Everyone we know is creating new goals for the new year, and I’m doing the same. I have a few goals I want to make for myself and my blog and I’m hoping I can stick to them.
Write More
I have a 1-post-a-week goal set for myself and I am planning on sticking to that. I currently have enough post ideas to last me half the year so I think I will be able to achieve this goal and I’m really excited about it!
Take a Long Exposure Photo
I have a lot of photography goals for myself this year that will help both my career and myself. I have always loved long exposure photos and I have always wanted to be able to take one. I am starting to get everything that I would need to take one successfully. We own a tripod now and I recently bought a new camera, and soon a new lens. Not saying I really needed a new camera but I will be able to see what I’m shooting and see where I need to make improvements.
Take More Photos

I just want to take more photos in general. I’ve been getting a lot better at editing because of a lot of practice. But now I just need the practice in actually taking more photos. I want to make it a point to bring my camera with me wherever I go.
Take More Photos With Mike

Believe it or not we do not have a lot of pictures together other than PhotoPass photos from the past couple of years which isn’t a lot. And I just declared this above photo our signature photo the other day. A long time ago Mike was giving me a piggy back ride through the parking lot of our University and I loved the photo that one of our friends took. That was like 10 years ago. It took me until this year to realize I always love how they turn out so I decided that’s our thing and it will happen all the time now!
Have More Pictures of Myself

I know this sounds like a weird goal, but I am hella awkward in front of the camera like most people. I want to be able to share more and be better at sharing. So look at for more of my face over at my instagram (@jessamack_).
Basically the theme of this year is just take more photos lol.
Vlog More
As most of you know, Mike and I started vlogging this year. It’s been fun so far, but we just don’t do it a lot. We both agreed that we want to vlog more so that’s a joint goal of ours. Instead of just vlogging when we have something to do, we’re going to just start taking our camera with us and just recording what we are doing… as long as it’s somewhat interesting lol.
So that’s about it for this year, I wanted to keep this post short and sweet. If you enjoy reading my posts, thanks so much! I just got started last year and it’s been fun so far. You can follow my blog so you never miss a post and you can subscribe to our YouTube channel here! Make sure you subscribe because I don’t always write about our new vlogs on here and I wouldn’t want you to miss anything fun!
Here’s to the new year and achieving our goals!
