Every year, I set goals for myself, and for my business. The goals range from simply spending more time journaling (it’s a lot harder than it sounds) and revamping my website, to bigger things like increasing the number of weddings, engagements, and portraits I shoot per year. I like to set goals because I never want to be a person who stops growing and learning. It’s a good exercise  to write these goals down because then I feel responsible to fulfill them…. kind of like keeping myself accountable to the person I wish to be. Well, one of my big business goals last year was to try to get 2 weddings published in magazines or wedding style blogs. I started smaller and submitted a few engagement shoots, then drew up the courage to submit some weddings. I was floored when wedding blogs and even a magazine wanted to publish my work! And I’m SO EXCITED to report that 3 Engagement shoots, 1 portrrait, and 3 weddings were published last year. Woohoo! The latest wedding to be published is Joe and Rachel’s Sacramento Area wedding from last fall! To view their full post at “On the Go Bride” Blog, click here.

So here’s to setting goals… dreaming bigger… and achieving those goals. Here’s to becoming to person we wish to be!
