This year is going to be EPIC and I am speaking success, life, energy, and amazing photos over all of you for this year! When we make a plan and give it a date, our goals start to manifest and happen. So, I would love to have you all decide what you want to learn FIRST this year, when you will learn it, and what your plan is to master it! Example: "I am going to finally master speedlites by February 25th, and I am going to watch the Indoor Lighting Made Easy and Core Lessons on speedlites, do 4 practice shoots, post them here for feedback and finally use them with confidence on my shoots!" Here is my personal goals this year.... I have STRUGGLED since 2023 with my work being regular and income being varied, so for 2026, I am going to focus my energy into three things. 1. Creating GREAT value and content for you all (and knowing that SOME of you will want Advanced Training Options), 2. Growing my photography brand back up to where it should be. 3. Growing my Marketing Consulting for brands that want to clarify their message (photographers, creatives, real estate agents, professionals and many others I can help)! I will launch my Advanced Training Options websites in the next 30 days, I have already locked in my first big photo client for 2026, and I am building my marketing consulting strategy starting tomorrow!

I am using three Godox AD200 speedlights and love how mobile they are without wires and tripping hazards. The AD200's fits any Bowens mount and I make use of soft boxes and strip boxes when shooting indoors and 40"Beauty Dishes when shooting outdoors. My lights are left and right 45 Deg and high up so that there are little to no shadows on the background and the 3rd is on the background or on the hair of the model and I like to use a gel on the 3rd. What works for you?
