See ya later 2009…
♥ Sacramento child and family photographer

January 4, 2010

I was out to coffee with my Mom and Sister, we got to talking about 2009. I realized that two really good things happened in 2009, we bought a house, and baby E-Diddy was born. I’m not saying absolutely nothing good came of 2009 except for those two things, I’m just saying…along with the majority of people that I’m hearing, that 2010 is going to be awesome. I didn’t make resolutions last year, I usually never do. And when I do, I call them “goals”, but this year, I want make some changes, especially when it comes to photography and using this gift that the Lord has given me.

#1. I want to take more photos. For someone who love photography so much, I don’t pick up my camera very much. It is sad really.

#2. In taking more photos…I want to blog more. A lot more. Blog everything. It is my online journal and one day I will print it and put it in a beautiful book for my kids. I want to post pictures, not for anyone else’s approval, just for my kids’ future.

#3. I want to put myself out there, gain more clients and grow my business. I love love love taking photos for other people. I’m not able to do it nearly enough. But this will take a lot of work and a lot of courage!

#4. More projects…more challenges…I’m thinking a self portrait challenge or a photo a day challenge…who’s up for it with me? I would rather not do it alone! Let’s talk about some ideas!

Well…that is it. At least that’s all I will post for the world to read! The rest goes in my private, non-digital journal!

There were so many photos that I loved this year. So many I never got to post here or share anywhere for that matter. So I’m doing it now. They are all of my kids of course! So here’s a big random share of pictures throughout 2009.

Thank you to all my blog readers, my clients, my family and friends for coming here and supporting me in my photography. May 2010 ROCK!! :)

Juanita: I always love your photos and your blog and have not been picking up my camera nearly enough recently...I could do with a challenge. Of course, you'll probably do much better at sticking to it than I will, but I need some extra motivation :)

Rachel: Beautiful shots. I do hope that you take more pictures this year -- I always love to see the moments that you capture. And I hope you blog more, too, so I can get some more glimpses into your life. :)

Shannon cunningham: We are heading back to MV tomorrow after a long visit with fAmily. I am so looking forward to a week of reflection and setting goals. So yes I'd love go except a challenge with you in the photo world. I just ordered my long awaited canon mark ii so a daily photo sounds fun! Excited for 2010!!

Tracey: Happy 2010 Amy and family

amandab: Just so you know, I always love seeing a new blog post from you in my inbox, it is truly one of my favorite things to read/see in a day!! Looking forward to many more in 2010, it will be an awesome year;)

Amy: Thank you all so much! Ok then! Let's get a challenge going! Any ideas?! Tracey! Happy New Year!

Jessica: i am up for a challenge. not too sure how i would be at a daily one...but maybe weekly? you are always such an inspiration!
