On New Years day, like most people, I sat down and wrote out a goals list for 2018. It had the usual (and never accomplished) exercise goals and the “I’m gonna eat healthier” stuff we all fail at during week two. Mine also had items for my photography. I had ever written down goals for my art and decided I was never going to advance unless I did.

A few of my goals included, being published in a fashion magazine, shooting more fashion work, networking, putting myself out there more and also to submit to Pattern, a magazine based here in Indianapolis.

Slight back story, last year I had a model, Mahogani (@iammahoganij on Instagram. You should totally check her out there!) contact me on Instagram and she wanted to do a shoot. We met for our first shoot had a great time and got some great photos! (It was also super cold that day.) A few months later she contacted me again and we wanted to do another shoot.

The shoot went great and we got some awesome shots again! This time, they were going to be submitted. A few weeks later I was told they would be published in the March 2018 Issue of Ellements magazine! A fashion magazine based in New York! (http://www.ellementsmagazine.com)

It was so exciting. It was only February and I had checked off one of my goals!

Onto the next goals on my list!
