• To my fellow dreamers, creatives, unrealistic thinkers, anything is possible-ers: pursuing a passion and going against the status quo of a traditional career model is rapidly growing in popularity in today’s culture, and I love it! I am CHEERING for you and your endeavors! There isn’t a full time creative or passion pursuer who hasn’t heard things like, “you lucky dog!”, “I wish I could do ______ and get paid for it.”, “must be nice to not have a real job.” and a plethora of other lines that leave you feeling like you need to excessively express your gratitude for the privilege of such an unrealistic job. Then you walk away and feel a wave of guilt for feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, exhausted, overworked, stressed, and the opposite of a unicorn living it’s best life. Hey, it’s ok. Your dream is still a job. It’s not suppose to be easy. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. IT’S OK TO NEED A BREAK, TO SHARE THE STRUGGLE, AND BE HONEST. It doesn’t make your work any less valuable or impactful. It makes you friggin’ human. You can’t expect someone to understand a life they’ve never lived—you’re a rockstar unicorn of a human in their book! So keep putting one foot in front of the other. Step back when you need to. Appreciate the journey, and know you’ve chosen a path with a lot more weeds, wild animals, rivers to cross and cliffs to scale than the average human. And that means you’ll exude way more energy at times, and need longer breaks to recover from living your dream. 🌿 Can any rockstar unicorns relate? 🦄 #CokerConvos

  • Day 2 is in the books for @bertsbigadv! Bert’s Big Adventure is an organization I volunteer with that takes kids with terminal or chronic illnesses and their families to @disney each year. This is my sixth trip! Wowzers! I love working with Bert’s Big Adventure because each interaction, conversation, and trip gives perspective that nothing else can. I love shooting weddings, chatting with seniors, teaching photographers, and serving other female business owners, but this gives me LIFE. These kiddos are what make the world good with their tenacity, joy, and courage. Follow along for just a piece of the magic at #BBA2020 and @bertsbigadv! ✨

  • These women deserve all the love this Galentine’s Day. The three girls around me are the faces behind @dashphotographyatl. They are constantly brainstorming ideas to better connect with our clients, and create a brand worth investing in (both internally and externally). They are helpers, they are creatives, they are beauties, and they are just good good people. Dash is thriving because of THEM. My life is less stressful and more lively because of THEM. Our clients love us because of THEM. I’m so proud and honored to be standing with them. Happy Galentine’s you rockstars. Thank you for everything you do and are. 🤘🏽🖤 Feel free to show some love to ya girls below! Don’t just think it, say it! 💥 #dashphotographyatl
