Moore Blog!! » ……be different

JoAnna - My #1 goal is to get more organized and be the best wife I can for my soon to be husband (wedding on March 13th!) while also graduating college in May. My #2 goal is to improve my photography and learn photoshop!

Catherine Guidry - To live big..and dream BIGGER.

Kim Calderon - My goal for this year is to restore my feelings of HOPE for the future. With my husband being unemployed for nearly two years and my mom battling cancer in 2009, things started feeling really overwhelming. This year I want to smile more, be more thankful and feel hopeful as I look forward...

Marle Chapman - My goal for the new year is to start going to church and get in touch with the man upstairs.

Hilliary - For 2010, my goal is to completely drown myself in my pictures. To nurture my innovative and creative mind through the lense of my camera.

Jennifer Wong - For 2010, my goal is to also document the ordinary days of my life, not just the big exciting things. There have been so many times that I "didn't feel like taking pictures" and regretted it so much afterwards.

Vittoria - My resolution is the same as it is every year: to take photos that are at least comparable to my grandfather's, a professional, award-winning photographer who died almost exactly 7 years before I was born. He owned a studio in Manhattan, pulled people with "character" off the streets to sit for him, was a complete perfectionist (a trait I inherited), and took some of the most gorgeous pictures I've seen to this day- although I never met him, his work still speaks to me. thanks! DolphinV27@aol.com

Courtney Dox - To witness a miracle... and capture it with my camera! ;)

Steve - To become extremely successful in all my endeavors and to be able to give back two-fold. For where much is given, much is expected...

teresa - As animals and photography are near and dear to my heart, in 2010, I would like to start a photoblog project called recycled love where I can document the creation of simple (think no-sew) bandanas, blankets, and/or toys for adoptable animals at local shelters in the metro Detroit area. Each month a shelter would receive a small variety of items to assist the animals in feeling loved and supported until they can find a new forever home.

maryevelyn - I resolve to WORSHIP my JESUS and NOT my belly god this year! I am trashing my IDOLS of food and sugar to LIFT UP the name of the LORD in my heart and life. :)

Fig - My wife is a stay home mom with a 2 & 4 yr old. My goal is to help her to have the time and the tools to do the things that she loves to do but sacrifices in order to give all that she can to loving our kids.

maryevelyn - I resolve to worship my JJESUS and not my belly god! I will TRASH my idols of food and LIFT UP the name of the LORD in my heart and life.

Scott - My goal for 2010 is to love more, give more and live life to it's fullest and tell those around me about the God that makes it all possible.

Steph Mahoney - My goal for 2010 is to flourish in as many areas of my life as possible! As a wife, daughter, granddaughter, friend, photographer, runner, etc. Doesn't have to be major bc it is the little things that count anyway.

Laura - To learn how to slow down! 2009 got the best of me and I definitely took on more than I could handle. In 2010 I want to sleep (why is it photographers always work late into the night?), get a better workflow, say no, and love on my little man more!

Jennifer Nieland - I want to do my best to throw my pre-conceived notions and plans out the window and trust the Lord to lead me, even if it is out of my comfort zone. So far that has included for me and my husband to sign up for foster care through CPS (in training now!), and re-vamping my priorities for my business.

Danielle - In 2010 I want to work on my A.D.D so I can, look a chicken.

elizabeth - pursuing the talent of being a loving, transforming presence in the lives of everyone around me for HIS kingdom purpose - i hear there's an app for that :)

Kim - I've lost that thing that makes me happy. I'm in a rut. Photography has made my soul smile again. 2010 will be my year to pursue the creativity that God has begun revealing to me.

Tabitha Davidson - I am taking from a great quote as my motto for the year that the journey is more important than the destination

kristy - in 2010 i want to start dreaming again and then chase after those dreams full speed ahead. one dream being to follow my passion of photography.

Jamie Kutter - I want to see the light this year! Kelly, you have such a gift!

Rebecca - Oh boo...well, there I go proving myself right- I thought I'd never gotten around to posting a response, but it appears there I am halfway up!

Chanda - One of my goals for the New Year, 2010 is to do one good deed and/or make one person smile each day of this year! I really think if everyone did this the world would be a much brighter place!

Rebecca - My goal for the year: To be organized and not put things off. I think it's a matter of integrity to do things when you say you're going to do them, but unfortunately it seems I'm always a day behind on everything.

Tamara - In 2010- finish a triathlon, simplify, and remember the glass is always half-full. Also, limit myself to only 2 cookies a day :)

Kris Fulk - My goal for the new year is to QUIT being scared of DRIVING! Can you imagine how much farther I can take my photography career if I can just get behind the wheel and drive more than 30 minutes? Sure my fingertips are blue from fear, but I. WILL. DRIVE. through 2010!

Melissa - My main goal for the new year is to live each day more purposely by SHOWING love instead of just thinking it and by continuing to look for the blessings in each situation. Happy 2010!

Cameron Mora - To ride the year 2010 with my seat belt on, 2009 left me with some nasty scrapes and bruises. To end this year with more positive thoughts than negative, and to just leap, at least once...

Beth Sanders - For 2010, my New Year's resolution is to live a full life free of lyme disease (for the first time in 2.5 years) and go on a honeymoon (after 7 years of marriage)!! Play more with my daughter before she heads to kindergarten in the fall and get straight a's in nursing school (after being out of school for 7.5 years-YIKES!) Live happily and full of life enjoying each moment for what it is, a blessing. Go 2010!!

Rebecca David - My 2010 goal is to embrace all the change coming...growing a photography business, adopting 2 more children from Ethiopia and doing all I can along side my husband to aid the orphans in Ethiopia.

Jacqueline Ward - New Year's resolution - For 2010 I want to be all eyes wide open! I want to focus on truly seeing the things around me, from the hints of yellow that come with the budding of each new leaf on the trees in the Spring to the glimmer of mischief in my children's eyes.

Ashley - One of my goals for 2010 is to read a book every week of the year, the other goal is to be happy :)

Hannah Taylor - My goal for 2010 is to read the Bible all the way through.

Tina - I LOVE TO SHOP. My goal it to quit shopping. I want to organize my photo earnings and see that I make money - not just spend money.

Leigh Schneider - I resolve this year to help someone each day - however I am able. Audrey Hepburn said "I don't think you have to make just the big gestures to be helpful. Every second of every day you can do something. Just a cheerful smile does wonders for a beginning" - and by gosh if it is alright for Audrey it is alright for me!!

Nikki - My resolution is to stop worrying about the things I don't have and enjoy the things I do, especially my two beautiful kids, because they are growing up way too fast!

Sarah - My new years resolution is to follow my dream and launch my own photography business, while ignoring the nay-sayers! This is such a huge and exciting step, the bag is gorgeous btw! Arzeller13@aol.com, Sarah Poole xo

Julia Bruk - Oh trusty Google described a "goal" as "the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end." hummm...but my goal is to develop my own, personal definitions of reality without relying on constant "post-human" sources such as the DROID I'm about to purchase, Google, etc. within my laptop, and the television screen. Instead - rely on beauty, art, family, and human interactions without the impeding digital evolution :P

karen - this year I want to grow into myself and become the person I've always seen myself as in my dreams. I want to make the house we live in more homey. and finally, I want to spend as much time with my little boy as I possibly can; time passes too quickly and we take too much for granted.

Kathryn - My goal is to slow down. Too often I find myself going 90 miles an hour and missing the important things in life. Hopefully this goal will result in more nourished relationships, a deeper longing for God, and more success in my endeavors.

Jennifer - My goal is to get the 2nd one potty trained and not deliver a 3rd!

Maloree - i was journaling today about my year in 2009... this is what i saw: 4-13-08 The number one thing I am learning right now... it's ok to take risks. You never know what your missing out on until you try it. So take risks. You may get hurt, and it may not always be easy, but our walk in life is not always easy. 12-30-09 This is what I wrote: Deuteronomy 30:19 "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses; I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, that you and your descendants might live! Choose to love the Lord your God and to obey him and commit yourself to him, for HE IS YOUR LIFE." I know this is more than just two sentences, but this year I do not necessarily have a "resolution" that I am going to commit my life to, but a promise to God. And here it is... 1. Make progressive goals (Day, Week, and Month); for sometimes we make goals and we don't follow through 2. Take Risks (I once learned that Valleys are inevitable, unpredictable, impartial, temporary, and purposeful) 3. So I MUST: refuse to be discouraged, remember that God is with me, and rely on God's protection and guidance Remember... don't count every hour in the day, but make every hour in the day count!!!

Michelle - This is a New Year's resolution I can keep! Go around in style in a fabulous Kelly Moore bag!

Jessica Magee - My only goal for 2010 is to achieve what every photographer wants to achieve, I want to capture that picture that just stops time and brings joyful tears to the clients' eyes.

Rachel Hyer - Ahhh Kelly - I love your contests! My goal for 2010 would be God to smile down on my new husband and I & our brand spankin' new photography business in Charleston, to be wise in our decisions, creative in our business, becoming an ever more God fearing woman, and shining God's light into our lives. Okay, that's more than one goal but I can't help myself.

Kristie Johnson - My 2010 goal is to model for my "tween" daughters that beauty does not come from our outside appearance, designer clothes, or social status but from the ONE that lives inside you. I think they get it for now but the hardest years are upon us.

Rensche van Dyk - In 2010 I want to, AT THE LEAST, try two photography fields that I've never shot before and shoot more for myself. Happy New Year!

Tami Payne - Hi Kelly.. been a really tough year on this end and I believe someting amazing is in the horizon. With that said... I resolve to take the hardships that I have weathered this year and turn them into an amazing, exhilirating, wonderful, fun, happy, joyful, loving, and adventurous 2010

Miles Boyer - my goal this year is to find one amazing girl who wants the perfect fairytale wedding but can not afford to create it, and I want to help give it to her. I get to see so many beautiful girls so happy, and get to be a part of so many amazing days, but to help a girl design her invites, print her save the dates, have beautiful photos and albums, and be able to be so proud of her wedding day even though she couldn't afford to pay for all of it would make every year more profound.

Lindsey - My goal for the new year is to dematerialize, and try to stay focused everyday on the things I have to be thankful for, rather than focusing on what things I think I need or want, especially by finding joy in the little things in life!

Shannon - My goal for 2010 is to hold a friend's hand while she kicks cancer's stinky butt!

Laura Kelley - BALANCE - Spiritual, emotional, physical, mental! There is always so much guilt when I put family before work, work before family, work and family before spiritual goals. Can't ever get it balanced. This year I strive to figure it out. I have taken positive steps for a year now by only booking 25 weddings in a year and no more. I'll let you know how it works!! But this balance will work so much better with a Kelly Bag! ha

Beth Morgan - Hi...my name is Beth, and I'm a work-a-holic (this should be my tag line and there should be a song that plays with it when I walk into a room). My goal is find lovely balance and leave my work ALONE every now and then...HOLLA!

annabella brandon - To focus on "me" shoots and get out of my box more. and to remember that my job does not define me. it is only a part of me

Sandra Lemin - My new Year goal is to be more productive and organized so I can spend more time with my family.

Tabitha Smith - My goal is to get a new Kelly Moore Camera bag- since my old blue Lowe-Pro Mini magnum camera bag works- but a) is not fashionable (Don't think it ever was!) and b) is now way too small.I don't usually make concrete resolutions other than to just have more fun and to keep being a kind person:)

Jim Shields - To continue to learn from other GREAT photographers to expand my photography knowledge and be a MUCH better listener. I talk too much.

Pat Paxton - I resolve to Thank God for all that 2010 brings my way, to not sweat the small stuff and to see the big obstacles as a ramp...I am going for it ! I am not allowing fear, procrastination, excuses, to keep me from reaching my goals; Spiritual Goals to Love My Jesus more, Physical Goals to love myself more, and Career Goals to Believe in MYSELF !

Haley - My goal for the new year is to, as a high school student/aspiring photographer, use my camera to capture all of the beautiful, amazing moments God places in my life. Also to fully live in those same moments.

Kathy - The goal that I want in my life for 2010 is simple...just to enjoy! Enjoy my family, friends, my life. The older I get, I realize this more.

God has blessed me so much and I want to enjoy His blessings!!

Cody Durrett - My goal for next year is to learn to speak Italian, I want to walk up to my Grandmother and say a whole PARAGRAPH asking her things..... and have her just look at me and smile! (maybe a tear or two) hehe

Kerri - I am going to try to be nicer to my mother-in-law that drives me bonkers every single day no matter what she says or does and as hard as I know it will be. I love my husband and I have to do this for him/us.

Leslie Rule - Mine is work on myself. Being happy,complete and healthy.

Stephanie Ellison - I have so many goals so I will narrow it down to 4. The first is I want to be a better mom and wife...we could all get better in those areas! The second is to spend more time with my journal and the peace and quiet God gives me... in doing this I hope to be an even better photographer because of allowing myself more time to be creative in my thoughts. I also have a plan to be healthier through working out to Jillian Michaels and the good old treadmill! I think this will help with energy for photography! I also want to finish my Masters with at least a 3.5 GPA! I think all of these things are possible!

Paula Player - My goal for 2010 is to prioritize my family before my business. I recently realized how much time I spend behind the computer neglecting my family. They must come first in order to have a great relationship with them.

Krystle Akin - Half way to 50 so I'm starting my kick the bucket list! Why not as it will take a long time to complete, this year I hope mark a few off with 1 learning the bass guitar.

stephanie sitzes - my 2010 resolution is wrapped up in this quote, "be brave enough to live creatively. you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition" --- alan alda.

Lori Cooper - I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl Dec. 3rd and then had to go back into the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Edema for a week. Being away from my baby and husband was terrible and it taught me that no one is promised tomorrow and to cherish every single gift God has given you. Since then, my family, friends, and church family have taken care of my little family so well that in 2010 I aspire to make sure I give back to those in need and use my gifts God has blessed me with to help others and show God's love.

Drea - To value my work more... and not cheapen my value because im scared ill look clients based on what others charge in the area...

Kelly Braman - My goad for 2010 is B.A.L.A.N.C.E !! This includes all aspects in my life::personally and professionally...wish me luck, friends!

Melanie - Well, as of yesterday I've decided to sell my new 4Runner because I'm tired of living in debt, of being a slave to my finances. I'm on a mission to run my photography business DEBT-FREE! I may cry at the thought of driving a sedan (lol) but I will live! ;-) This (former)SUV chick and her business is turning a new leaf!! =) -Mel

Wendy Coleman - My goal is to learn to keep my BIG yapper shut when I should! LOL.

Taryn D - Organize and Simplify my life. Cut out the drama and declutter, putting the focus back on the important things. (Taryn Davidson)

tara ann - One of my resolutions this upcoming year is to spend MORE time with the CLARKS!!

Patrice - Let's start with the big B word...BALANCE. My goodness this is one this I have got to figure out this thing this year. My goal is to kick it up a notch in m business while still finding time to be a good mother, wife and home maker. And how could I forget, find the time to drop some major pounds in the process ; ). Ohhh...I almost for got one really important one, make it to my 5th stem cell birthday and still be in remission.

Tasha - I have never made a resolution ever and I don't really intend to make one per se. I have been thinking a lot over the past few months and I have decided that it is high time I started to love me for me. I have struggled with low self esteem for as long as I can remember. I look in the mirror and just criticize and pick myself apart. Not once do I look and say "Wow, you look pretty today". I have a husband that loves me dearly, unconditionally and tells me all the time that I am beautiful but I need to believe that. If I can't love me, than how can I expect anyone else to? I also have two daughters and this is the one thing that I DO NOT want them to have to deal with. I'm sure as they get older, issues with appearance and such will come up but I am determined to help them see that they are beautiful no matter what. I want them to have positive thoughts about themselves and not have those negative things always looming in the back of their mind.

evelyn eslava - my goal is buying my web site, finally i have save these last 2 yrs. is a very special feeling! & Helping in ASPCA (the American society for animals)

Rachel Allen - My first baby is due early March 2010, so this will indeed be a brand new year for me. My whole life is going to be different now, and my New Years resolution is to be the best mom that I can be. =)

Lori H - I'm going to slow down and actually let things inspire me. I'm a creature of needing to search for inspiration for my photography and I'm ready to let it find me. ;)

Courtney - This year I am planning on launching a little clothing company that will help kids in need. It's a side project that I really want to do, and I think that this cause is a major motivation for me to do so.

evelyn - my goal is buying my web site finally i have save all I can to get it, is a very special feeling! & help/subscribe in ASPCA. (:

Lindsay Moore - My goal for 2010 is to be the best wife, mother, friend and photographer that I can be. I get so caught up in the daily struggles of all that's required out of me, that I lose focus on what God wants out of me. I want to keep my priorities in order, always putting God first, family second and everything else behind it. God has big plans for us all...I can't wait to see what 2010 brings! Sorry for more than 2 sentences! =)

Julie Martin - My New Year's resolution (ok...ONE of them) is to be that COOL Mom...ya know..the one that does all of the cool crafts with the neighborhood kids...the one that comes up with the most interesting birthday party idea...you know THOSE moms. I wanna be one of them. :)

Bekah - My goal for the year 2010 is to dream BIG! In everything I do, I want it to be the best! I want to give my everything in life and never settle. I want to serve others as if I am serving Christ!

amanda - my goal for 2010 is to learn patience. God has His own plan for everything and i know that everything will fall into place when it is time for it to. my husband and i have been trying to conceive for over a year now and have been unsuccessful. i went for my first infertility appointment at the beginning of december and was diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia with a prolactinoma on the 16th. i have had many medical issues to date and we finally found that the high prolactin levels are the cause. on this discovery, i realized that we were not conceiving not only because i am less fertile with this (treatable) illness, but that had i conceived, my unborn child would have been in danger. God was waiting for me to get better before he blesses us with children. i began treatment the very same day i was diagnosed and we will be practicing our patience as i get better in the next few months. i am now reminded that things our never in our hands and that i need to rely on Him more.

jen s. - kelly- it DID have something to do with you- you speak your truth, even when you are struggling & i am forever grateful for stumbling across your blog three years ago.

melissapepin - This years resolution is different than anything I have resoluted (??? can I make that word up please, thanks. :) ) before. This year My resolution is to spend more time with my family and to give away more. Gods been WAY too good to us this year to keep it all to ourselves. My plan is reach out...WAY out...to those who are hurting and in need of love and GIVE IT. With no reservations. Love is the movement....and Im ready to move!

Madison L. - Goal: To learn to sing or find out if there is talent in my voice! But here's the thing, I rarely sing in front of people and if I do it's jokingly. I don't even sing in church because I don't want to be the bad singer everyone hears through the crowd! I mean every one sings in their car but how many truly cannot wait to drive just to sing at the top of their lungs? (if you do then make this your resolution!) I'm trying to pray and figure out if there is meaning in this because I really really love to sing. But this year my goal is to stomp on the nervous self-conscious feelings, belt it out and find out if I really have a voice! Forgive me for more that 2 sentences! :)

Amanda Key - My goal is to "stop and smell the roses." Life gets too busy, too hectic that I never stop to enjoy the here and now. Amanda Key amanda@amandakey.com

Make enough money through the photography business, or do a blog fund raiser, to be able to pay for another kid's college education and officially start a scholarship fund.

Emily - My goals for the new year are to cook more, start running again, and be more supportive of my husband when his family does crazy junk and not automatically get mad when they act crazy.

Connye Hiracheta - Before I saw this contest on Brandi's facebook I told myself I was going to get over myself and by that I mean I want to be confident in front of the camera as I am behind it. I look at Kelly, Lauren, Millie, Davina and Brandi and each has such confidence and ease in front of the camera. I want that so bad...I never want to take pictures of myself because all I can see is what is wrong with me, my poor daughter will not have very many pictures of me because of this. I am determined to be like my photography mentors and just be the me that I feel inside.

erin benesh - i'll resolve to get exercise every day but break it two weeks in. i'll resolve to not buy that pair of fabulous red heels that i don't need but buy them anyway. i'll resolve not to drink too much wine or eat too much chocolate, but who am i kidding? what i will do, is i'll live in the now, i'll not regret the past, and i'll continue to make mistakes in the future. after a tough 2009, i've learned life is way too short not to enjoy it! welcome, 2010! eringarrisondesign (at) gmail (dot) com

Jenna - My goal is to make a difference now to make change for the future. I want to be active and to be a role model for my fifth graders. I want to have a stronger voice.

Keary Dee - My goal for the new year is to learn how to be a selfless, loving, and devoted wife (with my wedding only 38 days away), and to let go of all my wants and desires and let God's hand work beautifully in my life. His plans for me are so much bigger than I could ever dream of.

Lindsay Weidenhammer - My goal is to be supportive of my finance when we goes on deployment for six months later this year. I'm so proud of him!

Meggie - OK OK OK.....I withdraw my comment and change my goal in support for Jen S. and her husband. I pray that they're rewarded for their decisions and childlike faith. HERE'S TO LIFTING THE FOG!!!!!

Tonya Peterson - My main goals for 2010 is to network like crazy and to help as many photographers as I can. I love shooting pictures but my true love and passion is helping other photographers learn and grow!

Brooke - My number one goal is to be "consistent". Consistent with my health, religion, family life balance :)

Jen Kniivila - Jen Kniivila visual.poetry@yahoo.com - my new years resolution is to get comfortable in my own shoes. i have big goals in finding myself (again), branding myself like a mad woman and living my dream (reaping the benefits).

Kelly - Jen- Let me pick myself up off the floor and stop crying! I think this is the best comment I've ever received! First let me say, that reading what you wrote encourages me to get out of the fog again :) Second...Praise God for being so good. I realize this has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with God having a plan that is bigger than myself. I always struggle with what I should share on my blog, and this confirms that It wasn't a mistake :) Thank you so much for sharing. Let me know how your move goes!

jen s. - i have followed your blog for years & when i saw your self portrait video (of you in your hotel room) the first time you posted, it touched me- but i ignored it... then you reposted it last winter & I couldn't ignore it. i felt like there had to be a reason i was seeing it a second time (and the message about God lifting the fog in your life really hit me). the instant my husband got home from work, we talked about how we could change our *seemingly miserable* lives... the next day we put in our notices at work. in the weeks following, we sold everything we owned (minus cameras, computers, and guitars), moved into my parents basement, and lived without for a year. in 2010 we are moving south with whatever we can fit into our car, to live our dream. thank you kelly for being an inspiration!

Kristin - My 2010 Ambition: Take a road trip to a Rock concert, go backstage and meet the band, photograph EVERY moment, and use the photos to make my very own ROCKumentary! The adventure begins January 1st!

Amanda Rose - - To bloom into the creative young artist my Daddy would have liked to have seen me become. With a tough year behind me my goal is to see the true beauty not only through my lens but within myself as well.

Whitney - My new years goal is to recover completely from my second open heart surgery and get back to doing what I love, taking pictures and back to enjoying life and all the beauties it brings. It sounds cheesy but events can change your life and perception!

Lacy - My Resolution: To be the best wife a woman can be! I'm getting married in April 2010 to the love of my life. My parents divorced when I was 16 and they never showed that they were "in love" when I was growing up. I want the whole world to know how thankful I am for my spouse and to not take him for granted :)

Ashley Schoenfeld - You know that drawer, cabinet and closet of wonders...they'll be gone! I'm going to rid my life of useless clutter!

Allison - Fully, undeniably, irrevocably learn exposure. And then consistently nail it when it counts!

Janet - My goal for the new year is to NOT HAVE ANY GOALS!! It sounds crazy, but letting go of perfectionism will give me the freedom to fail (and hopefully succeed some, too).

Sarah - I recently took a HUGE leap and quit my job to go to school full time. I also changed my major from Pharmacy to Photography so my New Years resolution is to now put my whole heart and soul into being the best student I can be so some day I can be the kind of photographer I'd like to be!

October Smith - My main goal is to get both of my new ventures off the ground (photography and handmade sterling jewelry) and making enough supplemental money that I can quit my day job and homeschool my 2 beautiful girls. Wish me luck! :D

Tiffany Anderson - My goal for 2010 is to create images for myself not always for my clients.

Johanna - Isn't it always to lose weight, find joy, grow as an individual, and grow with God? :) I'm aiming to journal thankfulness everyday in the hopes that I can become more grateful, less pessimistic, ditch the complaining, and able to give more graciously!

rachael - my goal for the new year is to stop wishing i was any other type of photographer and just be me! and to be different, not better.

faith - Find all pairs of shoes that I own, find all pairs of earrings that I own, and if I find all that play the lottery.

Angela - My goal for the new year is to be more positive, which should be easy since my sweet husband is coming back from Iraq in March!

Rebecca - My goal is to do something creative with my personal pictures...just the day-to-day point-and-shoot images/videos. I am going to try and teach myself Final Cut and hopefully have something fun and new by next Christmas!

Cheryl - I would like to drop some major pounds, like everyone else. :) But really I would like to wake up everyday excited and joyful about what God could do in my life or through my life. I have seemed to become numb to the hugeness of God and I would like to re-experience it in a BIG way.

emily - My goals for the new year are to lose weight, be happy, stop complaining so much, and work on my business :)

abby g. - My hubby graduated from LSU this morning and I was carrying around my ugly camera bag. I kept thinking how much better (and cooler) I would look if I was carrying around one of your bags:)))

john pascale - I don't know if i'm secure enough in myself to wear pink, but am for sure interested. every time i go to a camera shop i look and look and have always settled for something that just isn't right. I can't wait to see it!

Kelly - I love it myself. I'm even considering making one of the men's bags in pink. I would totally carry it!
