It can be hard to live in the moment and not dwell on the future. Talk like, "I can't wait until..." or "I wish it were three months from now..." creeps in so easily in every day life. My mom always reminded me of the wise words her mother so often repeated: "Don't wish your life away."
As I've been recovering from a C-section and adjusting to life as a new mother, I have definitely struggled with thoughts toward the future: “I just have to make it to six weeks, then I can get back to exercising like I used to” (sorry Linds, not going to happen as soon as you were hoping) or "I can't wait until Hunter sleeps through the night." (When does that happen, exactly?)
I realized I was so focused on figuring out how the future is going to look that I was missing the beautiful moments of the present. I had to come to terms with the fact that this moment will never happen again, and no, I may not even make it out of the house every day, but right now, that's ok.

I just want to sit on one of these red chairs and watch the world go by. Who's with me?

2019 has been really good to me. I've had the opportunity to work with some incredible clients, travel around the world, and grow, not only as a photographer and videographer, but as a person (figuratively and literally 😉 read on). However, my most favorite thing of 2019 was finding out that we are expecting a baby boy! I'm scared out of my mind, but also so so excited for this new adventure. What a blessing this whole experience has been. I just hope I can keep up with this little one. 2020 here we come!

Teal and orange. It's become a popular way to edit photos and video. When forced, I think it can look down right awful. But when used naturally, and subtly, it's the most beautiful color combination out there. The reason behind it is that teal (or blue) and orange are opposing colors on a color wheel, which makes them complimentary colors. They create contrast, and can direct the eye, just like leading lines (see second image). Blue and orange are popular not only because they are found naturally in light, but because most skin tones are more orange than any other color on the color wheel and teal is the closest opposing color to most skin tones. Look for these opposing colors in photography and video and figure out why they work together. Just don't force the colors in post production, boost the saturation, and call it good. .

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

I've always enjoyed the type of sports that evoke a sort of stillness in the extreme. Canyoneering is one of those sports. It takes your full concentration. Deliberate and swift motions. Double checking and rechecking. Deep in the wilderness. Away from civilization. Away from cell service. Away from the noise.

I've been listening to the new audiobook "Stillness is the Key" by @ryanholiday. It's the perfect book to read or listen to during this crazy holiday season. So if you're looking for a little more stillness in your life (isn't everybody?), I highly recommend it.

Apparently I'm really serious about flying my drone. Haha, but really, I'm kind of a safety nerd, so I guess it makes sense. Hope you all are having a wonderful and safe week!
