10 Things I’m Proud of | Whitney Beth Photography | Utah Family + Senior Photographer
 

I’ve been feeling like I’m on the verge of a slump lately. The worries of what’s been going on in the world, along with what’s been on my mind lately have started to weigh on me. This year has been hard for everyone. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions. I go from feeling like super mom to mourning the hit corona has had on my business, to putting on my big girl pants and getting to work, only to slide back down the emotional hillside. One of the things I’ve learned to help combat the slump is to start listing things that are positives and things that I am in control of. Thanks to my boys’ latest obsession of Frozen II, we’ve been watching it a lot.) I love the part where Olaf says, “We’re calling this controlling what you can when things things feel out of control.” So that’s what I’m doing!

1. I’m a good mom. Even though we haven’t been able to have the summer we originally planned, I’ve been so blessed to be able to stay home and make memories with my kids.
2. I’m good at my job. I like to make photoshoots quick and fun for everyone! We play games, say silly things and hunt for ladybugs. All of which result in beautiful family pictures.
3. I’m good at keeping houseplants alive. 
4. All my clients have their pictures on display because I print them as a service. 
5. I’ve been using my downtime to improve aspects of my life and home.
6. We’ve been going on a lot more family hikes and are getting to explore more of Utah.
7. Despite everything, Danny and I have been able to find ways and time to sneak out for a quick date night every now and then. 
8. My business Pinterest page is popping! I’m on track to make it to my goal of 1 million monthly views.
9. I’ve gotten better about asking for Google reviews and I’ve been working hard to improve my SEO (which is paying off!)
10. Despite the pandemic, I’ve still been able to book shoots from the best clients.
