““I’m going to make everything around me beautiful, and that will be my life.” -Elsie De Wolfe”

I have this thing for the ocean. The color, the movement, the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. So when my husband decided he wanted to take up sailing I was kind of excited about it. I think I sailed once in school in Norway when I was a lot younger, but other than that I hadn’t been, so I was really shocked when the boat tipped over way further than I thought was safe. I leaned to the opposite side as much as I could and almost over the railing! I thought for sure we were going to capsize. Since then, I’ve become used to the way a sailboat heels, and it doesn’t frighten me. As much. Isn’t it like that with life though? We struggle at the smallest difficulties and think we’re done for. But then as we get experience, we learn to lean in and not be afraid... Just some of my random musings as my husband is on the west coast sailing this weekend. .

Can’t get over this new family and how wonderful this shoot was. @kelizondo28

Another one from this beautiful Rhode Island Wedding.
Many of you have been asking about family mini sessions.
It has been super busy working full time as a photographer for Usana but I’m loving all the variety and opportunities I have there. However I’m looking for a day that will work so stay tuned! .

I’ve been reading the book Mastery by Robert Greene these past two weeks, and it might be one of my favorite books ever. I’d really like to quote the whole book 😂, but here’s a small excerpt... “The problem with all students, he said, is that they inevitably stop somewhere. They hear an idea and they hold on to it until it becomes dead; they want to flatter themselves that they know the truth. But true Zen never stops, never congeals into such truths. That is why everyone must constantly be pushed to the abyss, starting over and feeling their utter worthlessness as a student. Without suffering and doubts, the mind will come to rest on clichés and stay there, until the spirit dies as well. Not even enlightenment is enough. You must continually start over and challenge yourself.”

Forgive me if I post a lot of photos from this beautiful wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. Things have finally slowed down and I have some time. :) .

I love motion in my images. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the right one, but it’s always worth it. And film captures it so beautifully.
