Continuing on with the beginnings of Wander: I wanted to create a business apart from my name (which is all I've ever done) to allow growth. Growth in numbers, purpose, passion, workload, and in people. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I've been a solopreneur always, so the idea of having a team felt like a distant dream. I dream of Wander Creative Content being a small creative agency with passionate and local freelancers coming together to serve local businesses. And guess what? It's begun.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Meet Lauren + David, two wonderful freelancers who have joined the team. Lauren has a background in UX design, and we met while working on a website design project through a Whittier City Councilman. Lauren is organized, creative, a process-lover, and an all around awesome team player. I'm so grateful we crossed paths and now get to collaborate weekly.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
David is born and raised Whittier, and was already in the social media management world when we connected. He also brings a skillset of film photography, video editing, and meme hunting (it's a thing, promise.) ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm grateful for these two. It's been a sweet, slow, gradual growth. My dream is to introduce you to many new faces in the years to come. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So when you see Wander at work, just know there's a local team of us trying to create killer content for your business. Have a fantastic weekend!⁠⠀

And if you recognize these two, drop them a line won't you? 👇

We’re home and settled. Laundry is put away, bags are in the closet, work is back in action. Life keeps moving. But we are grateful for that once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip to the UK (with dear friends, too. Hi Medinas.) These moments are sweet for many reasons, and here’s a tiny window into the trip.
I’m excited to share more about the beginnings of Wander + the different business model I’m striving to create which is different than my last business. (Hint: it involves a team!) I was able to take this trip for a few reasons, and I’m excited to share what that looked like.

Come back tomorrow to learn more about what that looks like. And would you be interested in seeing more trip photos? Thinking of a travel blog post. #wandercreativecontent

These two tied the knot in San Diego last Saturday and we felt lucky to be there to capture it all. I met Yana a lifetime ago back in MA and it was sweet to have my east coast + west coast roots overlap. This was my last wedding of the year, which is always a little bittersweet.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I started Wander last fall, I knew that I would be intentionally scaling back on my wedding marketing and overall focus. But this year has been amazing with the weddings that have come along and it's been the right workload. Thanks to everyone that has included me in your wedding day this year! It means the world, and it's a job that brings joy, purpose, and pleasure in my corner of the world.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This path of what to pursue, what to say yes to, what to say no to, and how to navigate freelance life has not been straightforward. I used to put a LOT of pressure on myself to book a certain number of weddings.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wander was born out of a desire (and a million other things combined) to create consistency in the work week, while allowing flexibility with weddings as they come. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For about 5 years wedding photography was my main source of income. Now it's back to a secondary focus as social media management and creative content for small businesses is the primary.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That switch (which I mentioned a few posts back) was painful for me to come to terms with: why is doing the right thing so hard at times? I kept feeling a nudge to make the change, and in the end I'm incredibly thankful I did. I think that's something as a freelancer I'm working on: staying patient, but being flexible. It's a good reminder, too, that all of our career paths look different. There was no blueprint for this journey. That challenges me to trust Jesus even more so, and to process it with other loved ones who can remind me of his faithfulness along the way.
