I would like to announce that I will NOT be booking sessions from December 20th UNTIL January 7th 2013. Any and ALL sessions that were planned BEFORE will still be at their scheduled times.
As the new year approaches I have made several goals for myself, my health, and for my business.
But before I get down to the NITTY GRITTY that we all like to call RESOLUTIONS, I wanted to wish everyone a safe and delightful Christmas and warmest wishes for the new year. Here are a few photos from a session featuring my husband and I from the "OH! So fabulous" Jennifer blake photography. you can view the rest of her work here.
I wanted to Start off the new year the right way with a schedule on health, life and business and I just may have figured out my system.
I plan on separating my year into quarters. Every three months I will be setting goals and reviewing my past goals for accomplishment or failure. (fingers crossed NO FAILURES)
For the month of January, I will be giving up soda. Which for me is VERY HARD considering I work at a restaurant. But I WILL keep myself accountable.
ALSO EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY I will be blogging and editing. I will host some special give-aways from the blog so stay tuned.
I have been considering doing a video blog post every once in a while so that you can meet the "REAL" me. Anyone interested in me making a FOOL of myself on camera leave a comment below!
My main goal with the NEW blog is to get y'all as fans to interact more. Not necessarily with my photographs but even more with each other. I would LOVE to see you guys interact with each other and find common ground.
February, I plan on continuing to give up soda and start going back to the gym or working out. This is where my husband has to help me. A lot of times I will find myself (a lot like tonight) sitting in front of a computer when I could be on a treadmill running or even out walking the 5k around a local school district. I need the push and my husband has it.
I plan on putting TONS of seniors in the books. February will mostly be marketing and booking for me. Because it is still chilly here in February, I figured this will be a slow month. still taking on the session every now and again and keeping up with blogging every Monday and Wednesday, I will be making sure I am marketing to the best of my ability. If you are a HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, look for my flyers and business cards located in your schools office.
In March, I plan to start shooting all the lovely seniors that book and get prepped for the wedding season. (which starts in April and runs until about the end of November here.)
On top of blogging and marketing I plan to work on my editing style. I know what I want to see as my style, but I want to MASTER my style. (a hand edit EVERY TIME rather than an action) I plan to work on getting the shot IN CAMERA the first time and not have to do much to it in POST PROCESSING.
As for my health/life portion. March opens the door to my SPRING cleaning. I like to break my cleaning into a different room EVERY WEEK! By this time, I hope to have all of my photos hung on the wall and do a DEEP CLEAN in my tiny home.
In march i will ALSO be posting another quarterly goals post and also review my last quarter. With in those three months, I plan on having a blog contest and you DO NOT want to miss out on that opportunity.
I want to hear your new years resolutions. Log onto Facebook.com and visit www.facebook.com/hn.haleynicolephotography and tell me your biggest resolution for 2013. business related, personal, or health related.
Thank you again for all the continuous support from family friends, and fans. I LOOK FORWARD to a successful and prosperous new year with all of you.
