• I’m not going to lie, my caption game is a tad depleted right now. Actually my whole mental game is depleted. So, let’s pause while I go on a long walk and try and remember what it feels like to travel to the beach or a new city or just get lost someplace far, far away. Happpy Monday folks! xo // #travelmariss

  • I had an entire caption planned out explaining my spontaneous decision to travel abroad in college. One that began with a late night email, one weekend to plan it out, and signing up for 21 credit hours to take simultaneously. But when I look back at these photos I’m not reminded of any of that. I’m reminded of the calm. The calm, the beauty, the effortless snapshot in time that was created the moment I decided to do something for myself. Traveling has always offered me that option, but 2011 was the first time I felt it in my bones. I shifted with the change and allowed my body to adapt. After 5 months, 7 countries and 15+ cities later, I realized the crucial beauty of living a truly present life. The birds chirping in the morning. The rain forming puddles on cobblestone. The detail formed by hands of sculptures. The strokes of love formed by painters. The history, the present, and the future all rolled into one emotion. The smell of fresh bread in the morning. A slow nod to a stranger in passing. The act of just opening a window and feeling a breeze wash over you. The calm changed me. Nowadays, I lose the feeling more often than I wish. Sometimes life wraps me so tight that I forget I’m the one controlling my own breath. And with that I just wanted to remind you all - take a minute, a moment, a split second in your day and find your sense of calm. What is in your bones that relaxes you? That makes you feel the most present in your life? It’s there, I promise. // #travelmariss

  • Sup sup kids! Marissa here with a shameless selfie on this fine Friday morning! School began this week, and I didn’t realize how much I needed it back in my life. Even with the precautions and new rules to follow, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. That and my routine returned like clockwork: Wake up at 5. Work out. AM Latchkey. Emails. Photo edits / cool MDP stuff. Eat lunch. PM Latchkey. Extra Photo work. Dinner, Read & Bed. Isn’t that wild? Just like that, my schedule reworked it’s way back to a semi-normal semblance of a 30 year old life. I’m not mad about it. Although I will be incredibly grateful to sleep a bit this weekend! 🙈💕 // #marissadeckerphotography
