I know you are sitting there, just like I am wondering how September arrived so quickly.  I almost can’t believe it (or maybe I just don’t want to).  August was such a great month, but I’m so excited for September.  I have so many things I want to get accomplished in the next 30 days.

But before I get to that let me tell you the most exciting thing that happened in August for A.J. Dunlap Photography (other than the fantastic contest that just ended…if you missed it you can check it out below or tune into the next one).  Wondering why there’s a picture of a wedding dress for Sept?  It’s because I am now the official wedding photographer for David’s Bridal Durham at Southpoint!  This new partnership is just getting started but after just a few days I am already loving it!  The staff there has welcomed me in with open arms, and it’s so fun meeting with brides as they are picking out their wedding gowns.  It’s making me really want to put mine back on : )

On a separate note, if you haven’t noticed I’ve made a few changes to the layout of this blog.  You can now directly view & like my Facebook fan page and sign up to receive new blog posts by email on the top left of the screen.  I’ve also added a search feature on the right side of the menu bar so you can find your favorite old posts easier.

Let’s see what I did and didn’t get accomplished for August:

Announce Contest Aug 15th (yes I’m having a contest!!!)…done
Start & finish The Slight Edge…said to say this has only been started
Continue swimming & working out 2+ days/week…nope no excuse just didn’t do it
Stay on top of my personal photos better (editing within same week!)…did great with this one!
Decide on & if needed design promotion items for the wedding side of photography…done
Do something special with my cousin Kimmie while I’m visiting NH…done
Walk dogs around the block at lease once a week (we have a big backyard for them so don’t worry they aren’t deprived)…done and it’s been several times a week!
Make a decision on a vendor partnership program I’ve been looking at…done

And what’s on my list for September Goals:
Finish The Slight Edge
Go to the library and check out a book on Wedding Photography
Read the library book : )
Continue walking the dogs at least once a week
Keep up with my new pocket calendar
Have lunch with my new friend Megan
Get a massage
Announce Christmas Card Mini Shoots (prob next week)
Introduce one new specialty photography item on the blog each week
Complete info packet for photo shoots
Update photos on website after finishing every shoot

I know there’s more but that’s all I can think of at the moment.  Happy September everyone!  Ready, Set…Go!
