Goals....

OK...so I hardly ever just blog. And sometimes when I read other inspirational photographers blog, they sometimes just blog about this and that and everything in between...and I enjoy reading that (that sometimes can be just as inspirational). So I have decided that for the year of 2010, I will blog my own personal goals at the beginning of each month (however, I make NO promises it will be on the 1st of every month). When I first started my photography business, I had NO idea that it would have brought me this far. I did my first session with a friend of mine's little boy for his first birthday, and now he just turned 3. I have learned SO SO much since then, and I am so thankful for that. Granted, I have TONS more to learn and that may just very well be my favorite part of this. I am constantly learning new things and I know there is SO much more that it just excites me! I honestly didn't know what a manual setting on a camera was 2 years ago, much less how to use it....NOW, I am unsure I could shoot in ANYthing else! I owe everything to everyone who has giving me the opportunity to learn, and everyone who has pushed me to not stop (even though there has been several times that I have thought to myself...I can't do this). But the reality is, I CAN do this. A quote I saw not too long ago was a question. It asked, what would you do if you KNEW you would not fail? Well, I think, that everyone that has succeeded in their journeys of life have lived by this quote regardless if they had ever even heard it. I think of this question is a push button kind of like the staples "easy" button. As long as I KNOW I can do it, I WILL do it. End of story. Period. I also would like to thank all the photographers out there that are so inspirational. I am sure 100% (or more if possible) of them do not look at my blog, but I am thankful for them.

So FEBRUARY goals for me (and not all of them have anything to do with photography):
