I just got done reading the “Atomic Habits” by James Clear.  I LOVE reading and finding new books every day that help me run my business and life better.  In his book, James talks about making one small change, becoming just 1% better.  As 2018 comes to a sudden halt, I can’t help but look ahead to 2019. At this time last year, I was mad.  We had learned that we were no longer going to Beijing, China, and I thought we were going to talk about traveling FOREVER.  I also didn’t think my husband and I were on the same page with our future.  But we did it, as I type this, I am sitting in my beautiful apartment in one of the most amazing places I could have only dreamed of.  It’s not as unique as China, but the hills of LA are AMAZING!

I am sitting down this week editing my last Kansas 2018 wedding.  Then gearing up for my final 2018 wedding in a few weeks. I am reflecting on my 3 years in business and what 1% change I want to make.  And honestly, I am going to step back. In 2018, Ashley Brunell Photography brought on my Uncle, Andrew, as a second lead shooter.  It was the best decision ever.  But, all the hustling, while moving, and taking care of my family has taken its toll.

This coming year, 2019, will be focused on client experience.  Andrew and I will only take 10 weddings and we have a few things up our sleeves.  Can’t wait to get 1% better 🙂
