Have you ever noticed how much inspiration you can find on here?! It so full of amazing locations and beautiful people! You can even connect with the people who are inspiring you to be a better person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have to admit sometimes the inspiration turns into comparison. And we all know that playing the comparison game can not only put us in a funk but it can make us not appreciate who and what we have in our lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT we all have to remember what Theodore Roosevelt said, Comparison is the thief of Joy! So let's cheer each other on and not compare ourselves, let's just be happy and excited for where they are at. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the end of the day, I’m so glad I’m here, and I’m SO glad you’re here! Because we can connect and inspire each other to be our best selves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you feel me on this, tag a friend that needs a little cheering on today because they are awesome humans! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, tell me how you keep your sanity on and not compare! . . .

“Adventure isn’t hanging off a rope on the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life” – John Amat ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, John, I have some news for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IT'S BOTH! I'd say it's a grand adventure to hang off a rope on the Via Ferrata! It's thrilling and exciting to hang off the side of a mountain wall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd also say that we have to find that excitement in everyday life to make it thrilling, exciting and rewarding. The everyday obstacles of life will always be there. And making them a thrilling adventure makes it a wonderful life worth living because you’re making a life with someone special to your heart! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One way to make something every day like grocery store shopping exciting and fun is if you have a dance party while putting everything away in the fridge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you think everyday life AND via ferratas are both adventures?
Let me share something with you that I’ve been buzzing about all week! I learned something... I can consume at least 1 book a week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yeah, it's possible, not because I found all this time laying around, it's possible because I'm listening to them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is fantastic because my brain craves learning new things and when I learn my brain is happy. And the more I learn, them more I can serve and help my clients. So instead of reading I'm listening and gaining perspective and knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me something you learned recently that changed the way you do things! . . . .

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone feels the love today! Around here, this holiday is more about family and self-care than it is romantic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I try to give myself some extra love today by doing little things that are special to me. Like a bath bomb, an extra cup of coffee or even Chick-fil-a for lunch! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our mommas usually spoil us on Valentine's Day with Carrot Cake or Chocolates to enjoy. We love when they mail us the love! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Matt & I are planning a super low key Valentine's Day! We're keeping the tradition alive this year by getting take-out and watching a movie! And if I'm gonna be sappy, I'd say we don't need a holiday to show our love for each other. We work hard all year to make sure our love languages are filled up to the rim! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you celebrate Valentine's Day with your family or loved one?
Ever worry you won't remember what your flowers looked like and smelled like on your wedding day? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know how it feels! To be afraid that things are going to go by too fast. Plus, when you put all this planning into something you want it to be perfect and you want to remember it all. Even the way it smelled. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the honest truth is that it's going to fly by and you might not remember every single flower that was in your bouquet. And TRUTH IS... it doesn't matter! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because what does matter is the person you are saying your vows to! What does matter is how much you love them and want to spend a lifetime with them having adventures! What does matter is how happy and excited you felt! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to make sure you remember the way you felt on your big day! The photographs can jog your memories and keep documentation of all the fun little details like what flowers you picked out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it's the relationship between you two that matters most! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So… ready to be in the moment and have an incredible wedding day with the one you love? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start by giving your love bug a little longer hug today, because that's what matters most! . .

Did you know I live in Colorado? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How I ended up here is a bit of a long story, but here’s what it all comes down to: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love Colorado because of the mountains, the community of people, endless lists of breweries, family crew, and the never-ending outdoor sports opportunities. Oh and all the snow, I can't forget about the snow days! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (By the way, if you’re in Colorado, send me a DM! I love making new local connections!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, I want to know… where are you?? And why have you chosen to call it home?
Did you know you can get that alpine glow in the morning and the evening? 🌞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, I'm sure most of you are typically sleeping during that time! But I'm here to tell you that early morning in the summertime (or dead of winter, but then it’s not that early 🤣) is really worth the sleeplessness. I mean, look at that! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They were willing to brave the sunrise photo session! 🏔 Who else likes to get to the mountains before everyone else?
I know every time I'm planning on getting in front of a camera, I kinda freak out! I know, I'm a photographer and shouldn't freak out at the thought of being photographed but I do! I have the same nervousness that you have... what if these look horrible, what if I look ridiculous, what if I can't show anyone any of these pictures cause they look so bad. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I'm going to tell you, what I tell myself! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well.... first I give myself a little pep talk - You are a beautiful, talented, strong and tuff outdoorsy gal who loves with an open heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then I get dressed in something that makes me feel good that I know I can walk into a room with confidence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After that, the main thing I keep in mind during the session is... HAVE FUN! This is about being goofy, this is about running around, this is about exploring, this is about playing! I also usually drink a beer before so I can feel like I'm really just hanging out with a friend, and I am! Thanks @larissaoutofoffice ! Who else gets a little nervous?
Okay, let me be cliche for a second, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Yep, I know you have heard that one a billion times. Well, ya know... it's kinda true! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think sometimes the things are cliche, are cliche for the simple reason that they're true! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So there ya have it! Photographs can capture more than I can possibly explain in just one glance. Do you think this stereotype is correct? . . . .

Is your dog a family member? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, I know JAX is! I know he's just a fur ball but I love him! He’s a really important family member in this house! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want your pup at your big day, count me in! I love dogs and love when they are at the wedding or elopement. Do you have a fur ball? . . . . . Photographed while shooting for @trippfayphoto
