2017 Goals

Is it really that time of year again??.. Apparently so!
Seriously, where do the bloody years go [insert shocked emoji].

So let's talk about our goals for 2017, I would love to read yours in the comment section.

A lot of things have changed over the course of this year, so I wanted to use last years goals to see how far we've come!

  • Post more consistently on my youtube channel & blog.
  • Start a gaming youtube channel.
  • Build up my photography & studio more.
  • Be more creative/ artistic with photo shoots.
  • Sort out my allergy & get healthier.
  • Do more exercise & yoga.
  • Save up to move out.

So they're a few things that I didn't quite achieve in my opinion, but for the most part I think it has been a very successful year! Another thing that happened this year, is we hit 1000 subscribers on Youtube, which was amazing!
So before I go onto my goals for 2017 I want to thank you all for your continued support with everything!
You're all amazing!

So the goals...

- Continue to grow my businesses (studio, photography etc).
- Enter a fitness competition.
- Move house.
- Do some travelling.
- Photograph more - various projects/ jobs.
- Stay Healthy

So I hope you guys have had an amazing 2016, I'll see you next year!
Stay safe & Happy New Year!

A Note to Bloggers...

If you have even an interest in blogging you'll know that it's massive right now.
If you blog, just for yourself, go you! I think that's great.

I personally blog, because firstly I love doing it! I find it very therapeutic sometimes.
I also do it because all of my friends ask my opinion on products, so I figure this is an easier way of telling them, instead of having to re-tell the say thing to different people.

I also love reading other people's blogs too. However I don't always feel like this is mutual with some bloggers. I'm not focusing on any in particular here, just to clarify!

Some might say this is a 'rant' or 'bashing' style blog post, it's really not intended that way. I just want to highlight new/ growing bloggers of a few things.


1. Blogging is easy work.
WRONG! If you really want to have a good looking & interesting blog you will need to work bloody hard at it! It's all about looking professional. The blogging 'community' is very competitive at the moment, which can be intimidating but don't let that stop you. Just put some of those old Myspace HTML skills back into act.

2. You must be a photographer.
This one isn't true, but I'm sure many of you are starting out feel like it is. All blogging is really, is great practice for photography. Enjoy it, learn from it. Jump out of your comfort zone & try using M mode.Trust me, it's life changing!

3. It's all about views & making dollar.
If that's why you're blogging, you're definitely in it for the WRONG reason my friend! It's not a 'get rich fast' scheme that's for sure. You have to promote, promote, promote. As well as post, post, post! It's a long old saturated road.

4. It's all about success & the numbers!
I hope you guys are getting the sarcasm by now, haha. Seriously though guys, blog because you enjoy it & are passionate about the subject topic. Don't look too much at the numbers, especially early on.
Also if you have a blog please leave me a link in the comments!

Tips for making business cards

No matter what business you own/ run you need business cards.
They are an essential for networking.

So here are some tips when it comes to making business cards:

1. Shop around for the best deal.
You generally need to buy in bulk with business cards so shop around to see what printing sites are offering the best deal & value for money. Vistaprint is usually pretty good value, they also offer a lot of different design ideas (front & back printing etc).

2. Choose your quantity wisely.
Don't over order because you may not find yourself giving cards out every other minute. Also if you'd like to change the design or info it's a waste to throw out hundreds of old cards.

3. Choose your design wisely.
A lot of sites have preset designs which can work perfectly or you can opt to have something more personal & unique to your business on them. Choose whatever best represents you & your business.

4. Make sure you spell check.
Before placing you're order definitely proof read, even if it's just an email & phone number.

5. Make sure you're not planning on changing any info.
If you're planning on changing your website url or phone number, hold off on your cards until you do so. There's nothing worse than wrong information on business cards, it can actually lose you work!

Behind The Scenes

As you guys probably know by now I am a professional photographer running my own photography business under the name Eve Bickley Photography.

So I thought I'd film a short vlog (of what I could) of what I do as part of my job.

This was an editorial shoot using a waterfall shower.

I have also attached some of the final images at the end of the video, so watch until the end to see the results.

New Years Thoughts!

So I'm not going with the whole new year, new me thing.
It's more new year, better me!

So I thought I'd write out some new year resolutions with you guys.
Please comment below with yours, I'd love to read them!

I feel like I'm in a pretty good place with life at the moment, however there is always room for progression!

  • I want to progress further with my photography business, aiming to book more weddings, family and model/ makeover shoots.
  • I want to grow my youtube channel, by adding more and better content for you guys!
  • I really need to get back into working out and being fit & healthy.
  • Save more money, possibly for a car or my own place.
  • Get more videography bookings and improve my video skills.

So basically it's mostly work related goals, but I love my job and it's my life :)
The main goal is to love what you do, and I intend to stick to that!

I hope you all have a great New Years Eve & New Year!
I will be capturing all those loving drunken moments tonight at my two club residencies ;)
