BEING MORE THAN A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION..

Its new years again and around this time I'm sure we all hear this "New year, New me" resolution right?  But we all really know that its just a phase for most. However, I have made a resolution for myself to stop being scared and really go after the things I want for my life. I choose to finally pursue my passion of photography and make the most of my craft. My back story goes a little something like this... After a year of inspirational push, lost of trials, some serious errors, and lets not forget to mention a lot of pro bono work. It was only after trying out so many types of photography that I truly desired to work in Wedding, Anniversary and family photography. The best feeling I could probably compare this passion of photography to is my love of hallmark movies!!  YES, I said it... Hallmark movies! And I mean the ones that drip with romance and cheesy love. The kind that makes you feel giddy inside and makes you smile on the outside without you even realizing it. 

For Christmas my best friend gifted me planner because she knows the benefits of my OCD of a schedule and it was time to update my new planner for 2016! Along with my planner she graciously shared a challenge and goal list created by Abby Grace who is a HUGE inspiration to me! On a side note we attended Justin & Mary Marantz workshop "The Event" just a few weeks ago and I was able to meet Abby Grace Herself! We chatted, we laughed and we even took a photo together! She really is everything i imagined and so much more. Also at "The Event" I had the honor of meeting and hearing from so many other photographers who lead the industry on the East coast. I learned so much in just one day of hearing so many speakers who shared techniques, stories and gave really great advice with others who are just like me. I am truly thankful to know that there are others like myself who believe in community over competition.  Since then that fire has ignited in my heart and soul and I don't want to jinx myself but if I could be a weather woman Id forecast that this year is going to be a year of blue skies, beautiful horizons and warm golden hour days.
