Hope you had a wonderful New Year! I love how ringing in the new year makes us revaluate the areas in our lives where we can most improve. I don’t have many personal resolution for this year except to manage my time a little better so I can do all the things I want to do like: continue working on the house and taking my business and photography to the next level. Along with getting myself on a definite blogging schedule, there are a few other goals I have for my business and this space in the new year like:
♥ Getting Personal: I love that my business continues to grow with every passing year, but my personal photography projects and posts have suffered because of it. I am hoping that resuming as contributor to Communal Global and continuing the monthly Creativity Project circle will help jump start that desire to start shooting just for fun again.
♥ Behind the Lens: I want to continue doing photography tip and tutorial posts for other photography enthusiast, as well as “behind the scenes” posts. I don’t consider myself an expert, but I do enjoy learning new things and spreading that knowledge whenever I can.
♥ Going USB: Because everyone has an iPad these days (except for me of course!) and because CDs are practically becoming obsolete, I’ve decided to make the switch to USB for presenting digital images to clients. More on that soon!
♥ New Site: My actual website doesn’t get nearly as much love as my blog and is in desperate need of “sprucing up”. I’m going to work on bringing my portfolios up to date with my most recent work and give the whole site a fresh new look.
♥ Social Media: If you look to your left, Twitter is no longer on the list of social media sites where you’ll find me. Now you can find me posting regularly to: Facebook (for business/ photography related posts), Instagram (for personal photos) and Pinterest (where I collect ideas, inspiration, tips/ tutorials and everything in between).
Do you have resolutions or goals for the new year?
mindy - great goals!!! I’m switching to USB this year, too… there are a TON of fun USB drives out there! I know you will have a fantastic year :)
Amy - Just when I think you can’t possible get a cuter picture of the Parker pups! Oh right, the question was resolutions . . . I’m still pondering. :)
Tiffany B. - Love Parker and great goals for the new year. I love all your photography tips, I take all my own photos for my products so everything helps!. I just created my business goals the other day. My top goal is my sales goal and opening my own website. I currently just sell on etsy so it will be nice to have more than one place to sell items.
Happy New Year!
Life with Kaishon - My goal for 2013 is to meet Parker.
I am aiming high I know.
I would also love to meet Kleiber.
: ) Crossing my fingers.
suki - those are some fantastic goals… i saw your winter sale! TEMPTING. :-)
Tiera - No more Twitter? That’s probably my favourite social media site of them all, lol! Can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for you — and love the photo of Parker!
Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - I know :( I used to be very active on Twitter, but I just didn’t find a use for it now. Once I started Instagramming, it seemed more my speed because you can post pictures and make comments.
Sabine - Happy New Year, Maddy! I’m in awe of your NY resolutions…
Myself, I just decided to leave instagram because of their copyright shenanigans – not happy for them to be allowed grab and sell my photos.
Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - I know a lot of people felt the same way about Instagram. I use it mostly for personal photos/ snapshots. I doubt they’ll find anything worth selling in my feed :)
