Things I love

Ok....it's a new year and with that tends to come resolutions. Here's my main one-to blog more often :) To regularly keep you updated on what I'm doing as a photographer and in life as well. So in order to do that lets start at the beginning-a little bit about me and the things I love:


My sisters: 

No matter what or where we are, my sisters are my best friends, we can hang out and do nothing or have the best time and laugh until we cry-and through whatever, I know we will always be there for each other. 


My parents:

No matter what I need or where I am they are always there for me and willing to help. And they are crazy enough to keep all of us laughing :) 


My girls: 

As scattered throughout the country as we are, I love that we are just a phone call away. 


My man: 

Funny, supportive, wonderful, caring, can't ever make a serious face in pictures, and always calms me down when I get a little crazy.


Color: 

I love the way it can brighten a room or change a mood. How it can be created purposefully or just stumbled across. How it's found in nature, or created by artists. Color inspires. 


Coffee:

The taste, the smell, the different roasts, the way it makes me a more pleasant person in the morning. 


Food: 

From any country, any variety, any time of day. I love watching about food, cooking food, reading about food-yes...I think there is a 300 pound person stuck inside my petite 5'3 frame. But seriously, I love how food can nourish, comfort, and cheer. How cathartic cooking is and how fun sitting around a table can be. Food brings people together.


Nature: 

The beauty you stumble across or seek out, the scenes that are waiting to be shot. Be it breathtaking sunrises or the still quiet of the rain forest I love being out in the world, exploring. 


My newest inspiration:

While I have many inspirations the latest is Jasmine Star's Exposed magazine. Her honesty in mistakes and tips where she excelled inspired me to do more and be more, to stop being held back by my fears and go for it-to take risks for the things I love. So where ever you are out there in the great universe, thank you Jasmine Star for not giving up on your dream-and being real enough to encourage others to do the same. 






Well, that's just a little taste for now, an insight into who I am when I'm not behind a camera. I hope you enjoyed it. And for those who were featured, thanks for making a difference in my life :)
