it in the email address field...)

move it. LIFE.

sweet. day.

Tiffany and Sam have known each other since high school.  They met each other and soon were inseparable.  After high school was over Sam left for a mission for two years.  As soon as he got home they knew that they wanted to be married. 

The day came and there was pink everywhere.  Sam was so happy to see Tiffany walk down the aisle...she looked so beautiful.  When the ceremony was over they had a wonderful luncheon, tossed the bouquet, smashed cake in each others' faces, and had their first dance.

Tiffany and Sam love to jump on their trampoline.  They also eat on it, talk on it, sleep on it...it's a place that they love.  So we found one near the reception center and jumped. 

fun. LIFE.
