Recent adventures

It was a cheap plastic camera I got for my birthday that started me on this path of photography. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I secretly loved this art for years (14 to be exact) before I found the courage to pursue it professionally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since I was always taking the more "practical" classes, I rarely had a chance to study photography. Instead I spent my free time and late nights googling my heart out and watching tons of videos to slowly hone my skills. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still find such joy in learning. I now firmly believe that everyone should always be learning something new. There are just too many exciting ideas out there to remain complacent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. Have you entered my COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY GIVEAWAY yet? If not, head over to my previous post for all the details! . . . #athomeintheworld #travelphotographer #zillatravels #thisisboise #letsgoeverywhere #traveldeeper #honesttravel #whereitravel #fodorsonthego #takemethere #dispatchfrom #adventurecouple #dametraveler #boise #idaho #idahome #thisisboise

Life is so much simpler up in the mountains without WiFi and system backups. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My poor business tends to be shut down by tech problems pretty frequently. I've been stuck for the last four days waiting on a full drive backup to complete so I can use my computer again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I'm excited to finish my 8hr shift today and head home to work on my business for the evening. Cause sometime freedom is getting to work your ass off for your dreams. . . . #athomeintheworld #travelphotographer #zillatravels #thisisboise #letsgoeverywhere #traveldeeper #honesttravel #whereitravel #fodorsonthego #takemethere #dispatchfrom #adventurecouple #dametraveler #boise #idaho #idahome #thisisboise #rural #backroads
Once upon a time I believed the myth that there were only a few practical ways to live your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The lies I told myself included: it's okay if I hate my career for 20 years. I'll make a lot of money and then have the rest of my life to do what I want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember in college being so afraid of dull office settings where everyone is just like everyone else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yet I went for in for it anyways, checked all those typical life starter boxes, and unsurprisingly ended up sad, beat down and scraping for an exit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5 years ago I started making little changes to reach out towards what truely brought me joy. That led me to wedding photography and South America and more adventures then I could have dreamed of before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I'm a wanderer and a dreamer. And it continues to bring me the greatest joy. . . . #adventurebride #destinationweddingphotographer #destinationwedding #littlethingstheory #elopement #indiewedding #intimatewedding #elopementphotographer #hippiewedding #idahowedding #boisewedding #idahoweddingphotographer #boiseweddingphotographer #idowed #loveintentionally
This crowded street was part of our daily walk during the month we lived in Valparaiso, Chile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On foot we could jump down the brightly painted stairways. Just about every block we passed looked like this. Narrow streets packed with parked cars and power lines crisscrossing every which way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not every hill in the city is like this. Some are more touristy, filled to the brim with people and street art. But Cerro Mariposa offered the quiet soul of Valpo, with the history of the city hidden and waiting for a resurgence. . . . #athomeintheworld #travelphotographer #zillatravels #letsgoeverywhere #traveldeeper #honesttravel #whereitravel #fodorsonthego #takemethere #dispatchfrom #adventurecouple #dametraveler #valparaíso #visitchile #lonelyplanet #IAmATraveler #cntraveler #passionpassport #roamtravels #welivetoexplore #boise #idaho #idahome #thisisboise
 

I'm constantly drawn to move

I could not invent anything more wonderful than jumping up, then down, into a magically new place. Travel and photography have always gone hang in hand for me. I captured my first trip abroad as a young teen on my rarely reliable N64-themed film camera. My last adventure I shuffled between cameras on my year long wander through South America. Walking new streets brings me to life.

Along the way, 17 countries to be exact, taking photos has become my passion, my creative outlet, and pure joy. I seek out simple scenes for their little moments and crowded places for their big feelings.

Looking to go somewhere? I'd RECOMMEND:

colombia
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
The Beaches of Uruguay
ecuador

“I’m always dreaming about future adventures”

here's my EVER CHANGING wishlist:

bali
new mexico
romania
japan

 

Want to go somewhere?

The more I travel the more I realize there is to see. So I plan to travel for the rest of my life. If you're a wanderer like me you've always got a little idea sprouting in your mind of where could be next. Now is always the time to say yes to that next travel dream.
