I am a firm believer in putting my hopes and dreams out there for the world to see- the last few times I’ve done so, it’s resulted in people coming alongside me to help me see those goals become a reality! So in the spirit of dreaming and dreaming BIG, I’m putting it all out there for you guys to see. It’s a bit of a risk, because some of these dreams are pretty audacious and if I never achieve them, you all will know that I’ve failed. But since I’m not defined by my successes or failures, let’s begin!
One day I’d love to photograph a wedding in….
— Paris
— Santorini, Greece
— London (we’re doing an engagement session in London in June- that’s pretty darn close!)
— Tuscany
— Ireland
— Germany
— Switzerland
— China
— Turkey
— Australia’s Gold Coast
— California’s wine country
I’d love to shoot an elopement…
— at a carnival/state fair
— in New York City
— in an Italian villa
— at a malt shoppe
It’s on my bucket list to…
— photograph a professional ballerina
— host a workshop
— have Matt as my exclusive second shooter and business partner
— learn to shoot editorial portraiture (watching Joey L on CreativeLive was so inspiring!)
— photograph a bride in a colored dress (how about pink?)
— shoot a wedding coordinated by Rhi of Hey Gorgeous Events
— build a custom home with my very own dark room and secret passage
— attend one of Kenny Kim‘s Photoventure Italy tours
— donate my time to the A21 Campaign
Are some of these a little ridiculous? Yeah, but that’s why we call them “dreams” :). What about you guys? What’s one thing you HAVE to do, one thing that lights a fire in you and pushes you to keep reaching?
^ This wedding is hitting the blog tomorrow! GET EXCITED!
Happy Wednesday!

If you want to photograph a professional ballerina you could always try contacting an art or dance academy and see if any of their instructors would be interested in posing for you. Just an idea!
I love your list – big dream and goals push you to succeed in ways you never knew you could 🙂
I LOVE your big dreams!! I would love to shoot a wedding in Switzerland, hands-down. My mom’s best friend is Swiss and she has 3 beautiful daughters – I hope to shoot ALL of their weddings!!! 🙂
I also dream of having my work featured in a magazine, teaching a workshop, and having a session of me and Matt done by Jose Villa 🙂
I love posts like this!! Shooting a wedding in the south of France is at the top of my list right now. As is getting the business to a point where Ben and I can work together full time! Can. not. WAIT to see what this year holds for you!!
I LOVE BHAGS! And you’ll rock the socks off of all those dreams girl 🙂 “You must not be afraid to dream a little bigger darling” (my favorite line from the movie Inception)
I’ll take dibs on your NYC dream!
Love that you want to work with A21
I smiled the whole way through this post 🙂 I honestly don’t think these dreams are not too far out of reach for you…you are so incredibly talented- I would not be the least bit surprised if you accomplished them all! Thanks for dreaming and sharing 🙂 You’ve inspired me to do the same!
If you are going to dream, might as well dream BIG! You go girl! Beautiful picture!
I loved reading this 🙂
I would love to be a photojournalist for a travel magazine, like Islands! That would be my dream 🙂
[…] So that brought me to dreaming of where else I’d like love to shoot weddings. And as my friend Abby said on her blog the other day when she had a similar post, it never hurts to put dreams out there because you never […]
I would love to shoot an Indian Wedding 🙂 But shooting a wedding in Santorini would be swell too!
Love that you are putting your dreams out there!
