Today is Dec. 31, 2019—the last day of the year and the last day of the decade. Wow! It’s been six years since I started Storyteller Photography: Images by Rebecca. During that time, I’ve learned a lot and grown a lot as an artist and businesswoman and connected with a lot of wonderful people along the way. As I sit at my desk writing this blog I feel ready for 2020. I am ready for continued growth and new opportunities. I am ready to gather all the hard-earned wisdom from the past decade and step into the ‘20s with a renewed commitment to achieving my goals and living my best life.
One of my goals for 2020 is to publish a book of photos and poetry / inspirational reflections. I am working on this book now and hope to have it completed by March. Stay tuned!
Another goal I have is to gain a wider following of Facebook fans on my business page https://www.facebook.com/StorytellerPhotographyImagesbyRebecca/. I am known in my little corner of the world for my landscape images, but I’d like to expand my fan base far beyond Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. So if you are reading this and you are living somewhere else on this great big planet, please, please share this blog and suggest my Facebook business page to your friends! I currently have about 3,100 likes on my Facebook business page, and I’d love to see a significant growth in that number by 2021.
Another one of my new year’s resolutions is to continue to perfect my craft and grow as an artist. Whether it’s learning to use new equipment, or experimenting with new lighting, or finding continued ways to combine my love of writing and imagery, I am committed to being the best I can be and to inspiring people with what I do. When I look back at images I produced a couple of years ago and cringe, I actually consider this to be a good thing! It means I am growing! It means my vision continues to sharpen and I continue to push myself! I work tirelessly when it comes to self-improvement and achieving my goals, and if I can sit back at the end of the year and say I learned something or improved somehow, then I feel satisfied.
I have other new year’s resolutions, but I am going to keep this blog short and sweet and end it by sharing some of my favorite landscape images from 2019. A big thanks to everyone who follows me on social media and appreciates my art and to everyone who purchased prints or portrait sessions or wedding packages in the past year. You helped me provide for my family and helped me create the life I aspire to live. Thank you! I wish you a prosperous and blessed new year!
And now for some landscape images from 2019:
