“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” — Kahil Gibran This is one of my favorite quotes and one that I often incorporate in to my week long retreat planning. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the every day minutia, so it is important to have reminders to pause, come back to our natural state, check in with nature, ground down and slow down. At least once a day I try to take a pause outside and just breathe, and reconnect with my breath and the beauty of nature around us. Read more>>

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” To me, this is the essence of my being. I love that I have the ability to capture and make memories for other people and myself. I strive to find the beauty in everything and everyone. I also love that I get to let my creative juices flow on a daily basis. It is a literal dream job for me to be able to fly my drone over the mountains to get those extra special Broll shots for my videos. Read more>>

There are a variety of quotes and affirmations that have kept me grounded throughout my life and professional career. The most important quote being one that my mother has been sharing with me since I was a child. In Spanish, she would say “Mas vale perder un minuto en la vida, que perder la vida en un minuto.” This translates to “It is better to lose a minute a minute in life, than to lose life in one minute.” She would tell me this every single time that she felt that I was frustrated, rushing tasks, or simply annoyed by the current way that life was unfolding in front of me.
