I hope everyone is feeling free and relaxed as Scott did in this picture above! We are in the office working away since we are going to be in Portland, Oregon later this week! Lots of awesome weddings, sessions and films to work on! Hope you all are having an amazing day!
My best friend recently told me I am an encourager…it was one of the best compliments I have ever been given. Please push everyone around you to the top. Please.
Today Scott and I were heading home through the Malibu Canyon from an amazing engagement session and I yearned for someone to pinch me. Is this for real? My job is a dream. I get to socialize with awesome people who are in love and inspire me, work next to my best friend, complete my assignments by my feet being crashed upon with the ocean water and I get to view cotton candy skys. I want everyone to feel what I feel upon “leaving the office” and “finishing up the work day”…THAT would make me the happiest girl in the world. =)
Hope you all are enjoying this amazing weekend!
Today we are back in the office from a week long vacation that consisted mostly of nature. This image was taken at Scotts aunt and uncles house in Danville, Illinois where they are surrounded by nearly 7 foot corn fields all around their property. The simplicity of farms and growing crops intrigues me. Sure, the equipment has become more advanced but the techniques have been the same for centuries…it’s amazing to surround yourself with authenticity and get in touch with where we all came from.
It just takes one person to change a moment. To change a life. To change many lives. I am often touched by the good samaritans of the world, they inspire and push me to be a better person. I was moved by this story today, a man who has offered a listening ear and a helping hand to hurt souls who just needed to know someone was there for them. When I read stories like these, I pray that everyone would do the same, and if not, that it’s something that moves, inspires and changes them because it simply takes action to get something going..and if that thing could start off being common genuine courtesy..this world would be a better place.
Let’s start off with smiling at every stranger we see today…and if someone looks sad, lets show them that we are there for them…we are all in this together after all. =)
I always saw Hawaii as such a cliche vacation spot. When people who say they were going on their honeymoon to Hawaii, a part of me was like “really? out of everywhere tropical?”. That is really mean and hard to admit out loud but now I can say that…because I am wrong. I prejudged Hawaii. I would visit this state over and over and over again. I could float in the water, scoot around the land, eat Hawaiian cookies, hula dance, and say Mahalo all day long. I judged the commercialism of this beautiful location and it makes me wonder how many other things I am hesitant towards that are probably really super awesome! I have fallen in love with a location, with a culture and a lifestyle and I can’t wait to go back.
