Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, Mindy Weiss, & Confetti Canons…

Need I say more? I had the joy of shooting Julie & Ryan’s wedding last Saturday at one of our favorite venues, The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, coordinated by one of the most sought after wedding planners/designers in the nation, Mindy Weiss. She truly has amazing vision. It was a beautiful day in every way. Full blog post coming soon…

Eleven Lessons I Progressed During My Year as a 30 Year Old on Planet Earth

1) To truly succeed, you must spend your time focusing on the work you’re passionate about.

2) You make exactly what you’re worth.

3) To really not care what others think/ Assume that everyone thinks we should have obtained a certain status or thing in life by now.

4) It’s most effective and constructive to assume everyone loves you and always has the best intentions for you.

5) “The Secret” is hard work and determination.

6) Continual education is the best investment you can make in business.

7) Timing is important, though not the end-all-be-all.

8) Some things are just because, you don’t need a reason.

9) Never underestimate the power of giving 10% of your income to a wonderful cause. When you bless those around you, you bless yourself.

10) It's still true, you get what you pay for (99% of the time).

11) Patience:

a) To realize really big projects don’t get finished in one day, most of the time for good reason/ The ability to think of many projects up to a year or more out.

b) Goals, realistic goals.
