Today I feel the calm before the storm. Everything is nice and quiet, very few emails to answer or write, and only one photo shoot on the agenda for the next two weeks. I actually have some time to play tennis, watch a movie or two (you must see Dark Knight if you haven’t already!), and relax. But in 2 weeks, Hurricane Wedding will be blowing in, I’ll be shooting one every weekend.
In an effort to calm this whirlwind madness before it starts and get organized, I am initiating disaster preparedness. This means I will be reviewing my lists: my must-finish by today list, this week’s to-do list, my 1-2 year goals, and lastly my bucket list.
Must Finish By Today
1. Business card design.
2. Send out photos to clients from the last 2 photo shoots.
3. 40 pushups
To-Do List for the Week
1. Finish sending out wedding thank you cards. (I’m still within my 1-year timeframe!)
2. Launch a splash page for my portfolio website.

1-2 Year Goals
1. Be an amazing wedding photographer!
2. Be super good at HDR photography, light painting, add using light and negative space to enhance regular photos.
