2026 Goals

Another year, same ole’ me. I don’t really celebrate holidays, but I do love goals for the new year. Not because it makes me a “better person” - whatever that means - but because it makes boring things fun.

For 2025, I had similar goals to 2024. My goals this past year were:

• Offer 1 fun themed portrait project a month - I did it!

• complete 50 photo sessions - I did 62!

• host 14 Fat Swims - I hosted 12, but I’m counting it

• send out 24 newsletters - I sent out 72!!

• write 36 blogs - I wrote 96!

• collaborate on 4 events with community partners - I did a whole lot more than 4!

Lastly, my goal was to prioritize rest and avoid working weekends - I think I did pretty good this year!

For 2026, my business goals are about the same:

• Host 12 Fat Swims

• Host 4 events with community partners

• Send out 106 newsletters

• Write 156 blogs (that’s 3 a week!)

• Vend at 4 trade shows

• Book 26 family sessions

• Book 26 boudoir sessions

• Increase my average per client by 50%

• Plan 2 special projects a month

• Plan 4 campaigns this year that fundraise for community orgs

• Plan 1 week a month with no in person meetings

My personal goals?

• Swim 2x a week

• Lift weights 3x a week

• Try 1 new thing a month

• Deep clean 1 thing a week

• Go to 4 art shows

• Schedule a quarterly rest or celebration

• Participate in a virtual moon circle

• Have dedicated screen-free days and times

• Meal prep and eat often!

We got this!! Whatever your intentions or goals are for 2026, I am rooting for you.
