Are You Keeping Up?

I'm sad to admit that I've fallen behind in this month's challenge. What about you? Are you keeping up? 

I know that at least a few of you have emailed me to say you're working on it, but a bit behind. With each new email, I send a sincere reply saying that's it's okay and to give yourself permission to get it done as you can. I've decided to give myself the same grace since I've been traveling on business.

For the last week, we've been in Vegas for Skip's Summer School, a photography conference with 15 of the most amazing speakers. We were honored to be included on the list. My new friend, Scott Bourne, described the conference this way: "Essentially, if you make money at photography or ever HOPE to make money at photography, you would have loved being at this conference."

It was a time of encouragement, rejuvenation, and inspiration for me. We showed the promo for Teen Identity and it was received with such enthusiasm and support. I'm excited to explore the next step in my journey as a photographer.

One specific area I'm committed to growing in is developing my skills as a photographer. Scott Bourne challenged me in this area with some specific strategies for improving my ability and I took him up on the challenge. I'll post about it in detail next week so you can join me if you're interested. 

In the meantime, I'll give you a preview…one of the challenges is to take a photo every day. Below is one of my favorite photos from today. I love the fun expression and pose we captured! What do you think?

Starting next week, I'll get back on track with the daily posts on the one month to live challenge. Until then, give yourself grace to get through each day.

    that’s such an awesome picture, as usual for you and her.
    I’m behind too on the 30 day. It’s so much to take in, I don’t feel like 24 hours is enough for most days, you know. But if you get back on teh wagon, I’ll get in the wagon with you! lol

    I’m getting back on the wagon… harder when I’m traveling and celebrating special events, but worth every minute! Thanks for being on the wagon with me. :-)

    Gorgeous photo of your daughter. And might I add, she is one beautiful young woman – just like her mom. I know too what you mean about traveling and falling off the wagon. I am catching up right now too.
    I am totally interested in the 30days challenge and Scott Bourne’s challenge. Starting on the 30′s challenge and I am super interested to see what Scott suggested.
    Thanks for all the honesty, inspiration, and encouragement you bring to the industry. Lead us on Tasra!
