February Goals & January Recap

Hey Friends!

Hope everyone had a great start to their year! 

January was a full month! Here's a recap!

 

January Recap:

 ✔️  1. Finish all sessions left from 2014. - Officially finished this last week! 

 ✔️  2. Photograph a wedding. - It was lovely and it was my first wedding to shoot some film at! Whoop Whoop!

 ✔️  3. Finish Lara Casey's powersheets. - Finally- I never thought this day would come!

     4. Finish Painting our livingroom. - It's almost** done... :-)

 ✔️  5. Make a financial plan for 2015. - Took one HUGE step- needs a few little more steps along the way. 

       6. Make new workflow board or binder system- yep, didn't happen... 

 ✔️  7. Revamp SBP collections. - I've never been so proud of my collections before! So excited for 2015! 

      8. Blog 1 wedding from last year. - Yep, totally failed. 

      9 Blog some film sessions. - I did blog some film, but not whole sessions. I have SO MUCH MORE to share! Check out my instagram feed to see more- I basically have only posted recent film images on there because that's what I've been excited about lately.

 ✔️  10. Revamp portfolio. - Did some, but still needs more attention. 

      11. Finish Welcome packet stuff. - ALMOST DONE

 ✔️  12. Call or hand write thank you's for christmas gifts. 

 ✔️  13. Celebrate 2-year anniversary with my wonderful husband! - So fun and relaxing and needed!

     14. Submit a wedding or shoot to Cottage Hill. (I'm terrible with submitting things) - Yeah, I'm still terrible at making time for this... 

     15. Start working on gathering tax stuff. - Does starting to "mentally gather" stuff count? :-P 

 

Well, there you have it folks. I did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't get everything done that I wanted to. But you know what, there's so much grace! I don't have to be upset b/c my hope isn't in getting all these awesome things done to feel good about my life. Thank you Jesus! 


So here's to a new month and new goals!
