Tori: I'm working on photography (got a camera for Xmas) in 2010 and you're working on fitness so check out my fitness blog while I check out your photog blog! My first post of the year with advice is on fitness and food journaling....so start your journal!! FIToriBLOG.com
1.5.10, 6:39PM Denyse Clark: One of my clients brought their little boy in the EXACT SAME HAT a few weeks ago, lol.

1.5.10, 8:08AM apis: love da baby pic..hahahah
is it using TRA action also?
1.5.10, 2:02AM stephanie: monika and nicholas??
I heard you stayed in LIC (I live here it's a great neighborhood, I hope you got to check it out)
1.4.10, 8:34PM Erik Hornung: This year, rather than giving myself new years resolutions, I am giving myself one challenge per month. For example, this month is "buy nothing month" - so no buying materialistic and unnecessary things for my home. Next month is vegetarian month, and the next is no tv month, and so on.
1.4.10, 7:04PM Mindy: Okay...I looked through only 7 pages of married couples and I chooose Chris and Sheenah as the parents of this little munchkin.
1.4.10, 6:12PM lori: mine.. separate work and home. As my new biz has taken off, I find it hard to juggle being a mom and a photographer at the same time. Cheers to better time managment and organization! wish me luck. =)
1.4.10, 3:05PM Cathy Empey: Happy New Year to you, and yours.
1.4.10, 2:21PM Heather: My resolution this year is to photograph my children every day. Hopefully they will sit still long enough!
1.4.10, 2:09PM Pooja: Thanks for sharing your previous 101 in 1001 --- it's a great idea and I'm excited to start it this year as well. Thanks for the inspiration and for the ALWAYS inspiring imagaes.
1.4.10, 12:36PM Tammy Mellish: I immediatly thought of Monica and Nicholas too.. loved their flirty (or downright sexy!) NYC shoot! 1.4.10, 9:59AM
Melissa: 1. get fit (it seems we share that one!)
2. implement a personal financial plan for 2010 and beyond
3. aggressively grow my photography business. This one will be the hardest since I'm starting from the scratchiest of scratches. Top of my list is saving up for the 85 1.8 (see #2) and building a brand/website. A little lofty, but I like to aim high. :)
For your #5, I suggest: Travel someplace awesome and new (you want a snowy photoshoot? Come to Toronto!!), learn a new language, or volunteer with an association that you're passionate about (ASPCA if you love animals, an after-school reading programme or a hospital if you love the kiddos, an environmental group if you're green etc).
1.4.10, 8:46AM seth goodman : Those are good goals. For me #5 would be to take time for myself. It's hard to do with a wife, kids, and two jobs.
1.4.10, 8:44AM Aleksandra: These are great resolutions:)
Your blog is amazing:)
1.4.10, 4:47AM Heather Disarro: I really like your #4 resolution...such an awesome thing to do something sweet for the one you love!
1.3.10, 11:12PM Theresa: I pick Monika and Nikolas even though they live on the west coast 1.3.10, 10:45PM
Patricia Mingus: This may not make any sense...but one of my resolutions is to change my way of looking at my business.....instead of asking "Why?" why not ask, "Why Not?" Love your blog....always looking for inspiriation. It is always so great time find someone so nice.....Thanks again! Hope I wasn't too confusing...LOL
1.3.10, 3:04PM Jen Shannon: Oh yes.... Get fit. That's on my list every year. I started early this year. I'm using LIVESTRONG and C25K on my iPhone. LOVE IT! I can't wait to see what you do in 2010!
1.3.10, 11:43AM Jo: #5 - Blog more often with lots more photos. Your readers get very lonely when you don't blog almost every day!! 1.3.10, 7:35AM
Ray: "Do a nice thing for JEFF every day. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but this year I'd like to try do to something good for him every day. " That's a good one! And I have a couple of New Year's Resolutions but my main ones are: #1) To get my Driver's Permit and following after that #1a) to get my Driver's License (since I'm 22 and have neither). #2) That would have to be getting an apartment by the end of the year. We'll see though.
Cute photo of the baby by the way. ^o^
1.3.10, 12:01AM heather: Lose weight is one 2009 goal but that is everyones:) I am going to do 101 in 1001 days as well. Great idea to accomplish some goals.
1.2.10, 6:24PM Kellee: I am so looking forward to your 101 in 1001 update. You actually inspired me to do once too. I'm 16 months in & loving the way it has completely changed my life. Such purpose :)
1.2.10, 4:44PM Alexandra: Loving that you're feeling so refreshed for 2010 :):) Can't wait to see what Jessica Claire has in store :) Keep up the fantastic work, you are such an inspiration!
1.2.10, 4:40PM Cindy: I never do resolutions, but this year I have a TON! They include: doubling my income, upgrade my camera body by mid year, rebuild my savings account, finalize all marketing materials, and...the one I loathe already...lose 20 pounds. :)
1.2.10, 3:30PM Sarah: Is it Monika & Nicholas' little one?
1.2.10, 3:02PM s h e r r y: Thanks for sharing your resolutions. One of mine is to be more organized and declutter. If I spend a little bit of time putting stuff away, then I won't have to spend a LOT of time completely reorganizing my room/desk. :)
1.2.10, 2:17PM Lisa: Although I certainly encourage the creation of a more positive life-outlook, (and am working on that for myself!) I would like to mention that one of the reasons I read your blog is because I enjoy that aspect of your writing personality that's more skeptical and seems to be much more appreciative of life's many ironies :-) You come across as a real human being on your blog, whereas a great many other bloggers come across as unidimensional positivity addicts who choose only to deal in bland, platitudinal niceties. Booooooooring.....!!!! Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there! Happy New Year!!!!
1.2.10, 1:10PM Melissa @ Whooo's That Girl: I love your resolutions! I can relate. Fitness is at the top of my list also, I've formed a team and we are going to do a 1/2 marathon in San Diego June 6th. We are joining up with Team in Training to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Get fit AND raise money to fight cancer, what's better than that?? Want to join us? :)
1.2.10, 1:08PM margaret : I think it's baby Nixon!
1.2.10, 12:35PM kaylie: How about this for #5...Smile at at least one stranger a day. You may not feel like smiling, but you would be surprised what kind effect it can have!
1.2.10, 11:58AM Jenifer Simpson: That baby has to be Teresa and Preston's...they were married in Cabo 2004.....you did some amazing day after pics for them
1.2.10, 11:39AM Teresa: EEEEEEEEEEEKK!!
: ) : ) : )
1.2.10, 11:32AM Marcela Martins: To take some time everyday to relax. Just be peaceful, free your time, pray or whatever you can do to calm down. I've been trying to do this, but it is really hard. Happy new year and success in your goals!
1.2.10, 11:29AM jenberry: oh man i know the baby is from a 2004 bride. do i get 'little' points
1.2.10, 11:26AM Miranda: BTW, I am jealous! I think you should make a trip to WI...it's only -15 today ;) We would love to have you in our neighborhood to shoot our family!
Happy New Year 1.2.10, 11:24AM
Miranda: Teresa and Preston of course :) ;)
1.2.10, 11:22AM
Heather James: Such great goals for 2010! I've got a few really special goals that I'm hoping to achieve listed on my blog as well, maybe one will be great for your #5 goal this year!
1.2.10, 11:21AM Cary: I love the idea of doing something nice for the hubby every day! I think I may steal that resolution for myself too :-).
