Lately I've been looking for ways to make doing business easier. I've been playing around with FreshBooks, an online invoicing & client management system. It allows me to easily send estimates, invoices and keep track of communications with clients. Folks can even pay their retainers and sign their contracts through it - so no more snail mail AND you can pay electronically. I think that's just awesome, because who uses checks or cash anymore really? I know personally that if I go somewhere, I take my debit card and my driver's license and I'm good to go for 95% of situations. It's time my photography gets with it too.


So if you've been talking to me lately about booking a session, you might be seeing an invitation in your inbox to your invoice online.


Also, HHp is upgrading our computer systems to Windows 7 this evening! Let's hope there are less crashes with this OS. It could seriously make my work flow a lot better! And all you mac folks, I KNOW. Trust me, I'd go mac if I could. And I will someday soon. But for now, my hands are tied.


Over and out-

I thought I'd give the photo software Capture One a try this evening, just for kicks. Turns out its a bit complicated for what I need at the moment, but check out what I did in like two minutes on this flower photo with the color selection tools! Pretty sweet.

Anyway, I won't be buying it anytime soon, but its always good to know what's out there.

Here's a quick preview from Justin and Charissa's wedding on Saturday!
