54 booked on the year (so far) but 1st quarter is down so we're doing the same as everyone — working on marketing materials, practicing yoga, home fix up.

Insane number of meetings ... 5-7 a week.

My last wedding was in November but I had a few engagement sessions in December. Just a couple weeks ago I finished all my editing from those events. I have until Feb 28th off and then it's back to it! Right now I am enjoying doing a whole lot of nothing.

Probably my busiest January/February to date.

I seriously need to catch up with bookkeeping and closing the books.

working on SEO, marketing, and upgrading gear. Did a bridal show to fill the time because, you know, I don't have enough to be stressed about.

I'm not sure if I'm on hiatus but rather became more selective. Don't need the money. Used to bust my chops chasing contracts. Burned out somewhat. Now a bit more laid back. Been good for my soul. Family time is great.
Taking intersting contracts only. After all I got into photography because I enjoyed it.

Curious — why does anyone who on a break from shooting weddings actually read threads on a wedding photography forum? Would forum posts on woodworking, yoga, parenting, etc be more productive for your non-wedding life?

I still like to keep up with what's shaking in the wedding biz even if I'm not shooting for a while. I do spend time on other forums, especially sailing forums. I also just started shooting skeet so I'm reading up on that sport as well.

Mostly I'm getting things done around the house and the condo.

Yeah, me too. I'm turning away or sending to the moon pricing right now.

Work has slowed down a bit for me, but I'm basically still going. I've done 3 engagement sessions this month with a couple more planned in the upcoming week. One February wedding and one March wedding will help to keep me from getting too bored before things get rolling again in the spring.
