Happy new year!
If you haven’t already, and regardless of whether or not you own a small busines, you should plan out your year this weekend. I’d suggest you set up three goals to work towards:
Personal Goal – Something you want to work towards during the year that revolves around you. This could be spending more time with family or fixing up your home or managing your home time more.
Health Goal – Do you want to try exercising more? Do you want to improve your eating habits? Do you want to work on your mental health?
Professional Goal – What are you working towards professionally. This isn’t what the powers that be want of you, it’s what you want to work towards professionally for yourself.
The catch is you have to make it things you can accomplish in a year. That is, something YOU can accomplish in a year, not some imagined perfect version of yourself that sets a bar that’s way too high. Alternatively, you want something YOU can accomplish in a YEAR, not what some imagined perfectly imperfect version of yourself can easily accomplish and sets the bar too low.
As always, working with animals – you need to be patient! Getting angry or frustrated will just upset or scare them and make it more difficult to work with them. This shot was at two light setup (plus how many ever lights are on the tree). I started by setting up for the lights on the tree and then worked from there. One of the strobes is overhead with a boom stand and softbox. The other strobe is just off to the side real low with a softbox. Both have grids on them to guide the light.
As always, if you need photography work my schedule is open. I do family photos, sports, events, and weddings. Contact me to setup a photo session!
