Picture it: it’s Wednesday night of a packed October week, minis are on Saturday, and you can’t remember if you texted those families. Then Saturday rolls around, and your camera battery is sitting at 12%. Crap...you forgot to charge your batteries because your mind is frazzled!


This episode is for that scenario, and for the overwhelm behind it. I’m walking you through the exact pre-session routine I follow before every single family session, mini or full, so your busy season feels calm instead of chaotic. You can watch it on YouTube or listen right here on the podcast. Grab the printable checklist too, so you never have to rely on your memory again! You should have an SOP!


Why am I talking about this now? After many busy seasons, I’ve learned your client experience is only as good as your busiest week. When you’re slammed in September, October, and November, it’s easy to send one family a detailed reminder and forget to text the next one. Those families don’t know you’re tired. They only know what they received.
