(first park visit this year and someone was NOT happy about leaving!)

this time each year i love to give a session away.  temps are slowly rising, the sun is still out after dinner and my photography calendar is quickly filling up.  i am again reminded of how lucky i am!  i know many fret about age but i honestly feel as though my life just gets better each year.  i am older, but i am also wiser, more confident and just more comfortable in my life overall.  so, with all that said, thanks for being here!  it is hard for me to put into words, but i so appreciate the support and encouragement i have received along the way from each of you!

now to the details (it couldn’t be easier!)

* share the facebook post on your wall

*comment below here (or click here) that you shared

i will announce the winner here on saturday (3/14) in the afternoon – good luck!

achieving goals.

3.10.15

i have a little note that i see daily where i keep a running list of things i want to accomplish in my photography business.  some big.  some small.  some simple.  some not so simple.  near the end of 2014 i made a list for the upcoming year.  one of my many 2015 goals was to get published in a magazine.  i was giving myself a year to make this happen.  so, it was a complete surprise when mid january i received an email asking permission to feature my images in the upcoming edition of mozi magazine!  (a photography magazine packed with tons of info + inspiration)

i still can’t believe it.  it is so crazy to see my images of my family in print, BUT the absolute coolest part of it for me is that my silly little lists paid off!  something i thought of as far, far, far off in the future, turned out to be attainable and a lot sooner than expected.

so go write your goals down – no matter how crazy or silly they may seem to reach, you have that constant reminder to work towards it and make things happen!
