Hannah Elise: of goal setting.

nothing like having a whole new year spread before you...

just waiting for exciting things to happen and become memories.

I'm working on a 2011 recap post, with many pictures you haven't seen (because I didn't start this blog till more than halfway through the year!), so check back for that soon.

on new year's eve, 2010, I was babysitting, and later on after the kids were asleep I wrote out goals for the new year (2011).
goals for me personally, spiritually, things like doing a senior recital, graduating from highschool, developing my piano studio, start a blog {!} etc.

and inspired by this post, I wrote out some far-fetched goals with my photography business.

specifically, what I wanted to shoot in 2011:

6 children's sessions.

help photograph 2 weddings. {which didn't end up happening, but at least I wrote it down} :)

4 families.

3 infants.

what I actually shot:

2 infants:

5 families.

more than 5 sessions of kids' pictures.

here are a few from some of those sessions:

3 seniors (which wasn't even on my list!)

Courtney

Miss L

Wade

and other fun things like photoshoots with friends:

Ciara

Amanda

I'm so thankful for all my amazing clients I had this past year!

now that 2012 is here, I made new goals.

I want to really be stretched and grow this year, and therefore made some more, ridiculous goals, and probably unrealistic ones of what I want to shoot this year.

but I'm not saying what those are......you'll have to wait until the end of the year to find out. :)

some things I will share though, that are goals for this year are to:

read 30 books. {which is totally unrealistic...but, lets strive hard!}

post 4x a week. {don't know how realistic that is either}

new blog design/branding.

keep my room ~~organized~~ maintained. {because I can organize it, but keeping it that way is the issue!}

take a picture every day.

and I'm doing a different thing for each month:

jan : self-portrait.

feb. : food

march : books

april : mirror-shot

may : something in nature

june : water

july : facial expressions

august : my shoes/socks/feet

september : light

october : something old

november : something red

december : random {a picture of anything I like}

at the beginning of each month I'll be posting a few favs from whatever was my "topic" to shoot from the last month, so you can look forward to that!

hope you've been making some goals yourself and actually writing them down so you can look back on them in the future!
