This post has been a LONG time coming. Taylor Swift has her squad, Ellen DeGeneres has hers, and I have mine. These people (the ones below, not Taylor & Ellen) are a HUGE part of the reason that we’ve risen to the level we’re at today, and I literally cannot do this without them! Earlier this week I released a free video lesson on Outsourcing, and a new lesson on Automation is coming on Monday! So in tandem with that, may I present: The Abby Grace Squad! Photos first, then captions after.

Matt: CFO, COO, and general Keeper-Together of AGP. Also, most importantly, my husband. Matt officially began AGP duties last summer as we eased into working together, and as most of you know, he left his day job in April to come on as my full-time parter in crime! (To read more about Matt’s responsibilities around the office, read this post!)

Jeff Shipley of J. Shipley Creative & Tonic Site Shop: Jeff is my graphic designer, and has been for the last three years! I first began working with Jeff on some pretty hefty website tweaks, and it’s been such a trip to see how my work and online presence has grown as a result of working with him. We’re in the middle of working on the transition to ShowIt5, and I canNOT wait for you guys to see the result! Jeff is talented, hilarious, and has excellent taste in cocktails and cheese selections.

Nicole of Nicole Anderson Paper Co.: Nicole does all of my paper products, and any downloadable PDFs + collateral for A Practical Wedding Workshop Live. She’s AMAZING! I first met Nicole when we were bridesmaids together in my cousin Meg’s wedding, and seeing her business take off has been breathtaking. Her taste is impeccable- classic and clean, a bit preppy, and always luxurious. (photo by Kristi McKeag)

Andrea at Align Album Design: if you listened to the first video lesson, you’ll know that album design was the first thing I ever outsourced. Andrea was the first person to show me just how valuable it is when you find someone you trust to help take work off your plate! Our album process is so much smoother than it used to be, and the design itself is better than I could do on my own! (photo by Melissa Jill, owner of Align!)

Marissa Lynn– my editor! I was at the end of my rope when Marissa emailed me in January, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. I knew I needed to outsource editing in a BAD way but just couldn’t seem to find the right person for it. Marissa swooped in and has saved me HOURS every week. I love her!

Ethan & Lauren- my second shooters for the year! This is Ethan’s 4th season with me and he gets better and better with every wedding. And his pants are famous wherever he goes. I also brought on Lauren for the 2016 wedding season for when Ethan wasn’t available, and dang- this gal is GOOD. She’s got such a humble, serving heart, and weddings with her are a joy!

Reina of Reina + C0.– I’ve made reference in the past to our business coach, but this is the first time I’ve actually named her. Reina is, without a doubt, one of the best investments we’ve ever made in our business. She’s kind, patient, wise, savvy, and she’s genuinely interested in seeing us grow into our potential. In short, we love her!

Natalie Franke– she’s my go-to gal when I have heart-related business question, or when I need to spitball an idea. She’s brilliant, and spending time with Nat is good for the soul. She’s an encourager, a dear friend, and a trusted ally. I know Natalie will always give things to me straight, but with LOVE. Everyone needs a Natalie in their lives!

If you’re interested in hearing more about how and what we outsource, make sure to watch the free video series I’m teaching! Lesson 2 comes out on Monday!
