HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
WOW! I really can not believe it is 2016! I feel like 2015 just FLEW by! Looking back on 2015, it really was a rollercoaster of a year- both professionally and personally! I will be posting a recap of 2015 tomorrow to take one last trip down memory lane of the good, bad and ugly of 2015!
Today is all about A NEW YEAR!!
New Goals…
New Dreams…
New Obstacles…
New Hope….
You see, I firmly believe that you have to constantly keep moving forward. What happened yesterday, last month, last year, it’s gone. You can be successful one year, and not the next. It’s all on how you prepped and planned for it. So while I am so happy with how 2015 went, I am truly focused on 2016.
I spent alot of my vacation thinking about 2016. And I can admit to you, I’m scared.
All I keep thinking about is,
“How do I top that…”
“How do I top the number of sessions I had?”
“How do I top having a viral photo that changed everything about my business?”
“How can I be more successful than last year?”
Then, I remember I can’t have fear. I have to just do. And I will hope for the best. I heard a quote before that said something along these lines…
““You see, when you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide. When you have some goal out here that you are stretching for and reaching for that takes you out of your comfort zone, you’ll find out talents and abilities about you that you have, that you didn’t know you had!””
So, I have big dreams and goals for Vanessa Hicks Photography. They may not happen this year, but I will do everything in my power to make them happen someday!
So, here are some goals I’ve created for 2016!!!
PERSONALLY:
- Read more! I have a list of 16 books to read in 2016!
- Explore more of California!
- Be more PRESENT!
- Beat my half marathon time!
- Get my fitness back on track (all of those holiday treats have stuck around in my midsection!)
PROFESSIONALLY:
- Attend photography workshops
- Redo Contracts, Workflow, and Website
- Schedule a day off each week (yes, I have a problem of not doing this!)
- Host Spring and Christmas Minis this year (the only 2 minis that will happen all year!)
- Attend a Bridal Show
- Book 7 weddings
- DO NOT OVERBOOK MYSELF!
- Get published!
- Research next duty station. We find out in February where we are off to next for 2017!

Well there you have it! I can not wait to see what 2016 brings! I can’t wait to capture your memories and take Vanessa Hicks Photography to the next level! Hop on board, it will be a great ride!!!
