The good, the better, the best of 2015

What a freakin’ adventure 2015 was. 97 shoots total, 11 cities, and so many gosh dang Taco Time runs. Every time I put together one of these posts I always catch myself saying “Oh yea! That shoot!”…so many things that never saw the light of day and deserved to be showed off because I felt like I hit the jackpot with my clients this year — both wedding, commercial & editorial. I left every shoot with new friends connections, new friends, and new lessons learned. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

I feel so ready to head into next year with fresh ideas, focused thoughts, and eyes wide open. Let’s do this. Goodbye 2015 and HERE’S TO 2016.

How do I top this year? It was fantastic. But, as great as it was, I DO have a laundry list of business goals for next year. I want to up the game and leave 2016 saying that was my best year yet (will it be possible? I have no idea), but I know I want to try some new things and not be afraid to experiment a bit more. I want to find time to document more personal moments with the ones I love — and not make it feel like work. I want to take the time to print more of my own photographs. I’d love to find a way to incorporate teaching into my schedule AND some volunteer opportunities. I want to shoot more editorial work. Annnnddd I want to work on a few more collaborations with new (to me) talent. Too much? Maybe, but I’m going to try.

Happy new year to you and yours.
