This journey called my life.

Posted November 17th, 2011 in My life by Gina Ayanna

Goals are such a huge part of evolving and growing.  As the year is coming to a close, I am looking at the things I have accomplished and at what is next for me.  Here is what  my list of goals look like so far and I will share it again in six months, which forces me to be accountable for whats on the list.

 To do List:

Get family portraits done

Need a vacation. Places I’d like to visit, Barbados, St. Lucia, Hawaii, Greece, Australia and the list goes on

Read one book per month for a year,each month challenging myself to try something I would not normally read

Go on a road trip

Visit Vancouver

Shoot my first wedding

Take a picture everyday for one year as a part of a series and blog it

Show my love and appreciation for the people in my life everyday

Launch a new rebranded website in 2012

Make a promotional video to go on said website

Fill my iphone with positive affirmations, (reminding myself to love myself is huge for me)

Send the proceeds of one full wedding commission to charity water

Visit and do a photography series on Japan

Get over my fear of driving and just do it

Have another baby

Be more mindful of what I put in my body

Exercise at least 3 times a week and try to get it up to five

Play squash and tennis once a week

Tell my daughter that I love her and how much she matters everyday

Enter a photography competition

Get my work published in a magazine

Help to inspire and mentor others

Paint at least 2 paintings this year

Do a styled photo shoot

Go to a Vipasana retreat even though it kinda scares me

Own a summer home by the beach

Learn to be more still

Create a cool project, just for Nyla and I

Go away for a romantic getaway, just the two of us

Blog honestly like nobody’s watching or cares

Stop and savour the sunshine

Host a few dinner parties

Celebrate today

 

Celebrating life and love,

So the shoot is done but for me that means the work is just beginning.  Here is a screen shot from a recent styled shoot that I am currently editing.   Also I thought I would include a couple of the tunes that I’m bobbing to as I do what I do.

This session took place on a cold October afternoon, but you could never tell because of the warmth and love that these two share.  Charles and Yolanda truly compliment each other; he is the serious, strong, slient type and she is outgoing, spunky and incredibly warm.  Together they are the perfect combination.

It was an honour to document their one year anniversary and to help capture their love with my lens.  This session was truly a wonderful experience as Yolanda had lots of ideas during our consultation and I am so happy we were able to bring them to life.

Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness.

Celebrating life and love,

Gina Ayanna
