How to Prepare for Engagement Season

As engagement season approaches, I had a chat with a wedding vendor friend who, after tuning into my Boundaries episode (episode 7), is re-evaluating her approach to ideal clients and wedding bookings. It got me thinking—this season, when everyone is getting engaged around Christmas and New Year's, is the perfect time to reassess our boundaries and set goals for the upcoming year. In this episode, I share insights on what weddings I want to shoot, pricing considerations, and the importance of self-care and reflection.As photographers and wedding creatives, we need to be ready for enquiries during engagement season. I've already gone through my calendar for the 2024/2025 season, marking weekends with my family, acknowledging public holidays, and leaving space for last-minute opportunities. I delve into the significance of self-care, recounting my better season with more time for family and personal well-being. It's about being proactive, setting clear boundaries, and saying 'no' when necessary. I wrap up with a challenge to fellow photographers: set outrageously big goals—those that make you a bit squeamish yet giddy with excitement. Join me on this journey of preparation, self-discovery, and reaching for the stars as we gear up for engagement season.Further Show Notes Visit: https://leileiclaveyeducation.com/podcast Lei Lei Clavey Education Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leileiclaveyeducation/ Lei Lei Photography Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leileiclavey/ Lei Lei Photography Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leileiclaveyphotography Lei Lei LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lei-lei-clavey/ Wedding Photography website: https://www.leileiclavey.com/ Subscribe to my education newsletter here: https://shorturl.at/lxzR8 Shop Wedding Price Guide Template and Wedding Client Guide Template: https://leileiclaveyeducation.com/guidesandtemplatesShop Album Cover Templates: https://leileiclaveyeducation.com/album-templates Shop My Favourite Business & Mindset Books: https://shorturl.at/egGKMShop My Gear: https://shorturl.at/jlyOZ ...
