Here is your chance to receive a FREE copy of The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer!!!

Photographers love the creative side of what they do.  They don’t however usually like the “business side” of their business.  Photographers often comment that they wish there was a way to make it easier for them to take care of their accounting.  Keeping track of how much your company makes (income from customers) is not the only thing you must keep track of. You must keep detailed records of your expenses too; this is especially important come tax time.  If you have kept detailed records all year, tax-time is SO much less stressful! However, it can be difficult to know what to keep track of, and how to categorize it.

The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer has come up with the solution!  The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet that was designed specifically for photographers.  There is no prior bookkeeping or Excel knowledge needed.  You get not only the Excel spreadsheet, but also a detailed Word write-up which not only tells you how to use the spreadsheet, but what items to track and how to track them.

The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is not only an accounting tool.  It also allows you to keep a customer database (good for marketing) and a job tracking tab.  One product to keep track of customers, jobs, invoicing, income, expenses, tax deductions, and more!

Hot off the press, these books arrived at my doorstep today, thanks to my genius brother in Colorado. I wrote and “illustrated” an editing manual for the attendees of my upcoming workshop in California that is taking place in just a couple of weeks. We are tying up all the loose ends and getting all the goodies and giveaways shipped out to California. I’m so excited to get this show on the road… literally I suppose!  People have asked if these books will be available for purchase outside of the workshop and possibly, that’s in the works. I’m working it out and will blog the details on that soon. More than likely, they will be available in conjunction with the online editing mentoring that I offer. To all the gals coming out to CA in a few weeks, I’m excited to meet you all in person and have a fun-filled few days together!!

Here’s where I’ve been this past weekend. Mmmm hmmm! Sonoma County wine country, baby! Coming from a barren and brown early spring in Wyoming, Northern California was a welcome, warm and gorgeous change of scenery. I flew out last week to meet up with Melody White (our local workshop host) and make the final arrangements for the upcoming Wine Country Workshop taking place this June 12th and 13th. We had a very busy couple of days of putting the finishing touches on the two day event and making some necessary changes to the previous plans. We visited all of the locations that we will be meeting and working at and let me just say, it’s going to be pretty amazing. The images here are of White Oak Winery where we will be spending the second part of day one; shooting, portfolio building, wine tasting and dining. Beautiful! I’m not sharing images of our downtown shooting locations, because I cannot spoil all of the surprises! Suffice it to say that this workshop will be much like a vacation in an extraordinary part of the country. We are packing a ton into two full days with lots of incredible food, sites and sponsor giveaways. And FYI, there is still one spot open, due to an unforeseen cancellation. Ladies, we are looking forward to June and having a tremendous time with all of you!

The amazing photographer and graphic designer, Elena Wilken has just recently released her latest professional templates for photographers. I was absolutely honored that she asked me to use my images in some of her sample templates for her online store. She is beyond talented and has put together a series of stunning, high end templates that you must check out! To see her gorgeous work and to purchase her templates, visit her online store! She also has some pretty sweet freebies available. Check it!

Pssst… Elena is also one of our Wine Country Workshop sponsors! Our attendees will be receiving some of Elena’s beautiful work.
