2015 Hopefulutions 05.01.
2014 was mind-boggling! I saw parts of the world I’ve only DREAMED about – Hawaii and Italy! I photographed some of the most beautiful weddings and shared so many heartfelt moments with sweet souls! It was a pretty big year for growth – emotionally and professionally – and I’m absolutely thrilled to see what 2015 has in store! I personally love setting goals (large and small), so these lists are always fun for me to do! Here’s what I have my fingers crossed for (and commentary on last year’s hopefulutions).
2014 Resolutions
- Travel (yep, still on the list haha)
- Expand WRS (new studio, possible lab, introduce new ideas)
- Start a band with Andy
- Take a train to NOLA (leaving this on the list)
- Expand Vertical House Records
- Make more time for gardening
- Construct a greenhouse or implement cold frames
- Publish a photo book
- Visualize and execute 3-5 styled sessions
- Capture at least 2 destination weddings
- Visit the PNW
- Learn a new camera system
2013 Resolutions (with commentary)
- Travel (Hawaii! Italy! Savannah! And lots of little trips in between. I can’t wait to see where 2015 takes us. I have definitely been bitten by the travel bug!)
- Get published with my film work (Check! No’Ala Magazine, Magnolia Rouge, Style Me Pretty, Southern Bride, Southern Weddings, Travelouge, and several other fantastic folks are so supporting!)
- Set up a darkroom (womp womp don’t currently have an active one – but fingers crossed we get our new space this year and can make this one happen)
- Take a train to NOLA (boo hiss not this year! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that a new idea I have with WRS will allow this to work out this year!)
- Bike more (We biked all over the place! Not so much in the Winter cause I’m still a baby about the cold, but any day it was nice we walked or rode our bike)
- Make more time for gardening (Had a pretty nice garden this year! I can’t wait to get our green house constructed so we can get a more permanent plan in place)
- Construct a greenhouse or implement cold frames (we found most all of the windows for it – now just to build it! This goal remains on the list since we are one huge step closer!)
- Get more involved with the photographic community (I networked a lot – yay! Met lots of new friends! Excited to see where life takes us!)
- Host a really great party (Friendsgiving was so much fun and we had a couple of Summer night parties. MOAR BBQS PLZ!)
- Start a vintage shop – either a brick and mortar or online store (not quite, but I am selling some of my vintage dresses in our shop…so half a check mark?)
- Pick up an additional yoga class (Not one, but two additional classes!)
- Start cooking with Andy (not sure why I don’t have the patience for it, but Ima keep trying!)
