What goes on in the typical day with Faith Harbour Photography?

WAKE UP!!!

My typical day starts around 5 a.m. Early right???? I have been getting up at that time or earlier for 10+ years.  I have always gravitated towards jobs that had early morning shifts.  While in college, I started one of my jobs around 3:30a.m! I have always enjoyed being able to get done early in the afternoon and still having a lot of my day free! This has helped me continue to grow my photography business while still having a full time job to help support my husband and I. 

Once I wake up{ it takes a while} even though I love working early, I’m still not much of a morning person, the first thing I do is meditate.  Taking 5-10 minutes every morning to just focus on your breathing and clearing your mind, makes the day go so much smoother.  After that I stretch and do some yoga poses to loosen up for the day.  Then, I make the bed, get dressed, pack my snacks for work and head out the door to get to Kwik Trip by 6a.m. 



WORK WORK WORK

My typical days are 6-8 hours, we work on 38 hour work weeks so I get one short day in the 5 that I work.  My day at Kwik Trip consists of usually working in the kitchen, making up all the yummy hot food that you see on the hot spot in every Kwik Trip.  My favorite place to be in the store is Chicken, working the fryers is relaxing for me for some reason.  

HEADING HOME

After work I head home and take a shower(gotta get the chicken smell off me). Then I do my housework tasks quickly before sitting down and catching up with my husband for the day while we watch Good Mythical Morning.  Any GMM fans out there? Connor and I have been watching them for 10 years or so and we have actually met them in person while they were on tour in Milwaukee! They are super cool guys!

Once we finish watching and all my to-do list items are finished, I head into my office and put on my photography business hat! Depending on the day and what I have to get done, my tasks vary.  From editing, to writing social media posts, to designing client albums and everything in between! I spend a couple hours everyday at least, working on my business.  With everything going on in my life, still getting to spend time with my husband and finding time for myself, I make sure to put as much time into growing my business as I can! My goal is to one day leave Kwik Trip behind and go full time wedding photographer! (Dreams in the making!!)

CALMING DOWN FOR THE NIGHT

After I finish all my business work, it is time for dinner, to wind down and spend time on some of my hobbies, like painting, crafting, or playing games with my siblings and husband.  My nightly routine consists of brushing my teeth, washing my face, drinking a cup of hot tea, stretching again and then reading until I get too tired to keep my eyes open anymore! 

And that is a day in the life of me!
