Ring In The New Year With These Wedding Ring Inspirations | For MW Brides

First off thank you for putting up with my bad pun and still reading this post! It is a NEW YEAR!!!

I cannot believe that 2016 is done and 2017 is here! I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite rings give you some inspiration!!!

Looking back on 2016 Goals | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

 
In 2016 I made goals for my business. They were not big picture goals but new things I wanted to try.  Looking back I think I took big steps with hopes to make the MW Experience for my couples even better.

As a reminder these where the goals: I want to learn Marketing | I want to create a bridal book for my brides | I want to network with other creatives | I want to shoot a styled shoot | I want to grow in my social media | I want to plan out my blog posts

The goals I accomplished this year were: networking with other creatives through outlets like Rising Tide's Tuesdays Together in Minneapolis and coffee dates at Caribou Coffee. I shot my first styled shoot and had it published by Ruffled!!! I was so excited that others loved this shoot as much as I did. I grew and refined my social media to only facebook & instagram on recommendation by a social media expert. I do not regret my decision at all!  What I feel was my favorite think, I am SO excited to say I FINALLY finished my bridal book!!!!!!!  It took a couple of months and some hard work, but I loved how it turned out. My bridal book is a pdf book for my MW brides that will help them know what to expect and how to plan for their wedding day from my experiences as a wedding photographer. 

The goals I struggled with were learning marketing to the extent I wanted to. I took a couple of classes regarding this and they did help but I wanted to go deeper.
I really failed beautifully at planning out blog posts this year. It was a matter of laziness that I could have done better. I will continue to improve next year!

I plan on sharing my 2017 goals in a couple of weeks ( working on that planning ;) ). I hope these help inspire you to take steps for your own goals. 
 

Merry Christmas | Personal

Christmas is literally one of my favorite times of year. The snow, the smells, the massive cheer from random strangers on the street, the music that keeps a heart happy, the hot cup of coffee that keeps my soul warm, it is no mystery why it is coined as the most wonderful time of the year.

Minnesota winters is beautiful when the trees are caked in snow that welcomes you in the mornings. It enchants me. But my favorite part has and always will be the extra time I get to be stress free with my family in the middle room with the gas fireplace crackling in the only warm room in the house. It makes it impossible for anyone to escape to a different room without the danger of freezing to death. 

I hope this Christmas you stay warm and cuddled close to you loved ones.
Merry Christmas.

Warmly,

Molly
