WE DID IT! Photography Business Goals: 23 Photoshoots in 2023!

WE DID IT! When I was laid off in January, and my husband and I sat down to discuss making my photography and design business my full time job, I had no idea what this year would look like. I set a goal of photographing 23 photoshoots in 2023, and I honestly had no idea how long it would take to get to that point. I bought this bottle of champagne and told myself that I would pop it when we reached our goal.

My friends, we are in June—halfway through the year—and I am SO thrilled to say that we just hit 23 photoshoots!

Our twenty-third session was meant to be: team headshots for one of our favorite fellow women-owned businesses (and dear friends of ours who we have known for years!) Erica, Sharon, and the rest of the team at Spa Studio Adirondacks. (Sidenote: if you are looking for professional spa services, you must go see them! They are wonderful and talented humans.)

For most of the year, I didn’t know who would be lucky number 23, and when I realized it would be Spa Studio, it felt deeply meant to be. I’m so thrilled to have gotten the chance to celebrate with them!

This goal would never have been reachable without all of your support. Thank you for the public and private messages of encouragement, the friendship and mentorship of my fellow photographers, and those of you who held my hand and believed I could do this from the beginning—even when I wasn’t sure myself. WE DID IT! And I do mean “we”.

What’s next? I turn 40 in February, and now we’re going for 40 photoshoots before 40! Who’s with me? Let’s do this!
