1/9/2010

With a little encouragement (ok, A LOT!!) from family and friends I have been able to recruit some really awesome clients. I have devoted more time to this business of photo-taking and so I thought it was time to reach out to those who might not have a Facebook account. HA!

At the end of 2009 I intended to start this blog and never quite got that far. But now that we are 9 days deep into 2010, I am finally kicking it off and plan to keep it rolling with frequent updates of my photography biz as well as some personal updates for those who are interested. A few years ago, I started a list that comprised of things I want to do before I am 30. I came across that list a few days ago and have decided that at age 26, it's time to start getting serious about that list. The older I get, the faster time flies by. We are constantly on the go and I blink and moments are gone and the details are too. Time to start writing the details down! One of the things I want to do here is keep that list updated. Of course, I want to cross things off, but I hope to continue adding to it, too. Here it is as of today:

1) Grow a garden

2) Design my own company logo

3) Take a train somewhere on vacation

4) Learn to knit or crochet

5) Purchase a piece of property larger than 1 acre

6) Hike under the Fairfax Bridge

7) Take a trip with my sister and mom

8) Fill a jar with "magical thinking"--this will consist of quotations from my children

9) Get my passport

10) Use my passport

11) Hunt with my husband (not necessarily kill anything)

12) Start a blog and write at least 100 posts in a year ****

13) Get a degree in photography and/or graphic design

14) Buy myself a piece of nice jewelry

15) Learn to french braid

16) Watch Schindler's List from start to finish

17) Go on a field trip as "the cool parent"

18) Finish my sister-in-law's wedding scrapbook

19) Go on a hot air balloon ride

And since this is supposed to be a photography blog, I will try to leave you each time with a photo that I have taken. Thank you for following!! If you want to leave me some love, click on the comment link!

  1. You are so great at what you do!! I can help you with a few things on your 'list'. Starting with #4 I can teach you both or one ;). Then we will move on to #6 but possibly do #15 (since I do have hair you can practice on, I have a hard head so no worries of hurting me). #'s 7,9 & 10 will be done in the near future!! And who knows maybe we'll find a hot air balloon ride in Mexico at a very reasonable price! I don't think you'll have any problems with completing your list and as far as your photagraphy well you are well on your way with that. Keep up the great work!! Chat with ya later!
