Desert Princess Bride ✨🌙☀️
Last night was crazzyyyy!!! We started the first portion of our evening with a strenuous sweat bath thanks to the incline of the 2 hour trail! Yes, they are kind of an unreal couple. Then we took advantage of this beautiful golden hour on one of the craziest peaks!! (This elevation for Manitoba is seriously golden, ponyboy). I had to stop myself from taking endless shots as we were on a strict time schedule. We knew we didn't want to be hiking back in the dark. This was the case for the most part at least! The hike back was much easier as it involved a downhill hustle, the annoying ringing of my bear bell attached to my camera bag and many trips on the roots that suck out from the ground. Though we didn't get quite out of the woods, we did make it back to the parking lot to enjoy that 24 pack of water awaiting us. I will say one thing that picked up the pace on the way back was the jolting of a bat at my face. It happened so fast and it hit my neck on its way down, just enough for me to say "holy sheeeet" and it's a miracle how my legs went from feeling like mush to a marathon runner in a heartbeat ☺️

I am obsessed.
I've been asked before, "don't you start to feel it all get repetitive? Like weddings and your shoots. How you direct people... your editing? Don't you get bored?!" Honestly, I don't! In fact I used to but that was when I first transitioned this hobby into a business and when I put so much pressure on myself to be a good 'business woman' that I started to treat it like an obligation rather than a creative outlet. That was when I didn't know what my creative capabilities were and I forced myself to follow the trends that everyone else was liking. When I took on every job because I needed the work instead of staying true to my style and personality. I've reached a point where I am confident in my work enough to explore and be unique! Something I wish I could have developed sooner, but am grateful that I have at all. I never thought I'd get to a point where I genuinely like my work (we are our own worst critics). Though I know I'll always be very particular and critical of my photographs, I don't think it's a bad thing to feel proud of your work either! Confidence has allowed me to be an artist again. To take control of my own portfolio, time and energy. It's truly an amazing feeling 💕
Words can't begin to describe the Washington coast. I am in awe of every bit of natural beauty it has to offer. There are so many unique characteristics in each place I visit that defines the PNW at its finest. As a photographer, I follow many accounts who either reside or have travelled to this region and there's no doubt the photographs emanate the stunning landscapes. However, until you really see it all for yourself, you can't truly comprehend the profound beauty. How lucky I am to have been able to photograph in a variety of spots!
