Photography Goals for 2014

2013 has been an exciting year for me. I shot amazing weddings and sessions, met amazing people, and went full time. 
But 2014 will be even better! I have big plans and many goals and I know that hard work, humility and God’s blessings, good things will happen.

So here it is, my 2014 business goals list:

Get published! It’s been a dream of mine for a while now! I just need to produce and submit! There are so many places you can get published and so many opportinuties.

 Do more styled shoots. One awesome thing about the local photographers in the area I live, is that they are constantly wanting to do something different! I just created a stylized Winter Wonderland Shoot with a great friend and photographer of mine and it was AMAZING!

Seriously, let’s get creative! We want to think outside of the box, and still make some elegant & beautiful stories come to life.!

 Branding. This is almost on every photographer’s list of goals. Maybe creative’s are just never completely happy with their logo, their website etc. And that might be a good thing. We need to develop to move forward and to stay creative. Branding is so much more than just a logo and that might be the reason why it’s so tricky. Your brand is you. It is what you represent. 2013 has taught me that it’s not an easy process. I’m so indecisive and it drives me crazy! One of the first things I want to tackle this year is welcome packages and client packaging.

Do exciting things. One of my biggest goals is to get a destination wedding booked! I love to travel and see new things! I would love to shoot on a tropical beach, or even somewhere in Europe! Ah swoon!!

Be fit. Another obvious choice. I want to be healthy, happy and fit. Since I am not really a big fan of going to the gym by myself, I joined Crossfit. Best decision ever! I love the challenge and friendships I’ve made with the other people in the Box!  Keep some space between work and our personal life. This is a tough one and I think I might need some tough love here. Being self-employed does not mean that you have to work 24/7. In 2014 I will work on knowing when to “turn work off”. I hope this means I’ll have a lot more time for friends, for going new places, and movie dates with the hubby

What are your goals for 2014?
