Reflection and goals for a new year
So another year has passed and its time for a deep reflection on how far I have come and what goals I have set for 2011. I bought my camera in Oct of 2008 and have done 2 weddings and 20 shoots total since then. Not as many as I would like but I am still growing and learning new things the more I do this. I also took an awesome photo workshop by the ultimately fabulous Allison Carenza that taught me more in one day then I ever thought. I sure hope she has more workshops this year. This is my love and passion in life and my happiness lies in everything i capture no matter what It is....the beauty in flowers, the love of two people, the magic in little kids and the wonders in the sky...one of my top favs: SUNSETS! This year im ready to make some big things happen. Here are my goals for 2011 and not really in any particular order:
1. Purchase a brand new SLR. (my current one was discontinued a little while ago and I see no point in purchasing anything for it espically since the technology keeps on truckin along at lightning speeds!!! Im not sure if I will change brands or not though.
2. Start and possibly finish the Paul Mitchell Hair school. ( I would love to be able to offer Hair and Make up services for future photo shoots!! )
3. Get my website up and running by the end of the summer. ( I have my special graphic designer friend who is helping with all the goodies like that. It will also depend on what she has going on but by the end of 2011 would be ok too!)
4. To grow my clients and facebook followers to at least 300. (I would love for it to be at 500!!!)
And last but not least......
5. I want to think of more ways to get my name out there. (I just recently got my personalized license plate so be on the look out for CAPHOTO on the road! : )
I need to get better at just getting out there and pushing myself to new heights!!
Here are a few sunsets I captured this year.....I could wake up everyday and shoot these. Its definitely something that puts me at ease and makes me forget all the stresses of my everyday life!!!
