20 in 2012: Third Quarter update.

Hi everyone, it’s been quite awhile since I talked about my 20 in 2012 project, so after all it is the “accountable project” and to do that I thought I would start posting up quarterly updates. I’ll admit both ideas came from Brit, but having them and actually completing them is such a great feeling to see and do in life, and I hope we both inspire you to try it yourself.  I’m actually kinda surprised at the amount of things I finished from the list because at first I wasn’t actively trying to do them, after I went back to the list I noticed I completed a few, and then decided to dive head first into this thing to get it done! For this quarter here’s what I’ve completed so far:

For business goals, I completed:

1. I’m so excited that we were able to finally launch in August and all of my old sites have now been combined. I’ll still be updating it with new content as it gets added but the goal has definitely been met!
3. I’m working on this one! The first Ikea trip was a good one, so we’ll be sharing the office updates as it gets done soon!
4. I’m also in the midst of working on this one too. The closet got sorted, cleaned, and everything for sale has been separated but I haven’t gotten to the sale part yet. So this one is half way there!
5. I definitely did this, teaming up with some friends of ours like Christine, and having Crystal at my side has definitely expanded on the types of designs we work on and have released since.
6. I started this, but then I stopped taking custom client work so we haven’t had a need for it since, but it definitely has been used so I would call this one done!
10. Yep, I caved. Bought an iPad. Actually…we bought 2 one for me and one for Crystal. Yes, I totally went with the white version obviously. :p

For lifestyle goals, I completed:

13. We’ve actively tried to take more time for ourselves, we’ve had a few adventures this year so far, like horse back riding, and visiting the local drive-in safari park, we’ll be doing more as the year finishes up and give more details for our next quarterly update.
18. We also did this and are still doing it, spending more time with family and friends has been a big deal for us this year.
20. This one took a different direction. Because I’m not equipped to do this (yet) I signed up to be a bg extra in a new Gerard Butler film entitled Olympus Has Fallen. I got to play several different background roles and was featured once on screen right next to Gerard, hopefully one or all of the scenes I was in makes the cut, we’ll see in 2013!  I would call this one done, it even made my personal bucket list.

I’d say overall for the third quarter I’m doing pretty good, and I’m hoping to at least get passed the halfway mark as the year closes out. I don’t think I can do monthly goals yet like Brit is currently doing, but I’ll keep updating with the quarterly ones until next year’s list goes up. Next year I’m not limiting myself to just twenty and I might see if Crystal wants to get included in one for both of us or do one herself too.

Did any of you start doing the same since the last one we put up? Hit me up with your link in the comments or start your list for next year soon, I’d love to see how your goals are doing!

20 in 2012: Fourth Quarter Update » La Lune Creative - [...] goals to accomplish. Do you remember our original list? We also had our follow up when we did our last quarter as [...]

Welcome to the moon.

Welcome to the new La Lune website! :)

Hello everyone, it’s been a long time coming but the time is finally here, just in time for our first year anniversary! You’re standing at the precipice of our new website!  To give it some oomph we’ve gone ahead and re-written nearly all our old blog posts, and added even more, so ALL the content is brand new! What’s more is we have a large schedule of awesome new things to share with you over the last remaining months of the year, and some pretty exciting changes to come. The site will be evolving in design and function with more and more content we’ll be adding, so make sure to keep up with us here on the journal by subscribing or by checking us out on facebook!

I know many, MANY of you are asking right away…where’s the “services” link?!?  We’ve decided that we will no longer be taking fully custom ProPhoto design work any longer. While this may or may not be something temporary, right now we’re only choosing to concentrate on ProPhoto template design. With that in mind, we are opening up our hourly design work for any ProPhoto design you may already have or if you want us to make a few customizations to an existing template you’ve purchased from the store. For specific needs please contact us!

We really hope you enjoy the new website, and we can’t wait to show what we have in store for everyone! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

ProPhoto 4: Olympus

P4 Minimal Template DesignImages copyright and courtesy of the ever so awesome Hugh Forte.

Hi guys, Matt here again with another all new minimalist design! As many of you know at this point, I’m all about simple and to the point design practices. With this minimal design I focused on the bare minimum, there’s not many bells or whistles here, and if something wasn’t necessarily needed for the design, then it was removed.  It’s just a plain sleek design with minimal impact on the reader and maximum impact on the content added. The focus for any photographer should always be their work of course, and although flashy and beautiful design can take your work to a new level, it’s the work that should be standing out in the first place. The awesome thing about this particular design is that with a few small changes it could be a beautiful grid design instead of one with the normal posts view.

This design features an all text sidebar, with a few social networking buttons which come included as photoshop files for you to play around with as needed. The design also includes our standard set of header slideshow templates, the logo, and  a handy instructional file to get you started. Our photoshop files are compatible with older versions of Photoshop CS and Elements.

Check out the demo and buy the design here.
